Jigsaw Puzzle No.3

OK, Howrse's latest contest continues and we are now on puzzle no.3. There are still plenty of questions and comments coming in from players.

 Now one thing which seems to be confusing people is the 'login' objective. As you'll see, each puzzle has two login objectives. So, you can only activate one of these per day.

Now, if you completed most of the objectives for puzzle no.2 yesterday, you still have one 'login' objective to complete. When you login in today, you will complete the 'login' objective for puzzle no.2.

Therefore you cannot complete the first 'login' objective for puzzle no.3 today. You can do that tomorrow. And so the second 'login' objective for puzzle no.3 can now only be completed in 2 days' time. So remember, you can only complete ONE login objective per day.

Right, so here is the list of objectives and gifts for jigsaw puzzle no.3:

Objective                                                       Gift
1. First login of the day                          Posiedon's Horseshoes
2. First login of the day                          100 x turnips
3. Take part in 50 competitions              8 x ageing points  (Depends on how many horses you have)
4. Win 15 competitions                          1 x Made to measure bridle
5. Catch a UFO                                      1 x Made to measure saddle
6. Be congratulated twice                       1 x Helios' Ray
7.Take part in the Grand Prix                 1 x 3000 equus
8. Groom xx horses                                1 x Ow's congratulations
9. Go to contest page at (TIME)            1 x Golden Spurs

Now the big news with this puzzle is that to complete it, you must have access to the Grand Prix. That's a bit of a shame for players who don't have this. Currently, the only way to get access to the Grand Prix is to win it from a Horn of Plenty.

Right. We'll be continuing our coverage of the contest so make sure you keep visiting and let us know how you're getting on.

Good luck!

Jigsaw Puzzle No.3 - soon

Well LucyLou and I are doing our best to keep up with the contest. We hope you are too. My fingers are aching after a long session at my keyboard but I just wanted to let you know that we are on track to bring you the latest news on puzzle No.3 in a few hours.

There are several questions that players keep asking us about the contest. If you read the other posts, you'll find all the answers you need. Just remember that the hidden pieces appear randomly, rather like UFO's. So you should get all the ones you need as you're online, playing the game.

Anyway, I need to rest my weary hands. See you soon, with all the info on the next jigsaw puzzle!

Puzzle No.2

Well the Puzzle contest is well under way. And as always with these contests, each level gets harder to complete. So, if you haven't yet completed Puzzle No.1 and want to know what the challenges are in No.2 - here they are: 


     Objective                                                       Gift
1. First login of the day                          Posiedon's Horseshoes
2. First login of the day                          50 x turnips
3. Take part in 50 competitions              5 x ageing points  (May depend on how many horses you have)
4. Catch a UFO                                       2000 equus
5. Find the hidden piece                         10% energy for all your horses
6. Find the hidden piece                        1 x Giraffe
7. Be congratulated one time                 1 x Eolus' Wind
8. Groom xx horses                                1 x Swallow (Depends how many horses you have. Max 100)
9. Go to contest page at (TIME)            1 x Helios' Ray

Now as in Puzzle No.1, the jigsaw pieces that you have to find, appear randomly just like UFO's. Also, the time you need to visit the contest page varies, so make sure you check it carefully. As for the 'First login of the day' - there are two of these because Howrse doesn't want players to complete the puzzle in a single day. So you will need to login on TWO different days to achieve these objectives.

Happy jigsawing everyone!
