Can we give straight answers here to help each other or only hints?
ReplyDeleteNormally with these kind of games they say;
Please do not post direct answers.
But I can't see that here?
need help with level 3
ReplyDeleteview->page source
ReplyDeleteok. got to level 3 but now i'm stuck.
ReplyDeleterazelberrie,
ReplyDeleteThis a common thing in riddle games.
You have to go (on your toolbar) to 'view' and there you can click 'source' to see some programming and sometimes the answer like now.
braggart.htm doesn't load for me...
ReplyDeleteand then do what?
ReplyDelete@small-tool you are playing these kind of games?
ReplyDeleteand then do what?
ReplyDeleteEgle, not that much, but there are no other games right now.
ReplyDeleterazelberrie, the answer is in green. Copy that word and put it in the web-adress bar on the place of level 2.
I don't see a green answer. My words are red, brown and blue
ReplyDeleteAny help with lvl 8? I changed the image but I don't know what to search for. Tried the numbers in Google but I got nothing special.
ReplyDeletethanks small-tool. but now what about level 4. lol
ReplyDeletea hint on level 4 please?
ReplyDeleteZoe,
ReplyDeleteAre you on level 3? There is in line 8 in the source the answer in green.
@small-tool ahh i asked, cause i am playing one online team riddling game. One riddle per week, i just love it, quite different from this one though. http://invasion.cleverwasteoftime.com/contact/index.php?action=forum if u are interested :)
ReplyDeleteStuck on level 4 too.
ReplyDeleteWhich one was the lvl 4?
ReplyDelete@Lia, level 4 was "Computer Talk".
ReplyDeleteAh found level 4.
ReplyDeleteYou need to translate that binary number in text.
pop, thanks @small-tool.
ReplyDeleteI am still at lvl 8, if anyone gets there and can give me a hint.
ReplyDelete@Lia, I think we need your hints first then, lol. What to do in level 5, "Come to the dark side..."?
ReplyDeletestuck on 5. i suck at this. lol
ReplyDeleteWell Lia,
ReplyDeleteYou could give me a hint for level 5 (brick wall) with the two lamps on the wall.
@razelberrie, you are not the only one! :)
ReplyDeleteIn the source there is; we hold the answer.
ReplyDeleteIf i remember right, at lvl 5 you have to get rid of the pic first. Go to the htm that is around the pic. (view source)
ReplyDeleteI still don't find the answer for level 4. Where are the separators ? We need them to translate the binary code.
ReplyDeleteGive me the url of lvl 5 so i can go with you step by step
ReplyDeletelvl 5, look for a hidden text below the image. drag your mouse.
ReplyDeletepop! find the #.htm in "source", and when you have a blank page, find the #.htm from "source" there to get too the next level.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.roubaixinteractive.com/PlayGround/Binary_Conversion/Binary_To_Text.asp for lvl 4
ReplyDeleteyw peewee
ReplyDeletePascale, you can just copy the code in binary field of http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ and press decode.
ReplyDeleteand now stuck on level 6. Moving ahead with babysteps, lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lia. I still don't understand why the good old http://www.dcode.fr/ didn't give any valid answer.
ReplyDeleteFor lvl 6 view image name, then check the source for hint
ReplyDeleteI was so blind with lvl 8. I am on lvl 9 now.
ReplyDeleteseems i cant illuminate the darkness, duuh, i litteraly tried to do it
ReplyDeleteoh i am blind, the answer is here
ReplyDeletefinally got it, thanks for the hint @egle :)
ReplyDeleteI am stuck at lvl 10 now.
ReplyDeleteI dont know why, concidering I am stuck yet again, but I really like this game :)
ReplyDeleteLetter W of the word "ANSWER" on lvl 10 has a bit different color of the rest letters? Or just my screen needs to be cleaned? :p
ReplyDeleteI went trhough all the images on 6 and don't get it. The last one says what do you want now I gave you the answer...;)
ReplyDelete??
submachine, where are you stuck now?
ReplyDeletesmall-toll, use all these letters in this order to make the word
ReplyDelete@small-tool the letters of pics makes the answer, how you get to the end
ReplyDeletei am stuck on lvl 9 now
@Lia, on level 7, "Illuminate the darkness". I truly am bad at these things.
ReplyDeleteI'm asking the same question as Submachine : how do you illuminate the darkness in level 7 ?
ReplyDelete@submachine24 just look closely the answer is there, no need to think, need to look
ReplyDeleteSub, i think you have to look down and right on the image (if this was the lvl 7)
ReplyDeleteWow thanks Lia, you're really good.
ReplyDeleteI still need help in lvl 10 if someone gets there.
ReplyDeletehmm, cant see anything on the bottom right of the picture.
ReplyDeletei am still working on lvl9
ReplyDeleteWhen I click somewhere bottom right on 7 I get a white vertical line next to the picture, that's all.
ReplyDelete@Submachine: Then, maybe it was not the lvl 7 the one i remember. :/
ReplyDeleteits really here on pic 7, maybe try to download it and zoom in bottom right corner
ReplyDelete@small-tool: If the lvl 7 is the one i think it is, you don't have to click, you just have to look.
ReplyDeleteanyone can give me a hint on lvl9?
ReplyDeleteegle, what have you done in lvl 9 so far?
ReplyDeleteI have tried to zoom as far as I can with my tiny 13" monitor, but still cant see anything.
ReplyDeleteGood tip Egle.
ReplyDeleteWith downloading I could see it.
Sumachine24,
ReplyDeleteSPOILERCONCEALEDSPOILER
@lia well i decided that its 9th beethoven symphony, ode to joy, and now trying to play it on virtual keyboard, but failing and dont now which part should i play, so i am nowhere i guess
ReplyDeleteThank you @s-t.
ReplyDeleteCouldnt see anything while downloaded either.. Will go back and see later if i can find it.
Egle, first of all, view the name of the image and change it to something else, cause there is a mistake there.
ReplyDeleteoh nice, thanks @lia
ReplyDeleteIn 8 I changed the image in a gif file, but I can't see anything?
ReplyDeletenow on lvl 10 and the answe for 9 was funny btw :D
ReplyDelete@small-tool dont u see any blinking numbers? maybe try to download this one too?
ReplyDeleteEgle, i am stuck at lvl 10, too. So, if you make any progress with this one, share a hint. ;)
ReplyDeleteI dont see any blinking numbers, have downloaded the image in .gif and .jpg.
ReplyDeletesomeone still hear? i can't do level 2. were can i write and what is the page titel?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the letters of the url-word of lvl 10 can be used as hex (cause letter f is max there), it's not the answer...
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, i have to ask again, the letter W in the word ANSWER has a little-bit different color than the other letters or it's just my screen?
@עליזה
ReplyDeleteReplace the word before the .htm in the url address.
The blinking numbers:
ReplyDeleteSPOILER97SPOILER103SPOILER105SPOILER108SPOILER105SPOILER116SPOILER121SPOILER
@lia yes, its a little bit different for me too
ReplyDeleteok, i have an idea then. let's try it..
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work :/ I tried to find the hex color of the W (which finally is aaaaaa) but it's not the answer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lia, this game is hard for me I hope I can pass the levels.
ReplyDeletegot it :)
ReplyDeleteTried to google all the numbers together, and then I get a lot of articles on weight loss? Maybe Im not on the right path, lol!
ReplyDelete@Sub
ReplyDeleteDon't google the numbers. Use the numbers by the title.
@lia its about colors, right?
ReplyDelete@submachine24 havent u noticed the page name: ASCII? :)
I'm so not good at these games.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the numbers Lia but still stuck.
Has it got something to do with body, some kind of size?
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how to do level 2.....
Thanks Lia and Egle.
ReplyDelete@Egle, yes but not only for W.
ReplyDeleteI have to go for a while, will finish later :) Good luck to you guys :)
ReplyDeleteI need help with 11 now.
ReplyDeleteFor 11: Maybe something with Roman Numerals?
ReplyDeletei still cant get 10, different pages gives me different codes
ReplyDeleteFor 11: It points to SPOILERVATICANSPOILERCITYSPOILER
ReplyDeletebut i dont know how to use it at the moment.
Aah got it!!
ReplyDeletethe other letters not W are white?
ReplyDelete@egle, i used colorpicker from photoshop, so i can't suggest you a page. But trust the one that gives you #aaaaaa for W.
ReplyDelete@egle, no they are not white.
ReplyDelete@small-tool where are you now? which lvl?
ReplyDeleteLia, still at 9
ReplyDeleteLooked at night of doom, 9th of doom, but nothing?
true they are not white, its killing me!!
ReplyDelete@small
ReplyDeleteHave you changed the image name?
aaargh, everything i try on lvl ten takes me back to lvl 8!
ReplyDelete@Lia, what did you do?
Lia,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to change the image name. Do I have to download it?
@Nan
ReplyDeleteFind the hex of each color of the numbers. E.g. For letter W is #aaaaaa, so you get ***A**.
i get cebade, which is apparently not correct for 10
ReplyDeleteEvening all, I love riddles :o)
ReplyDeleteGot to level 8, but I can only come up with GAY LIT which I'm sure is not right lol
@small, just type the image name as you do with the htm and then change it
ReplyDeleteOk I found out (with properties), but now I have a picture of notes. Do I have to play those?
ReplyDelete@Egle, 4 letters are right and 2 are wrong.
ReplyDelete@small-tool if u dont play any instruments keep in mind that: do re mi fa sol la si = c d e f g a b
ReplyDelete@small, no you have to find out which notes are they and convert them to letters
ReplyDeleteA found out 9. It's the names (letters) of the notes.
ReplyDeleteAhh sneeky, there were two 105's on L8.
ReplyDeleteThanks girls, but just had a tiny little bright moment and found it already.
ReplyDeleteAny ideas for 11?
ReplyDeleteSo far I have thought of:
SPOILERVATICANSPOILERCITYSPOILER
and
SPOILERROMANSPOILERNUMERALSSPOILER
oh yeah, i am color blind perhaps :D
ReplyDeleteWell on 11 now!
@Lia, thanks :)
ReplyDeletestill can't make out which letters they are supposed to represent, tho...
is it a proper word?
Level 9 there is a letter missing on the p** f*l*, but when I add it in the URL it disappears! Hmmm
ReplyDeletelvl 12 finally :)
ReplyDelete@rambler also the number is wrong, isnt it?
ReplyDeleteHi Egle, I got the egg (music page), but the letter 't' is missing from the URL!!
ReplyDeletecaught up as much as I could, and finally on level 10!
ReplyDeletein level 9, the only thing you have to change is the number. At least that got me through :)
ReplyDeleteah! finally. a proper word *phew*
ReplyDeletenow next level!
Level 8 and its blinking numbers...?
ReplyDeletebtw, is there supposed to be music on this? anyone hear anything?
ReplyDeletelol
@rambler yeah, its missing, but i didnt fixed that, just the number. U got music page? u mean u can hear the music?
ReplyDelete@lia i tried to convert 9,554 into roman numbers, am i on right track?
gonna need some help with level 10, probably not suprising, lol. I have absolutely no clue what to do!
ReplyDeleteoh there are more numbers heh
ReplyDelete@egle, yes for roman but no for 9,554
ReplyDeleteNeed help on 10 as well.
ReplyDeleteAll the other letters (except the W) are white aren't they?
@Pascale, have you got L8 yet, if not
ReplyDeletehttp://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/
is very useful :o)
@lia yeah, i am on 12 now
ReplyDelete@small-tool sadly not, they are not white
purple hell is usefull for lvl 11 as well :)
ReplyDelete@Egle, lol no, I can see it though but it makes no sense to me, I can't read music. Gonna have to google some music note names I think...
ReplyDeletestill need help with level 10. A hint please?
ReplyDelete@rambler yeah u need to know what notes there is and then convert them to letters
ReplyDeleteI need help with level 6 please.
ReplyDeletehmm...american keys...
ReplyDelete@submachine i used this page http://www.dusek.ch/utilities/colors/AAAAAA
ReplyDelete@עליזה what is lvl6 about? i cant remember it now
ReplyDeleteFinally found 10.
ReplyDeleteSubmachine, the letters are not just letters but make a real word too.
Level 6.
ReplyDeleteYou have to see all the images and remember what letters. Start with screen6a (or screen 6b, don't remember)
Yay, got L9 \o/. I hate the stuff too...
ReplyDeleteEgle, level 6 is a pic. the titel is letters and in the source it say why 'a? why not something else?
ReplyDeletehmm, still dont get 10. Which letters do you mean small?
ReplyDelete@עליזה oh small-tool just answered for u at 19/9/10 21:37
ReplyDeleteSmall-Tool, were are all the images? i have only one and i can't see the other.
ReplyDelete@עליזה
ReplyDeletePaste the pic file name into the URL and do the change....
completely stuck on lvl 12.
ReplyDeleteanyone?
I am in 12 too
ReplyDeleteFirst put in screen6b then it's not found but gives you the adress for a picture that picture gives an other picture etc.
ReplyDeleteSubmachine24,
The colors of the letters are different. You have to find the HEX colorcodes for every letter.
are these american type keys, bank box; post box? or are they referring to places like florida keys? i'm clueless! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Rambler I'll try it later. this game tired me.
ReplyDeleteStuck on level 11. What number do I have to convert?
ReplyDelete2912 and 9554 are not the ones.
i've even tried alicia keys!
ReplyDelete@small-tool
ReplyDeletelook for a number that is very big ...
Ahh, thank you so much small-tool! Think I got the word, but only get the message "Change folder to .../pippity/decade.htm. Tried to put in "pippity/decade.htm", but that doesnt work.
ReplyDeletei just solved lvl 12 in a crazy way, using http://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/
ReplyDeletei copy pasted the code we found in source to all the converters and than to decyphering programs, the answer that "cryptogram solver" gave me was correct. I got no idea, how it is meant to be done
oh, pop. got it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan.
ReplyDeleteSubmachine24,
That should work.
lvl 13 was quite easy, on lvl 14 now
ReplyDeleteNow stumped on 11.
ReplyDeleteHmm, got an egg on Level 11 telling me I have the right idea but the wrong number!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep lvl 13 was easy.
ReplyDeleteSubmachine24,
There is a very big 4 digit number in the picture, convert it (roman numerals).
well, good game, but i need to leave u guys, good luck, have fun :)
ReplyDeleteWhat to do with the months we got on 13?
ReplyDeleteoh, did not see that number, lol. Thanks again small-tool.
ReplyDelete@Egle: what? lol
ReplyDeletedo you mean the ioxc?
Lia,
ReplyDeleteFirst letters of all those months make a word.
i tried 050712050811 but didn't work. i think my brain got tired lol
ReplyDeleteOn 14 do I have to record that and reverse it and play it faster?
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to record that with what?
I have to leave, planned to be awake at school tomorrow, lol. Good luck all :)
ReplyDeleteAnybody still here?
ReplyDeletestill here
ReplyDeletestill stuck on 12
cant solve it:(
any hints?
I am s-t, but I'm gonna take a wee break. Back in about 30 mins.
ReplyDeleteNan,
ReplyDelete12 was solved by Egle by putting the word from the source in a cryptogram solver and since we don't know how it makes sense I can give you the answer I think
SPOILERINVENTIONSPOILER
@small-tool
ReplyDeletethank you!!
it was driving me mad!
how on earth is that the right answer?
well, if it works... :)
Got to Lvl 10 but this game is giving me a serious headache! Not my thing at all. Thanks for everyone's help - sorry I've been lurking but not able to offer any help whatsoever! Good luck all.
ReplyDeleteHey all, I'm back and I've got an evil green-eyed cat staring at me (shudder)
ReplyDeleteRambler that's level 13 right?
ReplyDeleteThat's not hard, look at the source.
Very stuck at level 15 now.
uhm, cannot see a picture on lvl 15...
ReplyDeleteI am on 15 too
ReplyDeletecan somebody please give me the url for number 5
ReplyDeleteSo far on 15: I got the code SPOILERBASE64SPOILER from the picture, i converted the txt code (using the 'spoiler' format) and then i tried to save it as jpg, gif, png, but none of them worked. :/
ReplyDelete@s-t, yes I got the SC clue, but that cat is definitely evil!!!!
ReplyDeleteLia, I have, converting from wingdings, the same word but I can't use it?
ReplyDeleterazelberrie,
what was 5 again?
razelberrie,
ReplyDeleteI remember now. That screen you can scroll down and at the very bottom middle you can select some hidden text. Anyway, the word is; hollow.
Any help with 15?
ReplyDeleteLia,
ReplyDeleteI used the decoder/encoder from the wingdings word on all those letters but how can you make that into a picture?
@Lia, You don't need text for level 15, try an image file.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help guys, I'm off to bed now.
@small
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we can do it at all. I just noticed that if I open the jpg with a text editor (i use notepad++) I see something equal to the decoded text I got. So that made me think of saving the text i got as jpg but it didn't work. :/
Rambler, you mean the screenthe15th.jpg? i got the word by using the webdings but then what?
ReplyDeleteLia I finally found a decoder that works;
ReplyDeletehttp://www.toastedspam.com/decode64
@Lia
ReplyDeleteUse the URL in the source as it is ... don't change it to .jpg & then you'll find what you need to decode using what the pic told you :)
Thank you small for the decoder. I have done all this before but i couldnt get a picture with the decoder i used.
