Instructions

the game is meant to be played by two people , One will be looking at the mural , the other at the instuctions.

Both players will have to communicate to solve the mural before time in the hourglass runs out.

Moon Puzzle rules:

The moons follow each other in sequence; subsequent steps should not be completed if any step has a result (i.e. if Step 1 is matched/ is true, then you enter the result for that ring and move on to the next ring, skipping all following steps for that ring).

Each step considers the moon phases in each of the 4 pairs on screen. Mural refers to all 4 pairs. Top Half refers to the 2 pairs at the top of the screen. The other groupings should be obvious.

*1. Inner Ring Steps*

Step 1: If the Mural has 2 or more Phase Pairs (matching phases like New/Full, Crescent/Crescent, etc.):

-> Result: Waxing Gibbous
------------------------------
Step 2: If ALL 4 pairs on the Mural are Mixed (each pair has 1 Waxing + 1 Waning moon):

-> Result: Waning Gibbous
------------------------------
Step 3: If ANY pair on the Mural is an Opposite Pair (e.g., New + Full):

-> Result: Waning Crescent
------------------------------
Step 4 (Default): If none of the above apply:

-> Result: Waxing Crescent

*2. Middle Ring Steps*

Step 1: If the Top Half of the Mural contains a Phase Pair:

-> Result: New Moon
------------------------------
Step 2: If the Bottom Half of the Mural contains a Waning Crescent:

-> Result: First Quarter
------------------------------
Step 3: If the Top Half contains both a New Moon AND a Full Moon:

-> Result: Full Moon
------------------------------
Step 4 (Default): If none of the above apply:

-> Result: Last Quarter (Third Quarter)

*3. Outer Ring Steps*

Step 1:
If the Bottom Half of the Mural contains a Phase Pair :

-> Result: Take the top left moon and shift it 2 phases forward on the moon wheel.
------------------------------
Step 2: If the Left Side of the Mural has 1 or more Waxing moons:

-> Result: Take the Middle Ring's answer and shift it 1 phase forward.
------------------------------
Step 3: If the Right Side of the Mural has 1 or more Waning moons:

-> Result: Take the Inner Ring's answer and shift it 1 phase backward.
------------------------------
Step 4 (Default): If none of the above apply:

-> Result: Shift the top left moon 4 phases forward
