So good news and bad news. The good news, it is possible to shave off three more moves.

The bad news is that the game has been out for so long and played by so many people so many times that whatever the lowest number of moves in the hall of fame is, that's probably the lowest number of moves possible.

In the MORE BAD NEWS arena, the only way for you to figure out how to get it down that low is through good old fashioned blood sweat and tears. You'll have to go through the game, map it out completely, then figure out what you have to do, and then figure out how to do it in the most efficient way possible. That's the only way you're going to get a lower score than you've already got.

Starting with Brackly Hall is a great way to introduce yourself to Low-Scoring. At least you didn't do with Escape from St Mary's or Perils of Akumos, either of which I won't even attempt to low-score.

Good luck on it, though, and I hope you manage to get there.
