If at first you don’t succeed – don’t try parachuting, but seriously what to do when the player doesn’t get it straight away, or gets it wrong. We can give clues – these could be:
- verbal – written instructions or a riddle (this could also be used instead of a picture – e.g. find the winged lady – for a statue of an angel)
- some visual guide to hotter / colder. This could be used all the time or just when the player gets stuck
- sounds – a ticking that gets louder/faster – this would make an interesting variant on the puzzle where this is the only means of finding the answer
- more pictures – that show more detail of the target
- combinations of the above either in sequence or done randomly
