Rumpelstiltskin's Home For Children is an area in the Distant Woods unlocked when you use a grimstone mask and choose to become a gnome.
This area is a mini-game in which you try to save as many children as possible from their horrible parents.
The mini-game lasts 30 turns, during which time your portal will allow you to visit 5 families. You have 6 turns to gather ingredients (clay, leather and straw) in the village while the portal charges up. Once you have acquired ingredients, you can go to your workshop to craft them into various objects.
When the portal is charged, you may look through it to observe the family's behavior, and then walk into it to open negotiations with the parents. You may barter the things you've collected/crafted for children, if you can guess what the parents will accept.
Crafting
Tinkering in Rumpelstiltskin's Workshop lets you make things that help with general adventuring (potions, consumables, etc.), but these items do not help with the portal mini-game. You can also make advanced materials (glass, filling and parchment) which can greatly increase your mini-game score -- however, you must practice creating these items first.
Each of the three advanced materials requires a number of practice trials (each of which consumes three raw materials) before you get any. Your progress toward these "skills" is saved through ascension.
Rewards
At the end of the mini-game, your score (the number of children saved) earns you rewards:
- mid-level medieval mead (?-4-31-? kids)
- Rümpelstiltz (70-90? Maybe compared to everyone else? Second place in board.)
Your score may also qualify you for the leaderboard in the Museum. The player who is first on the leaderboard at rollover receives a spinning wheel. According to this forum post, you can only earn the leaderboard reward once.
