Grow Ornament
December 19, 2005 - by Ian Bogost

A little Christmas distraction for this week. Those of you who have been puzzled by Grow, Grow RPG, and Grow Cube may like the special edition Happy X-mas miniGrow just released by Eyezmaze.

It has two fewer objects than the full versions of Grow, but don't let that make you think it's that much easier. So far, I've managed to max all objects save one. Grist for those Christmastime nutmeg mills...

Ok, I solved it. It's not too bad. :)

Comment from gman on December 19, 2005

I've been so close but I give up, how do you solve it??

Comment from Ian Bogost on December 19, 2005

Here's the solution in binary, to avoid spoliers:

01100111 01101001 01100110 01110100 01101000 01100101 01100001 01110010 01110100 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110101 01100100 01101100 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100 01110011 01110010 01101001 01100010 01100010 01101111 01101110 01110011 01110100 01100001 01110010

Comment from no one special on January 27, 2006

get over the crappy binary joke already...

Comment from toni on April 30, 2006

Your solution to the Grow Ornament isn’t exactly right. When I used it, the Lights and Heart did not max out. I played around with the order a little and got it to fully max out and say “Congratulations,” which all Grow lovers know means you found THE answer.

The current version on the eyemaze site is 0.2a and the solution is:

Present (gift)
Heart
Cloud
Lights
Ribbon
Star

Hope this is helpful for other Grow lovers like myself.
