Let me tell you, exploring the Wishing Woods in Infinity Nikki has been a total blast, but also, at times, a real head-scratcher! 😅 It's not all just hopping through hoops and arranging outfits, no sir. Tucked away in this magical corner of Miraland are these sneaky little box games called the Wishing Orb Express. Picture this: you're wandering with Nikki and Momo, soaking in the vibes, when you spot a small, glowing box on a table. Curiosity gets the better of you, and bam! You're suddenly playing traffic controller for these adorable, bumbling little spirits. Talk about a plot twist!

My mission? To guide the so-called Faewish Sprites to their matching colored tiles on a grid. Sounds simple, right? Well, let me just say, it's easier said than done. You get these arrow tokens to plot their path, but the real kicker is making sure these little guys don't bump into each other or run headfirst into a tree. It's like herding cats, but with more magic and glitter. Some puzzles were a piece of cake, while others had me staring at the screen for what felt like hours, muttering to myself. But the satisfaction of finally cracking one? Oh, that's the good stuff. It's all about collecting those sweet rewards and filling out my Folklore Guide, which, by the way, is my personal holy grail in this game.

The first thing I learned was to keep my eyes peeled for that golden glow. Any box I hadn't solved yet would shimmer like a beacon, which was super helpful. After combing through every nook and cranny of the woods, I found all eleven of them. Here's the lowdown on where they're all hiding out:

		Just chilling along the path near the Wish Pass Office exit. A nice warm-up!
		At the Wish Inspection Center, sitting pretty on a floral table. Fancy!
		Inside the Wishcraft Lab Nature Department. For the scientifically-inclined stylist.
		Right near the entrance of the Beauty Lab. Can't miss it!

Now, for the juicy part—how to actually solve these brain teasers. I'm gonna spill the tea on a few of my favorites (and my nemeses).

• Wish Pass Office: This one was my first. Simple. Just had to get a yellow sprite to a smiley token. I placed one arrow in front of it pointing down, and another a couple spaces below that, pointing right. Easy peasy! ✅

• Wish Inspection Center: Okay, this one required some thinking outside the box, literally. I kept trying to weave through the trees, but it was a no-go. The solution? Place a token pointing left right in front of the sprite. Then, one space from the board's edge, put another facing down. The final token goes in the intersecting spot, lining up with the goal. A real 'aha!' moment.

• Beauty Lab Market Area: Things got spicy here with three sprites (two blue, one yellow). I had to be super careful with my tokens. My winning combo was:

  1. Place a standard arrow facing down, two spaces right of the yellow sprite.

  2. Place another standard arrow pointing left, three spaces further, in the path of the bottom blue sprite.

  3. For the L-shaped arrow, I placed it right under the first down arrow, making sure the yellow part pointed to the yellow goal and the blue part to a blue goal. Coordination is key!

Some puzzles really tested my patience, let me tell you. The one at the Wish Celebration Center was a doozy. The board was littered with immovable tokens, and fitting my arrows in felt like solving a jigsaw puzzle blindfolded. I finally figured it out by placing a double-sided arrow below the top-left yellow sprite (yellow end pointing right), and an L-shaped arrow two spaces above it (blue end down). Phew!

And the final puzzle at the Aurosa Valley Management Office? It felt like the grand finale. I had to redirect sprites outside an inner square using five tokens, most of which filled the inner spaces. My strategy was to block and redirect, using a double-sided arrow at the top center and strategically placed blue and yellow arrows to shepherd everyone home.

Completing all eleven felt like a major accomplishment. It wasn't just about the in-game rewards (though those were sweet), but about the journey itself. Each little box was a unique challenge that made exploring the Wishing Woods so much more engaging. If you're diving into Infinity Nikki, don't sleep on these puzzles. They're a hidden gem that adds a whole other layer of fun to this already incredible world. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Folklore Guide to go brag about completing! 🎉
