    The Lich King Didn't give up! A Preventable Spooky Setback With Silence

    This is definitely one of the trickier ones. 

    There's an effect in an older set that would be beneficial to use Silence on.

    Some might get spooked out by the art.

    I feel rattled to the bones thinking about it.

    I am also confused about "The Lich King Didn't give up. A Preventable Spooky Setback With Silence." However, for the guidebook clue:

    I'm just stuck on the Gorillas one and the guidebook one. Can anyone offer a hint for either one that doesn't give it away?

      Think "gorilla" and "spooky" in the same thought.

    I´m having problem with this one:

    "A place to dress up cards however you like."

    I thought it´s cardback section related, but visiting it doesn´t do anything. Is it related to specific card back or I´m totally off? :D

    P.S. Don´t need exact answer, just a little hint :)

      You're correct in that it isn't a card database thing. Think of the systems we have on the site.

    There were some of you that were refresh spamming to earn your treats, but really, you should have been receiving tricks!

    An update has gone out that reduces the ability to do this somewhat - go browse the site naturally and engage in conversation or maybe find a deck a fellow community member has created and give it an upvote that it deserves.

    I won't go into exactly how it works for obvious reasons, but you definitely can't sit here and F5 anymore.

    We'll see how it goes for the rest of the day. It's really easy for us to tune the numbers on everything so if it isn't working, we'll scale it back a bit.

    Also, on Halloween everyone is going to get a bucket of candy, so look forward to that!

    So, are we doing hints for these? Usually folks come by to both offer and ask for hints, but maybe no one is because there are actual prizes available? I'm struggling on a few of the Hearthstone ones (only game I play) and wouldn't mind a little nudge in the right direction. I'll offer a hint too, so I'm not showing up empty-handed:

    Two of the Hearthstone clues refer to card backs.

      There are some that seem real easy but wasn't quite right.

      "To have a free Polymerization at hand at all times produces some truly grizzly results." thought it could be Tinkmaster Overspark

      "A place to dress up cards however you like." thought it could be the card back outofcards page

       

      you mentioned 2 card backs but i only managed to find one of the secrets by clicking all of the backs

        There are definitely 2 that are card backs. 

        The "polymerization" clue

        leads to a hero card.
