Much as enjoy Jack's usual efforts, the writing is all over the place in this one, and the finale is a huge letdown.
Solutions to the puzzles were fairly obvious, apart from one; Googling the nursery rhyme provided the answer.
If anything, I'd say there is a single puzzle, which is guessing the overarching theme. As an adventure, it provides little motivation or interest.
