HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIMBLEWEED PARK! YAY! :delores::franklin::ransome::ray::reyes: Dear community! One year ago Thimbleweed Park was released by the magnificent @RonGilbert and his fantastic team. Until now, there was for me not one day, that I didn’t think about it. The signed box is one of the first things I see in the morning, because my game shelf stands next to my bed, and one of the last things I see in the evening. It’s just so wonderful. Not only the game itself, but the whole aura and drumherum of it. I like the sound and art and community equally. It makes my heart bounce. Even though I consider myself a gamer, I can not say that I play games often. What I enjoy is to read and think and listen about games. Thanks to the sale, I finally got the iOS version and am playing the game for the third and fourth time parallel, one on my Mac with the **unbeeped** Version and one on my phone. So I wondered, how many times did you finish Thimbleweed Park? _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/tell-me-how-often-do-you-play/2503/1))_ ---

Finished thrice. Started, like, 75 😛 my daughter loves to play the intro. ---

That would be a good poll too. I love the starting scene and the intro. The cool sound the train makes and so on… I don’t know how many times I started it. 🙂 ---

Actually I played it 1 and 1/2. 😉 I have started another walkthrough but due to the lack of free time I had to abandon it. But I will definitely play it again (at least twice: With the Ransome DLC and in German). ---

Finished one dozen times. As a player and as a beta tester 😊 ---

That is a lot. I think I haven’t even finished TSoMI as much. And I love it the most. 😮 ---

5 or 6 times. Not really sure. At the very least I did both modes on PC and console each and at least 2 more times easy on PC. ---

> [@Mario](#): > > That is a lot. I think I haven’t even finished TSoMI as much. And I love it the most. 😮 Some people have too much spare time… 😜 But I’ve played Maniac Mansion as a kid countless times. (And it’s a really interesting phenomenon: While I can replay adventure games several times within a short period, I can re-read a book only after a much longer time.) ---

> [@Someone](#): > > I can re-read a book only after a much longer time. I can count on one hand the times I have done that (I really don´t want to most of the time because I don´t the images that I had in my head when reading the first time to change). Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I read twice with a gap of maybe 8 years in between. Stephen King´s Night Shift short story collection I read twice and at the moment I´m reading Lord Of The Rings for the first time in almost 20 years but also because I got the one volume english version now, so it really is a bit like reading it for the first time again. ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > I can count on one hand the times I have done that … Yes, I also did that only for some few books. But on the other hand, I don’t want to replay some adventures too. 🙂 (For example I’m not sure if I would like to replay Future Wars or Operation Stealth…) ---

I re-read countless times only one book, and that is Detektiv Pinky. As a child I returned it to the library only to borrow it again at the same time. The same with some movies. The Blues Brothers for instance, I watched dozens of times. Games not so much as I mentioned in the first post. For me it is more the whole world around it. Reading and listening about it. Looking at screenshots. Remembering the first (and only) play through. ---

Thimbleweed Park is full of citations, jokes and references. It’s worth playing it more than once! Please be sure to check that the “annoying in-jokes” option is turned on. ---

Thimbleweed Park is the Deadpool of PnC videogames. And now with the Ransome uncensored update it is even more so. ![grafik](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/b/be298e3dcf50cc63f11ea262e7dbb08f5d559d81.jpg) _.beep. you, Wolverine!_ ---

All to go in a room that looks the same as in Maniac Mansion, _again_ . This isn’t a good example because AFAIK this was a backer item and it isn’t needed to solve the game. ---

> [@FormosaFalanster](#): > > Seriously, when you have to open the enveloppe in the microwave like you did in Maniac Mansion and in a room that looks exactly the same, it’s not an easter egg, it’s just recycling a very, very old trick. It was a bit weird when I played Maniac Mansion that I was like “hey, I just solved this puzzle in Thimbleweed Park!” But I think it’s supposed to be a self-contained puzzle for newer players and a nod to players who experienced the old games. If I’d played Maniac Mansion then the most difficult puzzle of Thimbleweed Park would’ve been a lot simpler, I suppose. As a non-American, I was convinced I had to find a post office or mailbox.
