It was his first attempt, but he was determined to discover the secret, even if he had to go it alone. | ||

Is the game a published game? or a made-up game? Are the other people just facilitating the game? Are the other people playing the game? Is the object of the secret a real item that can be held by the child? Does the child get to keep the object of the secret? Is the word "galaxy" relevant? | ||

Is the boy playing "Super Mario Galaxy"? yes, the secret is in super mario galaxy, but that doesn't solve this lateral puzzle. his first 'attempt' wasn't at playing the game, what was he attempting to do? and what do you make of 'he had to go it alone'? | ||

Was the boy attempting to get all the stars to unlock Luigi? No. Just one. The solution to this puzzle takes place outside of the game - no knowledge of the game is necessary to continue on with this puzzle. | ||

Was he trying to find information about the secret? yes On the internet? yes! Elsewhere? ...feel this is enough to: ************** SPOILER ************* Thought this might be a better puzzle, but... The other day my 7 year old son, who had previously not been allowed on the internet, decided he was going to take it upon himself to get on the computer and try to figure out how to get a star for a level he was stuck in on Super Mario Galaxy 2. He had seen me search for videos on youtube showing how to get stars so he kind of knew what to do. Wife told me he got onto youtube, typed in the level, and was watching the video before we noticed. So.. youtube was the 'guide to the galaxy'. So... now I have him being on the internet to worry about. Thanks for playing, thought it might go longer, but it's tough to answer questions like 'is galaxy relevant?'. It is, but not to the meat of the puzzle. | ||

It was fun. Thanks for the puzzle Visconti. By the way your puzzle became a family affair. I was grilling my kids about secrets in Super Mario Galaxy. |
