It was a wonderful quest! Guessing the foods was funny but I got the first two without help, then Goofy_Bob gave me the last two which were items I had already said for the first two answers. Many of us didn't seem to realize this was four separate tasks though. In my case, I was confused because of the multiple atoms gathering task.
I was confused as all get out about finding the five atoms in the space mountain quest deck until I remembered the new multiple item feature. I left the room and came back in just to make sure the quest wasn't broken. I does help to read the newsletter!
I knew the classics answers, from reading all sorts of Disney history stuff and collecting pins. I'm glad those were multiple choice though and think trivia like that should be multiple choice. That way people who don't know the answer can at least guess.
I gave the quest four stars for a few reasons.
1. There was so much confusion about finding the atoms (a little hint would have helped us first timers) considering all the instances of the room were at three yellow mickeys when I got to that task. It might help to have an indicator of how many items you have found in that type of task.
2. I love the descramble tasks but dont like having to say them aloud. I want to solve the tasks on my own and it is hard to avoid the other typing bubbles spouting the answers. I prefer when the task is scrambled they it was to go to the music game. For tonight's "We come in peace", I went and sat in an empty instance of the Mark Twain.
3. "to infinity, and beyond" was great. So many people had problems with it though so I propose we be allowed to say "comma" or "punctuation" so we can help others find that secret. We could say, "Type it the same as me, including punctuation." Don't necessarily change the difficulty of the task, instead make it easier for people who have solved the task to give hints.
4. I was surprised to see we needed car magic. It's not that difficult to get a car magic, diver suit magic has been used on other quests so I'm guessing a lot of quest people have that one. My suggestion is, if the quest is going to require something like car magic, give an advance warning on the newspage that the quest will require that magic. I imagine it was difficult for kids on a school night to get their car magic and complete the host quest.
So, overall, I'm very happy with the quest and I hope my comments can lead to a few tweaks in the quests.
For the record, my all time favorite quest task was the one where we were supposed to find the skull in the forbidden temple but it really was to just enter the room because the skull had "moved" to a room in the Haunted Mansion. That was so clever and so many people got stuck on the first task without realizing they had already completed it.
Hula, I hope you get to read this. You did a great job and please have more quests like this one!
Great Quest tonight staff if you're reading!
I also like the no trade button thanks to who ever got that added into the game.
I knew about the multiple item tasks but I agree totally that some sort of count would be very helpful. I have quit several player quests since I didn't know how many more I was missing. All in all this was my favorite quest in a long time, here's hoping next weeks follows suit.
