The latest game mode of Hearthstone is now live. In Dr. Boom’s Puzzle Lab, you can test your skills on challenging puzzles!
Last night (August 21, 2018), the new single-player mode of Hearthstone was unlocked. Two weeks after the original release of Dr. Boom’s Lab, players can now enter the solo adventure. This time, however, it’s not about defeating different bosses, but rather solving challenging puzzles.
Four different puzzle categories: As in other adventures, there are four “wings” this time assigned to different types of puzzles. Each wing includes approximately 25 puzzles, with six to nine played consecutively per round, which are then summarized into a challenge. The puzzles start off very simple but quickly become more difficult.
What puzzles are there? The four categories of puzzles include:
- Death Zone: Players must destroy the opposing hero this turn, reducing their health points to 0.
- Mirror Image: Your playing field must be an exact copy of the opponent’s field. The same minions must face each other, have the same health points, and possess the same buffs.
- Survival: This mode is the opposite of “Death Zone”. Players must ensure that their health points rise back to 30. Only then can they survive the next attack.
- Tabula Rasa: In this mode, the field must be completely cleared of minions. By the end of the turn, no minions should be left – neither on your side nor on the opponent’s side.
Anyone who manages to solve all the puzzles will receive a special card back. However, there is no time pressure – everyone can take as much time as they want.
Cortyn says: The puzzles are much more exciting and interesting than I initially assumed. Especially the “Survival” puzzles can get relatively tricky early on, as you have to play Hearthstone from a completely different perspective. I will definitely continue to try for a while and hopefully complete all puzzles without assistance – it would be a waste to ruin this game mode by looking at the solutions.
