several tries later, I got it, I just waited longer after time warping my builder before I dropped her on the challenge.

Nothing. Just catch him and then start him off on the challenge. Just don't try to start the challenge THEN give him the

I honestly think there is a bug with this puzzle. No matter what I try this is not working.

Just like the others I am having trouble with my master builder running off after starting the challenge and you can't put them back because now the challenge needs to be reset. I have tried 3 times with 3 different master builders. I am using the time warp on them before starting, grabbing them when they warp away, then putting them on the challenge where they start then run off.

We have been unable to reproduce this on any of our test computers - it works first try every time for us. In order to analyze this situation, we would need to know exactly how to reliably make it happen and would appreciate any insights anyone can provide into how to recreate this.

I wish I knew how it was happening so I could do the opposite frown

Please tell me if my method is sound to make SURE its not just me.

I have ALL tech researched. This is my last necklace piece. All totems are down. Everything is built. 2 blue Heathens left, should convert sometime today. I am using master builders, my first try was with a Jack of All Trades, but he has since died. I am waiting for the purple builder to be in his area, then bringing my villager over and placing him/her nearby. Once I am ready, I use the power on the villager and grab him/her as soon as I can and place him/her on the challenge. My villager starts the challenge, but then leaves to do other things and I am right back at square one.
Does it seem like I am doing everything I should be doing? I honestly can't figure out where I am going wrong if this is an error on my part.

You have all the right steps in the right order. This may be a case of timing and certain conditions not being exactly right at the moment you start the task. Have you clicked on the heathen master to see what he or she is doing before you start? Have you tried not being so quick at putting your builder on the task after using the TW?

The last try I checked him first and he was "staring into space" and I also tried waiting a bit longer. I am going to go see if I am recharged enough to try again now, if not I will try again when i get home from "park day" (homeschool) tonight.

Nope, not enough energy to try now. Will try this evening when I return home.

Well, the heathen is doing the right thing, as well. We many need to have you (or someone) try a few times, noting what the heathen does throughout the attempt, as well as what your builder's actions are. Sometimes these are very tricky things to diagnose.

OK I have a few extra minutes, just changed game speed to 'fast' so I should have enough to try in a few minutes. I will record the results and post them. I bet it will work, lol
