You're welcome E-Addict, I'm off for the night, good luck :)
Congratulations, E Presto. I'm very happy you did it. And I mean it sincerely. I'm a little late but I'll play it of course. I've been waiting for this. :) Everyone, please, stay around to give me a hand.
Stuck on 8, Cannot dance anymore.
I think i know how to dance backword and forwards, but the letters are not making any good word :(
Hello again .. early for some work and some levels actually :-) .. 10 now .. @Faltu dance with answers !
and btw Em the dancing lesson was just mean enough ! ;-)
" OH TSK!!!! I keyed in all 4 words - DOH!!! TY " .. @ Cee Bee ..what decoder one is supposed to use to decipher this hint ? lol i give up for now .. had to get back to bed as quick as possible ..
I'm still stuck on level 4.
Is it an anagram of TNIRO?
Peggy, 2 of your letters are right, you must pick the ones that come just after ME
E Addict, have you felt 10 yet?
Despite what Leo Sayer sang...it appears that NO, i cant dance. Ive tried facing the way im dancing, simply dancing per instructions, and another method which was so brilliant that i cant even remember what i did. I have blisters. May i have a mega-hint please?
Hi Clio :) in this dance you need to remember how you got where you are!
alcohol and cheating from the brainiacs mostly. Is it related to the last answer?
hahaha! This is all about retracing your steps, so you'll probably need more than the last answer ;)
I hate me, and you're not too popular either...LOL. Note to other players, do NOT write your shopping list on the other side of the paper on which you have kept your notes/answers and after shopping chuck the paper away. *sigh*
LOL Clio, I'd say that's good advice you're giving there!!!
and ...I have danced into the next level. Thanks EPresto, for a VERY good hint.
Stuck (yet again oh-um) on the 2nd part of 10. Tried counting etc. but nothing is making sense so far. Hint please.
If you got the egg on 10, now you know the value of the buttons!
Yes, so I've tried:
Straight convert
Count/multiply/convert
Count/multiply/add/convert - that got me a word that didn't work
Still stuck (:
Count and convert should get you there
oh wait, I just read your post again, add and convert might work better
I think I'm more confused than ever - LOL!!
I've counted, added, converted ad nauseum - not sure what to count add or convert anymore - LOL!!
LOL Cee Bee, sorry I'm being very unclear! You know how you decode first time? Each compartment of the drawer was a letter? Well that still applies. So it's about adding every compartment then converting
You're not being unclear EPresto, it's me missing the obvious - as I always do!! I tried it every way, but by compartment - arghhh! LOL!!
I sometimes wonder why I do these - I'm hopeless at them, I overthink all the time and must drive you developers crazy with my stupid questions :)
HAHA Cee Bee, I hope you play them because you enjoy them! And you're not driving anyone mad! The game was made to be finished, however many questions need to be asked!
Thank you for your patience.
I do enjoy them, although there must be a masochistic streak in me as I end up driving myself mad and have a sore head by hitting it on any object I can find every time a light bulb goes on!
LOL, you're nearly there!
good morning all, have managed to get up to 11 and stuck again, any hints E-Presto? enjoying this puzzle very much E, congratulations .
I'm happy you're enjoying it rds! You need a code here. What did it say about chickens?
Hello again .. well Em you don't have to thank me for playing it , for i'm not being social playing it lol i'm not enjoying it i wouldn't have kept trying .. so Thank you ..
and Not Really a Braille ?!! lol well you just stumped me here i cant even say i'm a beginner .. and i mean i just checked braille on another level !! was looking for color codes :-) but well i managed to solve the second part all by myself .. so this would make you proud of me right ? lol i'm still a beginner after all ! ;-)
now for 11 .. image searching led me to ' our top hen ' and a writer .. am i on the right track here ?
Well done E-Addict! you are doing very well! for 11 look at my post 8:51
Aaaaarrrrggghhh! My first thoughts as i awoke this morning were about this game! And I STILL didn't figure it out!!!
am i looking for 7 letters and is it anagrammed Em on 11?
Peggy! in the little sentence under picture : look at the letters that come directly after the letters M&E
The only 'me' I see is at the end of time, therefore, as per your instructions, the five letters would be thoug. That doesn't work, ought, tough, ghout.... all don't work.
Previously you said to follow "EM", so backwards would be itata. That doesn't work, neither do variations.
Is there another ME I'm not seeing?
I have to go, back in a couple of hours :) good luck
Peggy M and E lol not ME !
had to go as well .. please leave some hints for 11 .. and for 12 for sure .. some hints and not some riddle hints !
and Em .. i was tired as well lol when looking at the Really Braille .. i mean it was 4 AM maybe .. :
I definitely am better at escape games than riddle games, as you well know, EAddict and EPresto.
Ok, the only 'm's I see on the ENTIRE page are in the title and in the word 'time'. EPresto said 5 letters. Excluding the 'e' in 'time', there is an 'e' at the end of 'one' which is 5 letters away. That would make the letters 'atati' which I've already tried and anagrammed.
I'm hopeless at these, I know.
Maybe if you whisper the answer to me, no one else will hear.
Peegy ( whispering ) : the one time order .. now follow !
lol sorry Peggy !
I take a break and see all the players have changed when I come back. I think I know what code to use on 11, but haven't had any luck yet with what I've tried to convert, so looking for help.
@Peggy: there are 4 E's and one M in the sentence - look at what follows them
on 11 am i looking for seven letters from samuel? or have i been on the wrong track for the last hours? haha
I'm using the same code rds, so if you're on the wrong track so I am LOL!
i don't understand .. is image googling needed or is it all on the page itself ?
@E-Addict: What don't you understand?......... Do you know what code to use?
i didn't ask for a question Cee Bee ! :-) i don't understand where to start actually and what exactly i'm looking for ..
if we are on the right track then it has nothing to do with the image except her description of it.
Sorry! Just trying to clarify what you need. I haven't completed 11, so don't know what we're looking for yet. I think I know the code to use - got that by the hints in the text.
lol Got It ! decipher the text itself !
You're on the right track for 11. Use it on the poem
Cee Bee .. just imagine the text is not actually a text .. lol .. does this make any sense to you ?
Thanks for the riddle Em :) I had fun with it.
Lol and thank for making fun of me. Will get you back in my new riddle :P
i have been trying that, but I must be off some how, not coming up with anywords . only 7 letters correct?
i'm awful at giving hints i know it .. just use the code mentioned on the text itself .. only one line is a little bit tricky !
the text is the code to be decoded .. each line represents a letter !
Hi! I came back, and I have not needed help until I reached level 10. Its not braille... Now I need help. I look at the colors I have counted, separated ... and nothing
Yep, only 7 letters and it's no anagram.
Think syllables to see the difference between d and d
hey Pichi .. it is braille .. ( 3 words needed ) !
ty , was looking at length instead of syllables ... got it
PHEW!! I've been trying to do that for ages too!!! Even with all your hints, I can't see one letter, let alone 7 (:
I do not understand, I've got 4 words that say it is not ...
Got egg page!
last 3 Pichi ..
and Cee bee I thought you are a riddler ! :-) .. if the text is the code itself what the in could be for instance ? awful again ? lol
@E-Addict: HAHAHA!! I wish I was a riddler, then I wouldn't get stuck so often - LOL!!
got it now ?
Nope!! (:
there's nothing more i can do but to whisper it to you as well lol .. ok first line if ' in 'is a dot ' about ' would be ? lol that's all i can think of ..
write each line of the poem as "samuel" did, go by syllables cee bee, you will end up with 7
had to go for a while .. leave some hints for 12 Cee Bee ! :-)
did that help cee bee? or do you need a little more?
Well guys, I'm still not getting this and I'm getting frustrated!!!
I've read & read all the hints yet still don't know to translate the poem properly. I don't see why ' in 'is a dot ', so 'about' could be either d or d. If I've understood all you've told me, I guess the first letter is either A or I - but I can't see why (:
CeeBee, did you see small-tool's hint at 10:39 AM? that's what finally helped me.
@rbud57: Yes I did - I've read all the clues over & over - nothing is helping this dense head of mine right now (:
Thanks for trying to help.
Cee Bee, the chickens are DOTty and DASHing, do you know what code is needed? 1 syllable=d** 2 syllables=d***
you have the first one cee bee, now do the next one
TY Em!!!!! Sorry you had to spell it out for me. I knew the code, but didn't know how to apply even with all the previous hints.
YAY! Cee Bee, and don't be sorry!
yay cee bee, any clues on 12?
On 12 the most important clue is in the title.
In lvl 11 I've read the hints. and I wonder: if more than two syllables, then it would be?
The same as 2 syllables Pichi, but there shouldn't be more than 2
Thanks small-tool, got it, thank you again Epresto for the game, it was good.
Oh My! Oh My! After all my problems on 11, I did 12 all by myself :)
Thank you so much for putting this together Em - As you are well aware I got stumped many times, but I had fun!!
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope there will be another one!
Congrats too rds & tanks for the help along the way to all who gave it.
tanks = thanks LOL!!
...and also DONE! Lovely riddle! thanks so much for all the help along the way. I really enjoyed it, and needed one like this to help wake up my rusty riddling brain.
hap-pe-ned=3 this is more than two
rbud, thanks so much for all the compliments ;-), I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
I need help on 11 I do not understand what the syllables
Pichi : happened is 2 syllables : hap-pened do you know what code to use?
code is m***e
yes Pichi, and you know how to apply to the words?
I think that become a m***e and then translated
yes. so if 1 syllable then it's a d**, if it's more then it's a d****
each line is a letter
Yes Epresto, I understand all that, but I do not get the right word
Thanks Epresto I was wrong the fourth and last
You're nearly there Pichi! :)
I need 12 tracks, I know the title is important, but ... that I?
It's similar to level 4
is something to shade the text? sorry I do not remember now 4
Level 4 was FOLLOW ME
this is something with the colors, to choose a few letters or words?
words
Yeaaaaaahh!! Thanks Epresto! I'm done, but without your help and that of others, I would not have gotten. Congratulations again for the game, I hope the next, you're great!
I forgot, from Molly lena: congratulations and they will encourage you to do for other riddle!
Thank you Pichi and Molly, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! And I hope I will make another one!
We hope! but remember that Molly and I do not know speak English, so we ask that no levels difficult to spell or similar.
(this is "almost" a joke) haha
hahaha Pichi, I will try to remember!
Stuck on level 10. I have that it is not Braille and see that it is but I can't get the egg. I am having a dumb day!
LinG, this isn't an easy level. Try reading what you've deciphered in a different way. If it says "Its not" it also says "Its"
For some reason I am not seeing it.
ok back to 12 .. it's supposed to be easy after the hint but .. it's not working !
finished at last !!!
Thank you very very much Em for that great game !!!!!
I truly! really! enjoyed it !!!
time for me to listen to the song !!!
I hope you ll make another one soon !!!
never mind !
have you done it E-addict ?
LinG, you need 3 of the words you deciphered
E Addict, does your "never mind" imply you don't need help anymore?
Thanks EPresto. I'm on the egg now. I had tried every combo, of course, except the right one. Perhaps I need more coffee!
Thanks Em .. Absolute Fun .. all the way through .. and actually this is the most well balanced riddle for non riddlers i ever tried .. of course with all the help specially by Donas .. so again thanx Donas .. and again i liked the colors chosen and the background as well !
and no it has no nonsense at all in it .. nonsense is actually when you have a set of numbers that are supposed to be a cipher and you try to google all possible ciphers related to them for hours to then find out later that oh no you just had to pick out one number and continuously divide it by 9 .. why ? because you just saw nine stars somewhere around ! lol wth ..
anyway 1 or 2 Em riddles per month would be ok for me ! :-)
:) yay LinG!
Well I'm really pleased you enjoyed it E Addict, and as I've already said, I hope I will make another one at some point :) Now it's my bedtime so goodnight everyone, or good morning or good afternoon!
help please anyone on level 3, I did what the earlier hints said and looked carefully even highlighted but still cant figure it out
ger, when you highlight, look at the final two words on the 2nd? or 3rd line. You will see the difference. That is what you need.
thank you clio will do
clio is it g** s**** or I s*** my blasted eyesight is not seeing anything, think I need new glasses
sorry ger. It is the last two words on the 1st line. Use CtrlA, and those two words will change into one word.
brilliant thank you clio, very clever lol
Even after reading the hints, I still have no idea what to do on lvl 12. May I have a mega-hint please?
Hey Clio! You need to look at the words which are where the title says they should be! haha totally unclear hint!
yayyyyy!!....you are correct..that is a totally unclear hint!..lol
All i notice is the final colour missing....as for anything else, ive looked at words before, after, under, over, in between.
Im feeling silly, because ive been on this level for hours. hahha. (popularity rating going down again, EPresto!!...HAHAHHAHA)
HAHAHA, maybe that's a good sign! Means it's not too easy! lol
over should have worked! never mind about the missing colour, just means the sentence isn't very long!
Finished. Thank you Em. The last level after solving, raised YOUR popularity and lowered mine...hahhaha. That was very enjoyable, and I hope you make more. Thank you once again.
Can someone please post a walkthrough for me.
Still stuck on level 2!
Joe, I don't have time to write a walkthrough right now but for level 2 : the words: singular, pack, down, pride, litter have a bold first letter. If you google these words togther, you will find they are animal collective nouns. The text says you need a name for the kittens, so it means you need a collective noun for kittens.
http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Pointless/AnimalGroups.html
I hope this helps. I will try to write a walkthrough when I get the time.
Thanx EP
I actually managed to figure it out
Knew all the words and theme but could not figure out the solution then Flash... it clicked
Am now stuck on level 5
Nice job
cant believe its your first one!
Hi Joe M. With lvl 5, i had to feel my way because i could not see how to solve it. Luckily, there is a special alphabet for that.
Thanx Clio rose
Got it now
Keep stuck on each level
will work till I get it
Am now on level 7
Finally found the cipher decoder
Stuck on 7
Working on it
Just stopping by to give a big thank you to Em for her riddle, I really enjoyed it, level 10 was a beauty lol.
I hope you go on to create some more in the same vein.
Oh, and thanks to all the posters who gave help, by God I needed it at times!!
@Joe, if you're still stuck on 7, try using MS Paint, it's a pain, but worthwhile when you get the answer :-D
I've been waiting for days for a walkthrough because I'm too embarrassed to admit I'm still stuck on level 5.
Everyone refers to the braille alphabet which I have gone over many times. But I still get
-, o, m, z, backwards t, r, and y
What am I not seeing? (pun intended)
@Peggy, If I give the first letter and explain why it should help. As has been said by earlier posters, treat the numbers as co-ordinates.
The first letter is C, you get that by using a cartesian graph thingy.
So, to get C you go 1 along and 3 up, then 2 along and 3 up. If that was represented by a 2x3 grid, where would the dots go?
I hope that's not too much...
Rambler, thank you sooooooooo much.
I was using the graph the wrong way. I was starting from the top, not the bottom.
Excellent :-D
Sometimes even the most brilliant minds are dulled!
I still haven't had time to post a walkthrough, I'm sorry. But I'm so pleased people are still playing! Do not hesitate to ask for help, and to give the biggest hints you think are necessary.
Thanks Rambler for helping and for posting, I'm really happy you enjoyed it, and I am very much encouraged to make another. So a big "you're welcome" to you!
Thank you Joe M and Peggy, for persevering even when you're stuck.
In fact I'd like to thank everyone who played, and everyone who posted, whether to share their thoughts or to help others, or ask for hints, it just brings the game to life, and I think it's most of the fun. The actual riddle shouldn't get so much credit!
@Em, don't be so modest, the Riddle was great, that's why you got such a reaction, more power to you.
Thanks Rambler :-)
actually i agree with Rambler .. i liked everything in it .. the story as well :-) .. and by the way i was thinking of making one but now forget it .. you just raised the bar !
EP
I will persevere through to the end
The nice thing about a WT is that it will help those of us in the future who can then backtrack so we dont suffer @ the next one.
By the way thanx for all your help on E Addict6s games
it was fun playing with you
looking forward to more
i totally agree Joe .. it's difficult to find riddles with walkthroughs and some explanations like in escape games and this is weird .. you usually find just some hints you basically never even heard of so you just get frustrated and quit !
and by the way on 7 keep in mind a letter would turn upside down if done correctly !
Walkthrough: This walkthrough contains explanations and partial answers for all levels.
Level 1
The clue is in the text : I’ll need to get equipment first, and leave food till last. This means that when you go through the list if it's food take the last letter, if not take the first letter. This spells out a sentence : The answer is *******. You must therefore type "*******" in the answer box.
Level 2
5 words are written slightly differently (their first letters are bold) : singular, pack, down, pride, litter. If you google these words together, you will find they are all animal collective nouns. The text says the kittens need a name, you are therefore looking for a collective noun for kittens. Depending on which site you go to, you might have to try a few.
Level 3
Here there is no clue in the text, because it's a basic riddling trick. When you can't find anything, look for what you can't see (some people may even say it's one of the first things you must do when you get to a new level) : ctrl+A will select everything on the page, revealing two hidden letters in the first line : h and g. These letters are not randomly placed; with the "not" and "in" they form a word. This word is the answer to this level.
Level 4
The picture is just a red herring. This level has nothing to do whatsoever with binary. It's all in the title : "follow me" means you need to pick the letters which come just after the letters M and E in the text. You get : W, A, E, T, R. The text says they will not be in the right order, which means you need to anagram.
Level 5
These are indeed coordinates. They show you where to place dots in 2x3 grids. Each line is a grid, so each line is a letter in braille. After translating, you get a word, which is the answer to the level.
Level 6
This level uses the Gronsfeld cipher. The key is the flight number in the text "170585". After decoding you get a sentence and the answer is the last word of that sentence.
Level 7
The picture is called "turn round", indicating that you must turn the whole picture 90°, following the instructions in the text, ie Left, Left, Right, Left. After each turn, the letters will slide around on the picture. See what happens to each letter after each rotation, and in the end you'll be left with the letters "O, O, N, S, M". Note that because the letters also rotated the W became M (at the end the picture is upside down). Anagram, and you get the answer.
Level 8
You will need previous answers to solve this level. Going back or forward tells you which level you need (the steps tell you how to count) and going right or left tells you which letter to pick (the steps once again tell you how many to count). Proceeding in this way, you should get one word which is the answer.
Level 9
You need to form a word using the 3 sentences I heard. So each sentence gives you one or more letters. The first sentence says "she was beheaded". So take the first letter off "she" and that leaves you "he". The second sentence has a mistake you need to correct. You can't say "eated", you must say "ate". The last sentence is just the letter R. Put them all together and you have the answer.
Level 10
Recognize the 2x3 grids? Yes it's braille again! But when you translate, it says "It's not really braille". So you need something else. Take the sentence literally, and it's saying "It's "not really braille"" . So type in "notreallybraille" and you get to an egg. This egg tells you how to decode each grid. Each colour has a value so add the buttons together in each grid and then translate to letters (1=A; 2=B; etc). You get "It's old mother hubbard". So once again take it literally and you have the answer.
Level 11
The clue is the picture. What's so important about those chickens? The picture and the poem tell you they are "DOTty, and DASHing". Which code or alphabet uses dots and dashes? Morse, of course. The text tells you it sounds better out loud. That is because of the number of syllables in each word. 1 syllable= dot; 2 syllables = dash. Each line is a letter. But then you had probably already guessed the answer, because I'm sure it's the first thing you thought after reading the poem ;-). Only kidding!!!
Level 12
This level is quite similar to level 4. The clue is the title. "Somewhere over the rainbow" means pick words (rather than letters this time), which are just above the colours in the text. By doing this you get a sentence, and the answer is the last word of that sentence.
I hope this walkthrough is satisfactory, please don't hesitate if you would like further explanations, or a walkthrough with answers.
Joe, I very much enjoy the teamwork on E Addicts games and I too am looking forward to the next one!
