Included at every location will be a puzzle that requires you to work with a torn picture and put together the pieces to recreate the original,, This puzzle can be carried out in Easy or Hard mode.  I must admit to total failure with this particular puzzle.  While I was often satisfied with the repair work I carried out, the puzzle would never accept my solution.

Rather than stick with the same type of puzzles for the final two puzzle in all locations, the remaining two puzzles varied in their type.  You could be asked to find the entries in a word square, complete a jigsaw, clear a Solitaire layout or play Paopao as you link icons.  Other puzzles types used include playing Sudoku with symbols not numbers, swapping sections in a Rhombus picture, navigating a Labyrinth, or reassembling a picture broken into section made up of Squares and Circles.
