Hi Dong Chan, you can download the Beta app directly through the Oculus App on your phone! Search for "Puzzling Places - Beta" and you'll find it in the App Lab section Here's the direct link (you need to be logged in with your Oculus account to be able to see the listing) - https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3623167214470921/
How can I get the Puzzling Place- Beta app? The only things I could install were -prototype and -patreon.
Very odd, will investigate and fix! Did you play the Christmas puzzle before playing Ice Cream Stairs by any chance?
I like the new 100 piece version and the larger scale of the finished puzzle, but, it plays Christmas music (from the Gingerbread house?) on completion! Also, although the 20 piece version is very easy, it's a great way to understand the game and controls, so I would vote to keep it.
Too easy, but pretty

Great intro

I don't understand how to install this properly... I downloaded all 3 parts, but when I unzip them it wants to overwrite the previously unzipped files; so I unzip them to differently named folders, but then get errors when unzipping and sidequest won't properly install the apks... I'm very confused. Oh! Does it just need all three downloads in the same location, and then you just extract one file but it actually pulls from all three downloads to construct the full apk? That seems to be what you're saying in the instructions above, and I did notice that the first attempt at unzipping worked along with the first sidequest install of that apk... I think I've got it now! ...Yep, that worked, and then I blasted through this puzzle; can’t wait to try the other couple currently available to me!!
for now, installing new puzzles will override the previously installed puzzle. This obviously isn't ideal, so we're working on changing this is the near future.
Do you have to delete the APK every time you load a new weekly. e.g. delete last week...
Hi Lesley, sorry about that! To unzip the .rar files you will need a 3rd party app like the Unarchiver ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12 ). We unfortunately had to use a split up .rar archive as Patreon restricts attachment size to 200mb. I hope you get it to run, otherwise let us know and we'll send you an unzipped version.
