New (second hand but unopened Silver) owner checking in

Post by blublu »

Hello there. I'm just someone who recently discovered the wonder that is Revomaze pretty late. I have purchased bestimmer's Silver Revomaze that he was selling and I have no intention to let it go down without a fight. I haven't gotten it yet but it will be here shortly I hope.
I would have preferred to complete at least Bronze before taking on the Silver, but in this world where I got an opportunity to buy someone's totally un-opened-before Silver, there was no way I could let that one go. The only Revomaze I have solved before is the Blue, though I have Green on the way also. I'm a little scared but also really excited.

Welcome to the family Blublu! :D

You are brave going for the Silver so soon! At least you've opened the Blue, so you do have a basic idea of what you're up against. And of course if you really do struggle you'll always have the Bronze to fall back on. Either way, I'm sure you'll really enjoy yourself!

Jumping to the silver eh?(queue evil laughter in the background)..Be afraid...be VERY afraid >:D muwahahaha.

Enjoy the experience, the silver is nothing short of a monster! a most enjoyable monster though. I'd highly recommend giving the bronze a go as well before hand. The green teaches excellent core control but nothing new to the blue, the bronze has something new for the adventurer who's solved the blue or green. The silver has a whole array of tricks - some of them are extremely sneaky and have ended up with the silver having a special nickname amongst a few people(you know who you are!) ;)

Seriously though Welcome and enjoy the Silver it is a wonderful puzzle and should keep you busy for somewhere in between 10 minutes and 2 years(I'm not joking) ;)

In my opinion, the Silver is by far the best puzzle in the series if you want a solid challenge that will take a lot of time and thinking. Plus, you can solve it in solitary confinement.

Can't agree more! Silver is definitely the hardest, but it tells a story. I very long and sad story full of deceit, despair and spinning. :lol:

you'll enjoy it, my first revo was the green and then I jumped to sliver. I do like the bronze puzzle just a little more than sliver, but they are my top picks enjoy and keep us posted :roll:
