after the previous puzzle, I realized I had another Connections/Only Connect puzzle in me! Same rules as the last time: divide the above terms into 4 groups that each have four members, with none left over. Can you correctly figure out each of the categories and its members? Feel free to share your answers in the comments!
note: this one is harder, and requires some genre knowledge, but I think it's got a high hitrate% for cohost's userbase, and I'd love to hear guesses
Head is empty so I'm going to come back to this later but I wanted to say thank you because the last one was really fun!
Mario games: Odyssey, Galaxy, Sunshine, Mario Bros
Sagas: Egil’s, Twilight, Halloween, and Daybreak?
Toy companies: Mattel, Parker Bros, Hasbro, and ?
Either LEGO or Disney, but I’m not quite sure what the last four might be. Traverse is really throwing me off.
The answers that I could figure out:
___ Saga: Egil's, Twilight, Candy Crush
Mario ___: Sunshine, Galaxy, Odyssey
Toy Companies: Parker Bros., Hasbro, Mattel, Lego, Disney
Which leaves Daybreak, Superstar, Mario Bros., Halloween, Traverse. I'm guessing that the fourth category is a media thing I just don't know that includes the extra toy company (probably Lego?). And then one of the remnants is a Saga (Daybreak Saga sounds like a series to me?) and one of them is a Mario (Mario Superstar sounds likely).
"Traverse" is an excitingly confusing inclusion; even trying to look it up after I've given up yields no help. The only thing I found is that it's a car. I don't know anything about cars so maybe there are car models called Halloween, Lego, and Mario Bros.
The previous one played more to the sorts of trivia I know, but I did enjoy guessing at Saga from the morphology of the name despite not knowing what Egil's Saga was
You're promisingly close! Definitely no cars in this one, but it does make me think about a future car-category puzzle...
My hint is: a type of place, in common.
I had to give up on that last category, but that game is not a thing I'm familiar with anyway! But there's some great misdirects in this one, good job!
(somewhat quibbly note: I wanted "Mario Bros." to be rendered "Bros.", so that it fits the "Super Mario X" format)
(also, I showed it to Jake and Laura and they got it all and had a good time!)
You're so right – I intended it to be "Mario Bros." like the pre-super mario arcade cabinet game name, but rendering it "Bros." would've made the schema work more richly.
Thanks for playing ‐ I'm learning a lot as I make these!
partner & i came up with:
mario games: galaxy, sunshine, odyssey, mario bros.
toy companies: mattel, hasbro, parker bros., lego
sagas: egil's, candy crush, superstar, twilight
kingdom hearts towns: traverse, halloween, disney, daybreak
