Oh no! After getting spooked 👻 by the ominous plaster wall, all of these twists and turns ↪️ ↩️ have got me even more lost in the forest! I sure hope it becomes brighter again soon... 😟 Can you help put me on the right track by figuring out this Meandering Numbers puzzle?

Legend has it that if you follow a path of pebbles labelled 1 to 10 you will be led to the house of an evil witch 🧙‍♀️! Fortunately this puzzle only has regions of size 8 or less, which also means sudoku mode is fair game!

Rules: Place a number into each cell so that each region contains an orthogonally-connected chain of consecutive numbers from 1 to N, where N is the number of cells in the region. Numbers of the same value may not touch one another, not even diagonally.

Snatch a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 2:00 or less!
Pilfer a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 5:00 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle may be gifted with a Turning Tapaculo 🐦
