I fail in special rooms

So yesterday, I was given both the hairball challenge (I can't remember what it was called) and the rainbow run challenge. Both times, I failed to do the challenge and failed to even figure out how to get out of the room.

With the hairball, I think the fail might be unique to me... there were other players there and they managed to get out. Whether or not they ever saw a hairball I don't know. I never saw one (I did pick up an object of no apparent intrinsic value and talk to a dust bunny). I'm not sure what was supposed to happen in that room, but I never figured it out. Everyone else left and I felt like I'd tried everything I could think of. I couldn't figure out how to get out, but I still had the other challenge available, so I went there.

And I think this was a bug, but the timer never seemed to start for the rainbow run and then also I couldn't figure out how to get out, but I followed stoot. (And then, as I mentioned elsewhere, the rainbow run timer displayed in my window never went away, not even after a few restarts.)

I'm not sure what might have been bug and what might have been feature (and personal fail) here... but I also thought I should be able to (get out when I'm tired of trying and) go back and try again after giving up on these special tasks.

  • Just regarding the hairball challenge - the dust bunny was the hairball :-) you had to bring the shiny object back to it.

  • Hairball was fine for me. Reminded me that "A Cold Place" stuck on my screen after leaving Wintry, though.

  • I also got "A Cold Place" stuck on my screen after heading to warmer climes.

    I heard talk in global chat about getting stuck in Rainbow Run, and as it was almost the end of the day, I decided not to take up the challenge when it was offered. However, my pet rock wouldn't let me hear the end of it, and his '1 new message' message kept popping up each each time I got a Quoin, even after I went through the dialogue to say I wasn't up for a run.

  • I already had a shiny object in my inventory, so I just gave the dust bunny that. Not sure if that should have been allowed or not.
