I’ve started it. Fun! And not all that easy.
Yes, I'm already stuck on Puzzle 2. It's kind of a cool set-up (although frustrating at the moment) where you can't open the next puzzle until you have solved the current one.

You know there are hints, right? Also, #3 is harder than #2, IMO. I’m currently stuck on #4.

There's absolutely no way I would have gotten #4. I feel guilty even continuing since I never found the key...
4 was a killer. But.....5 I got by following my nose. Working on 6.

Okay. I'll proceed as if I picked the lock. Just this once.
#4 was tough. I knew fairly quickly what was going on but never finished. #5 went really quickly and #6 was a blast. Stuck on #7...I have an answer but I'm not ready to try it yet.
I haven't been shy about trying answers. #6 in particular could have worked in more than one way, and it took me more than one try. Got #7 on the first try, though.
I'm out!! (but my confession: The only hints I used were in #4, but they didn't help because I was already doing what they said to do. It was what to do about "what I was already doing" that I couldn't get. And there's no way that was a spoiler!).
