    So as we all know, gyms usually have a puzzle for you to solve before you're able to challenge the gym leader. It's normally a maze of some sort that you're required to navigate through in order to reach the leader, but they sometimes come in other forms, such as a set of trivia questions, for example.

    So do you enjoy doing the puzzles in gyms? Do you have difficulty with them, or generally find them pretty simple? Are there any that you've found to be particularly difficult? Discuss away!
     
    There's this specific gym in HG that I really hate because of its puzzle. It's the gym in Mahogany town where Pryce the ice type gym leader dwells. I remembered doing this the first time without consulting a walkthrough (because I don't want to use a walkthrough for my first run) and it frustrated the heck out of me. Also, the ice puzzles on Ice Path (which is off topic but frustrating nonetheless) does the same exact frustrating thing for me. I always ended up thinking that I've tried all the combinations but it still didn't worked, only to find out that you need to do this in a certain direction for you to be stopped by a rock or something. It just makes me question my faith to mighty Arceus.

    As for my favorite puzzle, it will be Lumiose City gym. I like how you have to answer questions and move on when you got the correct answer and battle more trainers if you're wrong. It's like a gameshow/gym battle.
     
    I enjoy Quiz Puzzle because we can probably cheat anyway, I mostly hate cracking ice tile puzzle because just wrong step means you would go back to point 1 unless you finish the first part that is fine and it gets harder as per step. Sliding ice is yet another gimmick of brainbustering puzzle.
     
    The Ice gym in X/Y (Snowbelle?) puzzle definitely is my most annoying.

    The one with the spinning sections was also a little irritating not because it was hard it just took time.

    Ugh the Snowbelle one can be so frustrating, sometimes it me 10 or more minutes to figure the first part out
     
    The puzzles are alright, the hardest one for me is still Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald's Sootopolis Gym.

    There are other challenging ones, but not as hard as the Sootopolis one for me.
     
    I had difficulty with Snowpoint City gym puzzle.

    Most of them are easy to figure out, it's just the execution that requires a few tries.
     
    I'm in the same boat as Giovanni, I absolutely hated the Sootopolis Gym puzzle since it made you have to try and work out the best possible way to walk over each tile once, which I'm not good at.
