Thanks Jon for not listening to Small-tool.
Going in.
On level 2.
3. No one is here?
Hmm, stuck at the sticky note.
lebesgue, consult the journal.
thanks Jon, joining in
Hi all, trying this kind of game for the first time.
Uh oh...stuck at level 3. At least I got the hang of it!
WOW ! Nice one !!! Try to finish the others and I will be in this now one, very soon I guess ^^
Stuck on Note. Book isn't helping me.
stuck on four. tried the name of the play, the author's name, nothing. any hints?
I'm in and you won't believe it, already stuck on level 2.
Counted the words in every sentence, but that's not the answer!?
@elise, load the note in a program like irfanview and play with brightness and contrast.
@s-t, think sports, stamps and coins
@small-tool the phone gives you letters, choose the right ones for the answer
hmm will need headphones for 4, there is an audio clip.
ahh, sorry, @s-t, that was a hint for 3) :-)
@missbrasil: click on the radio, it will give you the transcription
Rudi and Chipsi,
Are you really talking about level 2?
Don't see anything about sports, stamps and coins.
And wasn't the phone letters level 1.
Anyway, I guess it's not a good idea to play two riddles in a row. Brain is tired from the previous one.
okay, stuck on 4, nothing in the source that helps, hmm
Thanks Rudi!
Sorry chipsi that was for 5, for 4 search for the text.
@s-t, when you click on the journal, it will give you three "mini-riddles". each one can be solved with a number, akltogether 7 digits.
@Rudi. Your first guess is right, just use the whole name.
Sorry @small-tool no I'm not talking about 2.
Now I'm talking about two. Did you click the journal? there are three hints in it. google each to find the right number. card gives you three, stamp gives you two and coin gives you two.
got 5 now, forgot the leading "the" :-)
Still stuck on 4.
Thanks guys,
On level 3 now.
@missbrasil, it was a big hoax in it's times, put fear in the hearts of many a people...
thanks @faltu
On 7, stuck.
thanks again Rudi, but I'm still working on it...
I know what level 4 is about.
But w..o.t..w..... isn't the answer.
Do I have to look for something else?
The writer?
@s-t, look at my comment from 7:48 :-)
still stuck with that darn tiffany lamp. any clues?
S-t add the at first.
Thanks again Rudi,
Really thought it was spelled without 'the'
Anyway looking at level 5 now.
Rudi, Z*** on the lamp.
Thanks Faltu,
I think I'm on level 6 now.
@faltu, thanks a lot, now my eyesight is failing me, cannot make out all of what there's to see :-)
ha! got it by trial and error!
yay its live and just started...i finally get to play with u..hi chipsi
S-t, Rudi, congrats! 6 is easy, come help at 7, I do not have much time.
Lol zephyr29, you're here.
I just answered you on the other riddle.
Lol Faltu,
How is level 6 easy?
Small-tool it is a virtue, you will have only 2-3 letters fulfilling each conditions, choose the right ones.
hehe @s-t, I'm totally with you. I'm calling that liitle Yogi-bear names already, but none of them fits :-)
Nvm, got level 6.
Just got it Faltu,
but thanks anyway.
got it! be brave, @s-t!
Trying to keep up with you guys, hard to work and play at the same time :) On 6 now.
Bye for today, leave plenty of clues. Good luck!
bye, faltu!
Bye Faltu, see you tomorrow.
No first ideas on level 7 yet.
@s-t, did you find anything distinctive about that quilt?
Ah wait a minute.
What was that alphabet called again?
We used it in other riddles too but I can't remember the name.
stuck on note played with brightness and contrast but c nothing
Ah I remembered again, it's betamaze alphabet.
Now gonna try to convert it.
and purplehell seems to be down again :-(
but anyway, the title says warm in more then one way. maybe only ther warm colours count?
thnx small tool didnt want to miss a live game (i so rarely manage to catch one)so quit tht for now :)
@s-t, got it, it's not quite from russia w... l...
And on level 8 now.
@zephyr, keep playing, the result will be white and hard to see, but it's there
Are we looking at braille on level 8?
don't think so, but look at the dots on the pictures and the dots in the book, only one pattern matches...
Rudi,
I really think it's braille.
You have to put the pictures on the right places in the book (according to the text hints and what the baby is doing) and then you have 2 columns and 3 rows and that's braille format.
@s-t, guess you're right, didn't pay enough attention to the kids themselves - well, I never do :-)
Yep, on level 9 now.
You need to anagram after you got the letters on level 8.
yeah, got it as well, wasn't looking forward to life enough :-)
thnx rudi looking at the quilt now
@s-t, got to go, have to catch a train, will be back tomorrow, guess you and all the others will be through by then. have fun!
And where are Chipsi and Faltu now?
Those evil girls dragged me into this riddle while I wanted a break after finishing the previous one.
Anyway, again no first ideas on level 9.
Bye Rudi, see you tomorrow.
Maybe a good moment now to take a little break too.
back for an hour. Could need a little nudge on 7. I know betamaze and I have puple hell. Are the white things on the quilts the code? If so how did you find out the right one, it seems that nothing matches with the betamaze?
@s-t help on 7 plz the quilt u said something abt betamaze but dont know wht to transalate
hey guys im trying to play this game but not getting the concept i have tried to convert the numbers in level 1 to the letters in the dials but not getting the answer help plz
Chipsi,
Yep the white shapes are the betamaze shapes, but it's not on the original picture. Click on the bottom part to see the picture with the code.
oh, totally missed that. thanks small-tool!
thnx small-tool! i missed tht too!!
hi chipsi finally caught up with u on this one
You're both welcome.
There was a hint in the text about that there was something special with the bottom one.
It seems you have to pay attention to a lot of things in this riddle.
Not really playing very focused right now, just a bit looking around, but can't find the way to take steps on level 9.
Waiting there for you two.
Hi Guys.. I am still stuck on level 40 of the previous riddle. can anyone give me a nudge. I think I am suppose to convert a date (1324??) into roman numerals? Help!
Nour,
Highlight the whole page to see extra numbers that will help you to convert the phone number into letters.
Hi EnJoy,
Not a date.
There are numbers on the picture (hard to see, use Gimp or Photoshop) they refere to previous levels.
Do the math with the answers from those 2 levels and then the roman numeral thing.
yes i did that i got defdad1 :S not the answer
Ok. I am on level 13 and 24.. will work on it.
got it.. thanks small-tool. glad I bookmarked those levels.
Hi zephyr, missed you on the last one.
Nour,
The first number is 2 and that's ABC
The first number in the hidden hint is 3,
So the letter to pick is the third, the C.
Do that with all the numbers.
Congrats EnJoy.
And like you see, no time for a break. Need you here on this riddle.
Thanx smalltool :)
Any idea for 9? source says to ignore the heart.
For level 9.
I think the hints are;
- the colours of the legs of the sheep (probably about on what letter to start).
- The title (four steps)
- The source (ignore the heart)
- And probably the radio text, but that's so much and complicated (at least for me it is right now; shouldn't be drinking so early and on a weekday, but it's my holiday).
Anyway completely stuck.
Well for god's sake.. I am stuck on level one! (phone) am I use to use the hidden numbers and convert to letters or the phone number of the shop?
@enjoy use the shop number only
Enjoy the first number gives you three letters on the phone the hidden one tells you which of the three to choose.
got it.. have to also use the hidden numbers on the shop numbers.
Thanks Zephyr
oh thts how its done i just used purple hell phonespell i think its called allows u to enter digits and gives u words
for future use any phone number to letter co verter the tool on purplehell is telephone keypad codes
wonder if the radio commentary is a clue for 9
Anyone here? Me is having a dumb day. Stuck on lvl 3! :D
Have played w/ brightness/contrast but can't get a word of what I'm seeing.
POP!
okie looks like im the only one here and officially stuck so bye for today c u all tomorrow :)
is any one still here? i am still stuck on 9... can someone give me a clue how to solve it?
Hope everyone is enjoying the riddle.....guess what?? ;)
Actually, at 6 without pbs find all I need... 6 seems less simple though Ô_o
I'm stuck in 8. Got all letters but anagraming isn't working
for 6 click on the bottom of the picture, for 8, after translating to braile, just go up and down across for the answer
what jon? and can you give a hint for 9?
nvm! lvl 9 now.
Well Nini will help with lvl9....I am busy preparing the next riddle....don't thank me all at once!! ;) :D
LOL jon! Well.. I won't be much of a help cuz my brain melted on the last riddle and now I'm just super tired. But I can try! :)
Maybe if we start counting at the coloured letter and stop after moving 4 steps? (ignoring the middle heart) So J => N ?
Robin what about the riddle under the toy? because I have nothing to click Ô_o try to use A------ after some elimination but nothing work.
Ha lvl 10!!!!
Silmarwen the teddy name is a virtue.
What do u need to go bungee-jumping?
Just back and what do I see; Nini solved level 9 of course.
Great, but how?
s-t do what I said previously but notice what way sheeps are heading
I see Nini, but how do you know where to start?
nini..... a clue for 9 please :) been stuck here for quite a while
Example : blue-feet sheep is heading right. So starting from C (blue) go right 4 steps and u'll end up in Y. Do that w/ all coloured letters but go left w/ yellow. Then anagram.
Got it Nini.
Thanks, you're amazing.
Looking at 10 now.
Tried ROT in 10 but no luck. And WTH is that audio piece?
Lol, ROT is the first thing I tried too.
And nothing in the pic properties, nothing in exif and nothing in the source. And as far as I could see nothing in the picture zoomed in or manipulated.
Guess we have to do it with the info from all the text.
I can see the word "log" near the middle of the letter chain but guess that's nothing.
cant figure out lvl 5, tried the place and the name of the ittem
Wait a minute, I just noticed the level title.
Wasn't that some kind of code?
But I have a hard time to open Purple Hell somehow.
Solar Guardian,
The letters (the answer) are on the picture, just zoom in.
Maybe it has something to do w/ the pic name?
And now I could open Purple Hell, but for the code you also need a key word or key letter. No idea what that could be.
That's it Nini. The keyword is the pic name.
But that's not yet the answer.
i still cant get it right, tryed the tiny letters but its always 404
working on that too s-t.
the fill in the blank man finds no easy chair
lol!
found six letters but they dont work
got it, thx a lot
lol got it! "fill in the blank"
Yep Nini,
That's what I found too, but it isn't the answer and no idea how to go on from that.
?
Nini?
Tried mr. Cross, but no go!?
s-t google "man finds no easy chair " and complete the saying.
Thanks again Nini, but still Aargh.
Found the saying. Tried a lot of things, like whole saying and only the missing part, but still no go!?
should i use google translator on level 6?
Thanks Amazing Nini,
Tried that before, but probably made a typo, my keyboard is getting old.
Btw, maybe better delete that post.
what's lvl 6? xD
Already deleted. Was just waiting for u. :)
Now help me on 11! Found every letter but Z. And what about the cat?
nm
Nope Solar Guardian.
It's a kind of a logic game.
Focus on the red words and eliminate letters.
You still end up with more letters for the first, second, third etc. letter of the answer, but with the hint virtue you'll be able to find out what the word is.
Found something! Now u see it now u don't is a game from cat in the hat.
Can I jump in here with you guys?
Note the clue for a number in the journal, think about the games where you spot the differences in the pic and find those, click those spots
problem is... I've only found 5
Oh! I was overthinking. Thx Neeceeree.
Found 4 differences so far
Found 6.
Found 7 but we need 8.
I'm still stuck at 5. lol
lvl 12!
Have u found the one in the chair? Pic right side? Hat?
I see it now but it looks like a book.
did you see the missing vase.
Yep got it (found two exta letters on my own, but thanks for the third one Nini).
Btw how did you know we needed 8?
And welcome (and thanks) Neeceeree.
the journal says so.
lol...players modding their own forum....that's new ;)
S-T you have different letters from me! But I don't have the answer yet...8 letters but no lvl11
The notebook gave the hint.
12 may take me a little longer, lol
I gotta go. Good luck to u guys and don't forget to leave me big hints!
See u later.
Yep Jon,
That's us, very responsible posters.
(and my letters were correct).
And of course, at first sight, no idea about level 12.
Bye, bye Riddle Queen.
I use to do the type puzzles in 12 a lot, needed a big grid for those.
Well, for 12 there's some extra info in the source, but it's only about how to solve such a logic game.
And if you highlight the page there are already numbers in the boxes in the table.
I had not even noticed the grid already at the bottom, I was drawing out a more elaborate one. lol
what do i do with letter from lvl 7?
ooh a riddle been on holiday
for a week are we still live
Solar Guardian,
Letter from 7!?
All you have to do there is picking up 12 letters (converting with betamaze) from the second picture.
And those letters make a sentence, and that's the answer.
Bigtank!!!
Glad you're back, hope you had a great holiday.
And yep it's very much alive.
And you missed another riddle posted here (I will fail) just yesterday. But it seems Jon is gonna torture us with a new riddle every second day, so be prepared.
. yes i had a great time. did a bit of boogie boarding in cornwall.gonna look at the other one . seems you have all finished now. have we got the full team here
I'm still stuck on 12. Does anyone know exactly how many levels are in this one? Hoping this is the last one.
ok may have a look at this tomorrow just got back .
Nope, not the whole gang, Bigtank.
It seems like at the moment it's Jon, Neeceeree, Solar Guardian and You and Me.
But some great riddlers like Faltu, Nini and Chipsi (and new guys like Rudi and others I forgot to mention) are playing too, but not right now.
Anyway, don´t think I can do level 12 right now (the usual reason), but still have a question+
What to do with persons like Brice and Maria who receive a gift=
checked over and over again, translated and got no sentence
i will mail mk ganda or facebook her get her onboard
I don't seem to have the time to play these games, only have the time to post them and annoy fellow riddlers....will help when I can...
Solar Guardian,
Gonna delete this again;
If you do the betamaze conversion on the second picture (by clicking the bottom of the first picture) you get;
SWL
EIO
WTV
NHE
And that's the answer;
sewnwithlove
Let me know when I can delete.
sorry, english is not my best language, never heard about that first word
lol....small-tool....leave it....it is an old riddle. leave the spoiler :)
everyone still stuck on 12? i read the program on radio, has to do with a computer but still dont get it...:(, anyone come up with anything new?
Lol Jon,
That's a lame excuse. Something like the hangman telling the victim; Sorry, it's just my job.
Just kidding. Happy with all those riddles, but like I said many times before; I'm an escaper not a riddler, but somehow it's addicting.
But still, missing a lot of fun games with those riddles (like the new Selfdefiant and GotMail).
Solar Guardian,
Not my first language as well, but I think it's the past participle of 'sew' (or is it past tense, Jon knows, he's some kind of Brittish language purist - again just kidding).
Anyway Jon, you mean; not delete that comment.
And any, anyway not getting furhter with 12 this way. Maybe I better go to c-box with all those crap I post right now.
SelfDefiant has to be the ultimate creator of escapegame genre at the moment and I love his games, all hail SD!! Gotmail games are great as are Tesshi, Robamimi, Sakura, Tomatea, Jans Room, and all the others......but a riddle keeps me playing for days....not minutes. (That's not a challenge SD....your EG's are the biggest since Dreamhouse....I don't fancy another of those soon!)
Want real punishment: http://www.escapegames24.com/2009/06/dream-house-escape.html
Aargh I still can't figure out how to do level 12.
Having big problems with the receivers of presents.
Do I have to make an extra column in my grid/table for receivers?
And suppose I figure out what's where in the grid/table, how does that lead me to an answer.
And yes Jon, I know I spelled 'British' wrong again.
I'm also wondering how solving this logic puzzle is going to give us the answer to move on. The grid table should be much, much bigger.
Nvm.
The fourth (or fifth, depends on how you read it) column is of course the recipient of gifts.
Well, I think it's about time to post for newbies.
This game has almost 200 comments. So later comments will be on the next page.
Use the link 'new-' or 'newest comments' (bottom right on this page) to get there.
Hi, back again, lvl 11 was funny now let me have a look on 12
Gonna look at it again tomorrow.
But it feels like I'm missing information to solve the grid.
Is there extra info somewhere else?
Like now it seems I can only find 5 occasions (there should be 6, right?);
- Promotion
- Anniversary
- Retirement
- Birthday
- Graduation
And in the same way I can only find 5 recipients;
- Brice
- Rebecca
- Maria
- Flynn
- Carlson
Anyway, that will be tomorrow.
Bye for now.
