thank you @ testsite, i will try going in that direction then, wish me luck :)
ReplyDeleteThe street name is also the name of a city in the same country...
ReplyDeleteanyone still working on this? Not much luck in "Wall"
ReplyDeleteI am, also stuck at wall :). Working on the print-and-play puzzles... kind of gave up on the letter wheel.. now working on the puzzle pieces... look like letter contours to me so im trying to fit them together. Any progress?
ReplyDeleteanyone still here? I never did get that Spanish library with the initials L P B to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteGetting so frustrated with this library...
ReplyDelete@mgkanda, I'm still working on this. Now stuck at blue dot which is 1051,39km away from red dot. I assume that the red dot is notre dame de paris. This riddle is so hard. I prefer working with the source code rather than guessing what the author is thinking.
ReplyDeleteI assume you can see the place where the green arrow points at (streetview)? Then you have the answer in front of you, but take care... some letters may look like one, but are not... IF you get through, prepare for some real frustration :).
ReplyDelete@mkganda.. you have the right words. just notice the spelling of the first word. The letters look different. That is because the end of the word ends in "ia"
ReplyDelete@Jabba67. What level are you on? the first map puzzle or the second?
ReplyDeleteHi again @mgkanda (and the rest)! I read in a previous comment that you have the correct place. Recheck your spelling and make sure you have all the "i's" you need in the first word. You don't have any spaces or capital letters, do you?
ReplyDeleteI see the green arrow. Before I work on the green arrow, I must first find out where that blue dot is. :(
ReplyDelete@Ruff, I think there are great spoilers for that blue dot in the previous comments.
ReplyDeleteSPOILERlibreriaparabibliofilosSPOILER
ReplyDeleteHi @Ellie. I'm going to look for that spoiler right now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI never used the blue dot.. just the green arrow.
ReplyDeletewell.. I used the blue dot to get to the city I guess.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you!!! That's what I had wrong! "ia"
ReplyDeleteOn the building it really looks like just an a.
Got to cook dinner so can't play now, but thanks a million!!! :D
Now I have to make a change if I want to move on.
ReplyDeleteGotta go. Thank you everyone for your greatest hints.
"The wall" refers to the movie "STARDUST", the hard time is with the wheel which appers to give spoilerFAILOspoiler...
ReplyDeleteHm... I got "Gere" from the wheel, but I don't think I'm using it in the right way. It could be something with Richard Gere and Stardust though.
ReplyDeleteHow do we know how to place the wheel?
ReplyDeleteLoving this riddle, loving the Stardust reference. Thanks to Edgar for subbing, Yalcin for posting, and a special thanks to the creator(s).
ReplyDeleteComing back to play some more tomorrow. Have a good night, gamers! :D
Aha, everybody still at the same place, but there is more of us now..... and Ellie working on it as well... we should get there.
ReplyDeleteI only get letters that don't match
Stardust is not only a movie but also a unmaned spacecraft of NASA accoriding to Wiki
ReplyDeleteI've only solved Puzzles 1 and 2 so far, and they have taken me to cities in Italy and Germany respectively.
ReplyDeleteFor Puzzle 3, I think it has to be with the Disney movie... I should check it out again, lol.
I've worked a while with Puzzle 4, but still haven't been able to get anything legible. The hint says a Latin phrase, and all I could get is VIRT... and nothing after that, maybe I should turn the wheel in a different way, even when there are several Latin phrases starting with VIRTUS mostly.
As for the jigsaw... Stardust? Hmm, I haven't worked on that at all, but I feel it's worth the lead.
Time to call it a night. Goodnight.
So the level we're all on is clearly about the jigsaw, right? I've got all the pieces together and it's the wall with the guard with the castle in the distance and the flying pirates and stars beyond that. Nothing too telling really.
ReplyDelete"and meet together at the final goal"
They both became stars at the end, but they ruled Stormhold as K and Q before that.
They filmed the streets of Stormhold in Elm Hill, Norwich. They did some filming in the Isle of Skye in Scotland too. I have no idea where I'm going with this, but with the picture, I think we may need the location they filmed this particular piece.
Any thoughts?
The stone wall was erected in Ashridge Park in England. (same as some of Harry Potter)
ReplyDeleteThe village of Wall was filmed in Cotswold and Castle Comb.
hmm...
I think I've gone off the deep end.
ReplyDeleteDavid Bowie
The Berlin Trilogy
Ziggy Stardust
The Berlin Wall
Coffee brewing, anyone else working on this one?
Just when someone checks in, puzzle 1 is the pieces we got after do***us ill*****tio m**, right?
ReplyDeleteAre we putting the pieces together to make a 6 letter word?
@mgkanda,
ReplyDeleteYes, puzzle 1 (second part) came from that place. You have to put the pieces together to come up with a phrase/riddle to solve. The 14 pieces will be put in 2 columns and 7 rows, where the last row also fits with the first one, like making a ring.
Now, what I think is that we have to solve the 4 puzzles (+ jigsaw) and to combine them to get the final location... might be wrong though.
okay, thanks Edgar. Working on that now.
ReplyDeleteAnd then wait until 30 January 2011 before the final puzzle is unlocked.....
ReplyDeleteEverybody will have forgotten about this then!!!
do they line up exactly? Sucky
ReplyDeletelol...probably true. testite, did you finish puzzle one?
ReplyDeleteNope, still cutting the pieces out so I can make them fit.
ReplyDeleteHave to go soon. Will be back this evening to check if somebody beat us to it.
ReplyDeleteProbably Edgar will have solved it.
I'm not really having any fun anymore. These puzzles are killing me. All I can get out of two columns of 7 with puzzle 1 pieces is total gibberish and I have no clue what to do with puzzle 2.
ReplyDelete@mgkanda.. can't believe you are still on this. I gave up when I had to print and cut out!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to everyone. This was a very fun puzzle!
Don't worry.... I feel the same... but we will get there in the end hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteGoing now... will check back this evening.
LOL EnJoy! I think I may throw in the towel as well. I don't like all this printing and cutting anyway. We'll see.
ReplyDeletePuzzle 1 has been the easier of them all for me.
ReplyDeleteIf it helps, let me tell you that the hidden message starts with
SPOILERATRAGICLOVESPOILER
Woohoo! Thanks Edgar! I think I got it! Can't play now but will get to it in the a.m.
ReplyDelete@testite I'm obsessed! We HAVE to get them all! lol
There are literally pages of fun escapes that I've skipped to do this riddle. That means something b/c I'm a total freak for them lol. I'm way behind. I'll catch a live one eventually, I'm sure.
I can't see how to fit the first puzzle piece.
ReplyDeleteDo they fit perfectly, do I put them overlapping each other..... aarrrggghh... am going to leave this till tomorrow.
Just had to keep on going.... but can't make it fit.....
ReplyDeleteEdgar how did you get that first 3 words..... I'm stumped.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePOP POP POP and again POP.
ReplyDeleteNow I've got it. Solved this one finally.
Just for me to make it clear:
We have the wooden block's puzzle that make a sentence...puzzle 1
We have the circle with the circle letters ... puzzle 4
Puzzle 2: national treasure hint??? but with what page?? the letter solver?? and/or the numbers
Puzzle 3: horizontal and vertical numbers (1 to 3)
and we have the 9 sheets making the poster.
@testsite,
ReplyDeletePuzzle 2 is the one with the 14x14 letters grid AND the horizontal and vertical numbers (1 to 3).
You'll get another sentence/riddle, whose answer is another 6-letters city... hope you like pictologics ;)
Here, for the ones not knowing them and to get familiar with them:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.escapegames24.com/2007/01/picture-logic.html
@Edgar, thnx for clarifying.
ReplyDeleteI got the sentence for puzzle 1. But haven't got the 6 letter word yet. That's higher knowlidge of riddling I guess.
And thnx for the hint on puzzle 2.... was way of on that...
Signing off now.... have but 5 hours left to get some sleep..... ohoh this game is really getting me...
Maybe see you tomorrow!! Thnx again Edgar.
I love picture logic puzzles, but they usually would have numbers per row/column. How to work this one out?
ReplyDelete@testite For the 6 letter word for puzzle 1 just google the exact sentence and you should see it right away. :)
So I got "You Are Right!" for puzzle one, but it said that the answers to the others would not be verified?
ReplyDeleteHi Mgkanda, my google doesn't show the right things... can't find results for the exact sentence.............
ReplyDeleteFor puzzle 2: you have a sheet with horizontal and vertical numbers don't you??? Use it together.
I might not be putting my puzzles together right. Double checking...
ReplyDeleteAs for puzzle 1, try this: http://bit.ly/aUGNBP
Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteSo, puzzle 2 is the 14x14 letter grid with the one that has the hint Nat'l Treasure 2004, right? At least it seems to be according to their file names. One is puzzle 2 and the other p2 and comes up in the game 2nd. Am I all screwed up? lol, probably :s
ReplyDeleteoh, and also, good morning testite :D
ReplyDeleteOkay, that can't work so, I need to use the letter grid with the 1-3's paper.
ReplyDeleteThnx Mgkanda..... now i've got it.
ReplyDeleteSaw the word before but thought it was something to do with an advertisement hahahahahaha getting all messed up..... I'm at puzzle 2 as well but dont know if we need to get something on the letters that stay or that you scratch out???
Trying to make it fit.
What I'm struggling with on pz2 is that there seem to be more to scratch out (or keep) according to the numbers than there are letters per row. ???
ReplyDeleteMy problem too..... I should fit but somehow I can't get it.
ReplyDeleteI made a copy in excel of it so it's easier to redo..... but it doesn't help hahaha.
Back to the drawing board.
Mgkanda... just to make sure.... you are using the first 4 on the horiz. lines and the last 4 on the vertical lines?
ReplyDelete@Edgar How the heck did you do 2?
ReplyDeleteI've tried both ways and the first line alone needs over 14 characters. There needs to be at least one space between numbers, right? It doesn't seem to fit even eliminating the space between vertical and horizontal.
ReplyDeleteI assumed at first that the first 4 #s were the horizontal, but then it seemed also plausible that they would be vertical as that's how they are written and the last 4 are written horizontally. So either way. With a normal picture logic puzzle the would all be written correctly, but with #s along the top for columns, so how they want us to do it seems like anyone's guess.
Okay, so I may be totally reaching and losing my marbles once again, but it seems that so far walls are mentioned quite a bit. The picture is at the stone wall separating the town of Wall and the rest of Stormhold. The pz1 clue refers to outside *er**a walls, and in Nat'l Treasure (the movie, have no idea how to work the riddle clue) there is the clue "Heere at the Wall" referring to the intersection of Broadway and Wall St. as DeHeere was the original name for Broadway.
ReplyDeleteI'm sticking with the first thought.
ReplyDeleteFirst 4 horiz. lines, second vert. lines, because when you turn that page to the left the last 4 stand under each other making it logic it goes on top (standing under each other).
Wait, another very possibly stupid idea. For puzzle 2 do we need to turn the grid the way the #s are? Like row 1 1122, then turn the grid and continue on the new row 1 1311.
ReplyDeleteOooor is it first four for the entire row and second 4 for the entire first column. So lost lol. ;P
lol...I guess I need to refresh before posting. :)
ReplyDeleteI even made a copy in excel of it.... so its easier putting it in...... but how ever I start I always end up at some point that it doesn't fit.
ReplyDeleteI think I have my grid right now, but one last question. For columns am I reading column 1's #s as 1311 or turning my paper for 1131?
ReplyDeleteIm using 1131
ReplyDeleteso first line 1122 and first column 1131
1
1
3
1
1122
Ohhh that post didn't turn out well... before the 1131 I put spaces but it won't show when posting.
ReplyDeleteGoing out for a while!!
ReplyDeleteGetting some air... I need it.
See you later Mgkanda.

ReplyDelete@mgkanda & @testsite,
ReplyDeleteFor Puzzle 2,
The 14x14 letters is the grid to solve as a pictologic, using the numbers on the sheet with horizontal and vertical numbers, indeed.
The first row from top should be 1 1 2 2
The first column from left should be 1 1 3 1
Now, figuring out how to solve this one was the easiest part. The solving itself was/is pretty hard. You should be able to read a (long) message with the staying letters (not the crossed out). Somehow, it was easier for me to solve it going from bottom to top, since there are a couple of 3's in the last rows, and I could figure out the final words first... and still, the solving process was hard, and only the "clue" of being making/spelling words out of it helped me through it.
As a major help, I'll spoil for you the last row, which should read:
SPOILERTOKNOWSPOILER
PS, still no idea about Puzzle 3 (National Treasure hint) or Puzzle 4 (the wheel with the Latin Phrase).
ReplyDeleteEDGAR!!! The last row help is HUGE!!! I can get this now. Thank you. I had my grid right, then. I could only eliminate one on my own and the griddler solver only 3 total. I'm very impressed with you at the moment that you did it on your own. :D
ReplyDeleteBTW (LOL)
ReplyDeleteFor the Pictologics/Griddlers/Picross/Nonograms lovers, I posted a link some comments above to play this games. It's an old post here in EG24 but they keep adding new games regularly.
Additionally (and I found this one 2 days ago) you can play them in another site and, if registering (for free), you can play them to get points and participate in inter-users matches. Here:
http://www.griddlers.net/
oh crap. Just realized that it's then backwards. I used to do these a lot so it may take me a while as I need to retrain my brain to think of the #s as ones NOT crossed out. Oi...again.
ReplyDeleteGriddler solver cannot help in this case.
ReplyDelete@mgkanda, I guess a griddler solver should only work when ONLY one solution is possible. Not the case here I'm affraid, and that's why this one is very hard to solve.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess you don't have much choice then to do it yourself. Hope my hint helps you through, and besides... where's the fun of letting a solver doing it, eh?? ;-)
@Edgar I know, you're right. It's just that I found it really hard to start. The only place I could was in 1233 as it added up to 12 incl. spaces and ended in a 3, but from there? Nada.
ReplyDeleteI'm cruising right along now. Working my way up like you did, just a little stuck in the middle at the moment, but expecting an "AHA!" any minute now. You're right, the letter do make it easier.
Hi everybody. I never posted until now at such games but this one is a really hard one and everybody seems to be stuck as I am.
ReplyDeleteFor the riddles:
Riddle 1: I suppose everybody found it by now.
Riddle 2: Really impossible to solve if you don't put the letters into the grid and look at possible 3-letter combinations. With Edgar's help of the last line you can proceed quickly. The solution (German City) is easy to find.
Riddle 3: Here I'm really stuck. The hint is 'National Treasure (2004)'. In this film they mention a 'Ottendorf Cipher' which eventually is the clue for this riddle. On part 1 we have the numbers from 1 to 39. In part 2 we have 39 numbers as well (going up to 30). I tried to combine the 2 parts in a logical way - no success until now. I did not find out how to make use of the * + and the dot.
In the Ottendorf code you need a 'reference text'. I noted that the letter in the diary has 39 lines...
I hope I don't lead you to a completely wrong path.
Edgar, is the first row
ReplyDeleteSPOILEROLDDONSPOILER?
No. nvm!
ReplyDelete@mgkanda: The 1st line is correct.
ReplyDeleteSorry for leaving to play something else.
ReplyDelete@U, thanks for your lead. I'll check it out.
@mgkanda, it IS!
Ooh! Thanks, U and Edgar! Almost done!
ReplyDeletegot the letters! woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAHA!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, got the place. This is where they stop telling you if you got it right or not, right? I get "You Are Wrong!", but I know I'm right. Or am I wrong...lol
ReplyDelete@U I get what your saying. We need to figure out why the symbols are there. We also have the issue of the 2 sets of #s not lining up. The symbols show up on both papers, so maybe we need to line them up by the symbols to see where we need to look? Does that make any sense?
ReplyDelete@mgkanda: It makes sense but the symbols don't line up. Furthermore we have 13 lines of #s in part 1 but 14 lines in part 2. Don't know if this is important.
ReplyDeleteBy the way: I am turning the wheel of riddle 4 like crazy (hoping that you and Edgar advance no. 3). But nothing here as well. I tried to do something with the only latin phrase we encountered in this game (dominus ...). But no success. I did not even understand why there are 2 red letters.
Okay, so there is one symbol per column. If you line up the *, the 1st column's clues line up, then the + for the second column, etc...Working on it now.
ReplyDeleteGot all my numbers, now for the letters! *fingers crossed*
ReplyDelete@mgkanda: That's great! Like this we have 39 pairs of numbers. Let's see if my assumption with the diary works...
ReplyDeleteOf course it works...
ReplyDeleteAfterwards you always can say: how easy!
I've been trying with the diary too. I have 3 columns of 5 sets of #s. Is that what you have?
ReplyDeleteThis might be one of those that we need to double and triple check our own counting. I know we skip spaces, but what about punctuation?
@U What? I wonder what I'm doing wrong then?
ReplyDeleteI get it! I was only reading the #s from that specific column. So line up the first symbol and find all pairs that line up and get 13 every time! Going at it again.
ReplyDeleteExactly. And the Ottendorf gives you a sensible phrase. But I am not sure if I got correctly. Very hard for me to count the letters correctly.
ReplyDeleteI have a strange word as the 3rd from the end. All the others must be correct.
Don't know what this sentence means yet.
Got the city of riddle 3!
ReplyDeleteIs there a small bug in the riddle or didn't I count correctly. The 3rd word from the end does not look ok for me.
Thanks to mgkanda for the decisive tip of how to align the marks.
:D yay! I had to take a call so, I'm just working on it now.
ReplyDeletemine's gibberish. Counting again.
ReplyDeleteOk. That's enough gaming for me today. Posting comments is much more fun than just playing. Have to do it more often...
ReplyDeleteHope I did not spoil your game by giving too much information.
Thanks everybody and see ya.
we don't count punctuation, right?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the fun of the "live" game! Best way to play!
ReplyDeleteNo way you gave too much information b/c w/o what you gave and Edgar gave we wouldn't have figured out how to do puzzle 3! More heads the better.
still here...
ReplyDeleteNo punctuations or blanks count.
'Dear nephew' does not count as a line.
Thanks U. Keep getting distracted with "real" life lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm back!!! And guess what.... as much as I told to use which line hor. or vert. I messed it up in my grid...... that's why I couldn't succeed... starting to find some words that make sence.
ReplyDeleteBe back later!!!
Yay, testite! Still struggling with making sense out of my pz 3 letters.
ReplyDeletefrig
ReplyDeleteWhat?? You solved Puzzle #3?? THAT'S GREAT! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI'll go to the comments and start working on it.
Kudos @mgkanda and @U!! :D
@Edgar Thanks, but I'm failing at 3. I may have figured out how to find the numbers but my letters don't make any kind of sense. U is a pro like you. I hope to figure this out so I can keep up.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Edgar, I'm waiting for you. If you get the right letters, that's two people that got it and I'll feel better about posting mine. I need someone who got it to check mine against theirs then I'll delete it.
ReplyDeleteIf that's okay, that is. :)
AND SOLVED PUZZLE 2... now for the correct word to put in.... or are they not available.... I keep getting you are wrong
ReplyDelete@mgkanda.. still at this?
ReplyDeleteDo you need an intervention?
I have been reading through the comments, puzzle seems more complicated than ever. Is the only way to get to where you are is to print and cut out?
wait...I think I just figured out what I've been doing wrong
ReplyDelete(and yes, I know I talk too much lol)
Congrats Mgkanda.... you are at the top with Edgar and U. (and congrats to you too... well done)
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling behind you.....
I still can't make anything of puzzles 3 and 4.
@mgkanda, I need a starting push I guess. Hard to concentrate when doing other things around and rushing to make sense of this. Tell me if I got you straight. If I line up the * symbol (is that overlaping both of the clues?) one of the pairs I get is 2-26 (right above the *), is that correct?
ReplyDelete@Enjoy, I think you can actually play/solve them if not printing them but doing it with the images (except maybe for puzzle #1... the jigsaw-like one, but it's not only the easiest puzzle, but also the answer is quite obvious). After all, I think we all have worked on them in separate notes and/or Excel. Let me know if you join back.
@Enjoy, if you want to solve puzzle 1 you will have to cut it out.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to cut all the small pieces out, just cut them out roughly round the edge.... then you can puzzle away with them.
Oh and you will have to cut out the circle as well... otherwise you cant do that puzzle.
Please guys.... give me some help.... line up???? how????
ReplyDeleteHi EnJoy! I think it's when a game makes sense and I still can't figure it out, I become completely obsessed, (case in point, the Acorns game), but when it's buggy or has a language barrier I don't really care about giving up. An intervention may be in order soon though.
ReplyDeleteUnless you're super techy and have awesome software, I'm afraid printing and cutting (mostly printing) is what you have to do. I'd have never gotten the first 2 if Edgar didn't keep giving me the mini spoilers to push me in the right direction.
However, I finally finished puzzle 3!!! I was stupidly just writing the letters down as I found them instead of putting them in there correct places on the answer sheet. Oh well, got it now.
Now for puzzle 4...
ehm... @mgkanda...? hello?
ReplyDeleteSorry, guys, just saw your comments.
ReplyDeleteYou have a symbol per column on the sheet with three columns of 13. Lay it over the other sheet (the one with the Nat'l Treas. hint) so that the 1*2 is lined up with * on the other paper. If you look through the top paper you'll see some numbers lining up. The first will be 8-1.
First column when lined up with *:
8-1
36-8
24-30
37-4
15-9
write down all #s that line up (13 per symbol) in each column. Then switch to the +. Line the 1+1 with + on the other sheet and start in the first column again and write down all the numbers that line up.
Then go find the letters in the "Dear Nephew" letter. 39 letters, 39 lines in the letter.
8-1 = 8th line-1st letter
Hope that makes sense.
@Edgar... think he is busy with puzzle 4..
ReplyDeleteCould you shed some light on how to start... been counting the letters in the diary... but....
dont get anything.
I'm here to help if you need it. I'll explain better if my first explanation doesn't make sense. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'll be hopeless on 4 so, I'll wait for you guys.
That's exactly what I needed to know @mgkanda, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was matching my numbers with the one on top of the other, lol.
@testsite, I think you got it better then me, hehe. Well, let's work on it, shall we?
Good Luck with the puzzle guys. I am not going to join in.. too difficult for me. When I get to the point where I can only solve by reading the comments, I throw in the towel.
ReplyDeletePlus I have to go take my 16 y.o to go meet Kim Kardashian at the mall.. wish me luck!
How fun! Enjoy, EnJoy!
ReplyDeleteBack again... had to do somethings...
ReplyDeleteAHA, thnx Mgkanda... I was lining up but not getting 13 as a result for each equation.... hahahahaha it was 13 equations we need... Going to work on it!!!
Thnx a zillion!
Good luck @EnJoy!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU @mgkanda!! Solved Puzzle #3 and got another city, yay!! :D
Special thanks to @U for the help. Hope to see you back and to play along some more... welcome to posting btw :P
@testsite, good luck on that, it was really easy after all. Only the counting is a bit annoying.
I have no clue what to do with this wheel for pz4. Start with f?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, let me tell you what I originally did.
ReplyDeleteIn order to match the inner red F with the outer red I (arrow #2), I divided the alphabet into sets of 4 letters each, like
1)ABCD
2)EFGH
3)IJKL, etc.
Put the wheel on the 1st letter of the 1st set (A) and took the letter of arrow #1 (V).
Turned the wheel to the 2nd letter of the 2nd set (F) and took the letter on arrow #2 (I) [these are our red letters].
Did the same with the letter on arrow #3 with the wheel on the 3rd letter of the 3rd set (K) and got an R.
Anyway, doing like this I got a T in my 4th turn (it's when I could spell VIRT...), and gibberish after that, so I must have used it in the wrong way.
What I'm almost sure of is that the message or the Latin phrase we should get will be spelled with the outer letters, using the inner ones as the key for them.
And another thing... that "when things start to repeat..." text? Well, something tells me it's a hint for this code... might be wrong though.
I'm getting a lot of letters but...... do I or don't I count the spaces??????????
ReplyDeleteNO spaces testsite, nor punctuations.
ReplyDeleteHmm...that makes sense. I assumed it just meant that it was time to go back and do the puzzles, but nothing in this riddle is that simple.
ReplyDeleteThanks Edgar, then I must be miscounting... oh bother... rechecking.....
ReplyDelete@testite Just in case, are you filling the letters in on their spots on the answer sheet? Just asking b/c I wasn't. I just wrote down the numbers in the order I found them on a separate sheet and then had a jumble of gibberish starting with the word "apene" lol. Then I went back and wrote on the column sheet the letter exactly where I found it's number and finally got a discernible sentence.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm the only one that did that, but like I said, just in case.
"through the edges of the world they go
ReplyDeleteand meet together at the final goal."
So the 4 puzzles represent 4 corners or edges and where they all meet is the final goal, right?
Hello, guys, I’m Rebus HSH – the author of the game.
ReplyDeleteI see you’re getting a little nervous here, so I decided to write a few lines.
The four puzzles from the book are so difficult because my primary idea for the game was to find sponsors and award with a cash prize the first one who succeeds in solving the game. However, I haven’t found any sponsors yet but I’m still working on it. That’s why I’ve left the final puzzle locked until 30.01.2011.
Actually, the answers of the four puzzles you will need for the final one. My idea is that you find the bank (location) first using the picture and then you are told that the safe is protected with a password and you get an envelope in which you find the final puzzle. That’s where you insert the answers of the four puzzles in certain positions, in order to find out the password that unlocks the safe.
Here are some hints for the fourth puzzle:
Edgar, “when things start to repeat” is really associated with the fourth puzzle. The Latin phrase you are looking for starts with red “F” and ends with red “I”.
This puzzle is, in fact, the most difficult from all.
That’s all for now, I’ll check on your progress in a couple of hours.
If you have any questions you can ask me.

ReplyDeleteTHAT was very very kind of you @Rebus HSH :D
ReplyDeleteThank for the hints and for offering your help (hope we won't need it, lol). Let me give you personally a huge CONGRATS for the making of such a great game. Only logical puzzles altogether (except maybe for the knight jumps on the chessboard, lol) and really hard challenges to achieve.
Cheers!
@rebus_hsh Thanks for checking in! Loving this game!
ReplyDeleteSo, to find the bank all we need is the jigsaw, then come the puzzles.
Hi edgar and all of the great eg24 people.
ReplyDeleteI'm and old escape games player and i've created an account just to post this, after a couple of years playing in the background.
I have been following this game the way I usually do, coming for the always available help here.
I consider myself smart enough to solve some of the codes in the games -most of them actually- and Ive made it along with the live players in this riddle, but again, thanks to the help of you nice people.
I don't know what the rest of you think, but if the final step in this game is to be unlocked until next year, most of us might not be there. Maybe many of us will forget about it, or just we won't mind. We'll be somewhere else away from our computers, or near by doing some more important things by then. In any case, one of the things I can assure without a doubt -and many other players think the same, I'm sure- is that you only edgar, aside from anyone else, deserve to be there and claim the treasure.
Eg24 changed in a radical way since you came, always giving unselfish help and offering your brilliance. You rock man!!
Nicely said rex! I second that! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL @rex! Ehm... what to say? hm..
ReplyDelete*speechless*
thanks!
:D
Gotto go... meal time for me. See you later guys!
ReplyDelete“when things start to repeat”
ReplyDeleteF---i or is it more than 5 letters? I just assumed 5.
I'm giving up on this wheel. I don't have a clue as how to use it and can't find the right Latin phrase in a list.
So for the jigsaw. I finished it a while ago and all I could think of is, since you are at the wall in the picture, maybe it's the location at which they filmed the wall. Ashbridge.
Bye Edgar! Me too. Hours and hours and hours...Have a nice night, all! :D
ReplyDeleteFirst: Mgkanda thnx for yet another big help!!
ReplyDeleteGoing to try that.
Second: I agree that Edgar deserves the price!!
I second everything that is said!!
Thirth: Thnx for checking in, Oh yea great gamemaker, and offering a hint.
I love this game!!! Logic, varied and addictive!!
After this...... going to try to solve puzzle 3.
Have to hurry.... guests arriving soon.
Oooohhhh booooeeeehhhhhh, I still get nothing!
ReplyDeleteOnly on the first 5 I get something that makes sence.....
I'm back. Should do other things but never mind...
ReplyDeleteSurprise, surprise. We have the author following the progress. Congratulations to Rebus HSH for a really great game. Everything very logical (once you solved it). Hope you find your sponsors. As I understood, a cash price is not very important for the people playing here (else, nobody would post hints or spoilers). But if you want to give one, you can give it right now to Edgar. We would not have reached so far in this game without him so quickly.
My concern is your delay until January 31 to reveal the final puzzle. I think everybody here will have forgotten about your game by then.
But once again: Congratulations for the game. I enjoyed (and still enjoy) it.
Can't really play on riddle 4 here where I am now. So just a few latin phrases beginning with F and ending with I (author's spoiler):
ReplyDeleteFabula quanta fui
Faciamus experimentum in corpore vili
Facile est imperare aliis, difficile sibi
Fas est et ab hoste doceri
fiat voluntas Dei
Finis cantici
filae nostrae sicvt angvli incisi similitvdine templi
Flagellum dei
fons sapientiae, verbum Dei
Fortunam criminis pudeat sui
Don't ask me what they all mean.
Perhaps it is not even a good approach for the riddle listing all this stuff here.
Thank you all for the comments and I am very happy that you enjoy the game!
ReplyDeleteYour interest makes me proud of my work!
Mgkanda, the jigsaw puzzle leads you to the place of the treasure. It's actually a sort of "small area", not a business building or something like that. So, you need the name of this "area". I've made it this way so you could find it only through the picture, not by Googling any banks' names and type them in the text field below the book.
The jigsaw puzzle has nothing to do with the place where the movie was filmed.
As for the fourth puzzle (The wheel), the phrase consists of more than 5 letters.
As for the cash prize, I see you play very well without any stimulus of that kind...still that was my initial idea...but it doesn't seem it will work out.
Well @U, that list is a bit longer than mine. Thanks. It could be useful to work on the code backwardly (not even sure if the expression exists, or if it fits LOL).
ReplyDeleteI think I need a break from the game for the moment (as it's been like since started). I've played it long enough for the day, and maybe the solution comes when the least expected... or hopefully someone could come with the answer in the meantime. If not, I'm positive it will come to us sooner or later.
And to the author:
Again, congrats and thanks for the game. It's a hard and long one (it's been live in EG24 for 3 days now), and well, I thought of coming back to ask you (since you are checking on our progress and promised to come back to keep on doing it) not to help us that much.
You're game is great, and you helping us every now and then might spoil the fun, the struggling, the brainstorming... the collective solving. The EG24 way of playing. It also could undervalue the game (to my eyes at least)... and it's a great one! I've always said that the best games stand on their own.
I think I can understand that, in order to get sponsors, maybe you're interested in having the more players ready on the final stage to attract their attention?
Anyway, I'm not saying we don't need your help. What I'm saying is, stick close to us, check on our progress as you have been doing it, but give us some time for the solving. Maybe one day or two days before the next hint you feel we need? No rush I guess (not for me).
Hey!! And for the rest, stop saying that prize crap! LOL
@U is right when saying we play for the fun and not for the bucks.
@rex is right when saying we might forget about the game when the final puzzle is unlocked, and many of us might not be there.
@mgkanda is right when saying logical and unsolved puzzles attract us the most... they made us try harder... and that's the only reason I personally would like (us) to be there (even if not on time to be one of first), just to have the satisfaction of finish it.
'nuff said.
Here here! Much agreed, @Edgar! The prize is the great and very difficult game...SOLVED!
ReplyDeleteI will wait 'til January for the final bit and I hope you get your sponsors. I don't think the die-hards will forget. Those of us that keep coming back will come back again. I've got all my levels bookmarked and will be ready to go.
A little competition is fun, but we escape and riddle here on EG24 as a sort of "team sport". No need for $$, we're just so grateful for the free game with this much thought into it. It's a masterpiece!
Thanks for the push in the right direction. If you have indeed been tracking our progress, you must have been laughing your a** off when I went all loony toons and started making all these connections to walls and David Bowie. I know I was. I almost erased all my wacky ideas out of sheer embarrassment, but that would take away from the journey. For people (like lately I often am) that come to play later, the comments can make for some good laughs as well as a lot of help.
@U Great list! I will get to working on it in the morning. What great finds. I didn't find nearly so many F phrases, let alone that ended in i. Well done!
Good night for real! :D
Could the wheel be Fibonacci?????
ReplyDelete@testsite,
ReplyDeleteAccording to the author, the message should be at least a 5-words long Latin phrase.
I feel like this Puzzle will be solved today.
Optimistic Edgar.
@Edgar At least 5 words long? I missed that. That further narrows it. I believe you're right, it will be solved today.
ReplyDeleteNo. He spoke of more than 5 letters...
ReplyDeleteStill can't play here where I am (maybe tomorrow, if you didn't solve it until then)
Wow. Got it.
ReplyDeleteThe solution (latin phrase) is not in my list I gave earlier.
The hint (change when it starts to repeat) was the breakthrough.
So (perhaps it's a bad spoiler): Stay with 1 until it repeats, then change to 2 ...
Once again, as soon as you have the phrase, the city is not hard to find.
And now? All we have left is the stardust picture.
By the way: The phrase has less than 5 words.
ReplyDeleteI felt I didn't have the head to solve anything yesterday, and I see it was worse than I first thought... it IS more than 5 letters, NOT words; DUH! my bad :(
ReplyDelete@U, way to go again! I did try something like that, but couldn't come up with anything. Will try harder now that I know how, but I might come back for another hint. Thanks!
Then we all have to spot the treasure by the stardust pic alright, but... have you heard about the needle in the straw loft? And a hint now can come handy I think (yes, I know. I have a big mouth!)
I know the needle...
ReplyDeleteI trid to connect the west with the east city and the south with the north city (4 corners of the world). I don't see anything special there (near a small village in Germany). And I don't see no connection with stardust yet (have not seen the film).
Since I will be offline for 2 days, here another small spolier for #4: It begins with FA..
rebus's hint:
ReplyDelete"It's actually a sort of "small area", not a business building or something like that. So, you need the name of this "area". I've made it this way so you could find it only through the picture..."
I was thinking we had to connect the cities too, but then he also said that we don't use the puzzles 'til we've found the place, right?
I've been following along with everyone, and have done 4 of the final puzzles, thanks for all the help! I'm totally stuck on the jigsaw puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand "the wheel" puzzle at all. I get that it starts with F and ends in I, but what do I do with it? If I have the little opening on F, I read FAILO, is that even close to a beginning? And then what? Turn it? Where? I want to keep doing the riddle, but this one is beyond frustrating me now.
ReplyDeleteIf someone could just tell me how the wheel works, I would super appreciate it.
mkganda, Put the wheel with the red F showing, read 1 on outside ring, (A). Move wheel to A on inside ring etc. therefore starts F A. Don't forget the hint "when things start to repeat"
ReplyDeleteOh oh, still stuck..... think I have the right sentence from the wheel but.... don't know how to find what it refers to.
ReplyDelete@Sally.... are you stuck with the pieces you had to cut out.... See one of the posts of Edgar and also a few posts later of (I think Mgkanda) they give you a good start... took me some time to make them fit eventually but then it becomes all clear.
ReplyDeleteIts the picture jigsaw I'm really stuck on, for days now! Anyone got any help?
ReplyDeletetestsite- You should be able to just google it.
Its the motto of a city
FINALLY GOT IT!!! Puzzle 4, that is. I know it's not exciting to anybody else, but BIG GIANT THANKS to @Sally!!! You explained it well!
ReplyDelete@testite when I googled the phrase, the second result was a city's wiki. Hope that helps a little. :)
mkganda- Thats great! Now can you help me with the picture!
ReplyDeleteI'm about ready to shred it!
curious...what were Edgar and testite referring to with the needle in the straw loft?
ReplyDeleteTHnx Mkganda and Sally.... I think i've got it know but... oh how I wish I could verify it!!
ReplyDeleteooh...not testite, it was Edgar and U.
ReplyDelete@Sally Don't know what I'm supposed to see. It was more bearable when I thought I was looking for a part of stormhold and maybe where it was filmed. Now that that's out, what is this "small area"?
I thought for a few that it looked a little like you were looking out from a tree hollow and came to find the Saint Helena (small island off of Africa) used to be called "Half Tree Hollow". Means nothing, but I have learned a lot playing this. Keeps it interesting.
Hmm...the wiki says it's just a suburb outside of Jamestown. lol...still means nothing. :s
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you Mgkanda.... It sure took us some time, didn't it....
ReplyDeleteStill have to start over with the other puzzle (39 lines etc.) But I've got time till late january don't I :)
@Sally... the picture puzzle is a mystery to me too... I only know it refers to Stardust..
Uhhhh Mgkanda.... what did you get then....??? Wish we could compare what we have found?!
ReplyDeletekeep the ideas coming! I'm totally out of them!
ReplyDeleteYou don't think its something to with Stormhold at all then?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Mgkanda.... got the same!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can remove it!!
THnx
@testite You're welcome :)
ReplyDeleteI'm most likely seeing things that are nothing but the "C" of castle looks slightly odd if you magnify it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I could give guided tours of Wall st.
This is what happens when your hunting for a clue too long! lol
@Sally LOL! I was doing Wall St. too for a while, then I started on the Berlin Wall and made all these fake connections with David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and how it was recorded during his Berlin Trilogy. Then it was checkpoint charlie, a famous checkpoint on the Berlin Wall...oi...dazed and confused.
ReplyDeleteChecking the C.
The "final goal" for Tristan and Yvaine was the sky, right? They became stars, which there are two in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThey also ruled Stormhold for decades, so it could have been the castle.
Or neither and it's actually referring to our final goal.
I think mostly I feel like the whole picture is what we need. Otherwise it would seem a little pointless to have us do the whole jigsaw, right?
Are those the sky pirates or falling leaves?
ReplyDeleteRight! So Stormhold then, in the land of faerie.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you see?
The guard, the castle on Mount huon, the slaughtered prince pub, the wall, the hole in the wall,the signpost, the chariot and the two stars.
It must be something to do with Stormhold! a
Oh and yes, I saw how it looked to be a slightly different color. The C, I mean
ReplyDeleteI thought leaves
ReplyDeleteEhm... @Sally?
ReplyDeleteIs that you? LOL, welcome to posting I guess! :D
Thank you edgar! Its meeee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteNow @everyone, I'd like you to know that Sally is (was or used to be) one of those thousands of EG24 not-posting users, and she first introduced me to this great game, so SHE IS the one to thank... or to blame!! LOL
Left for a while and you are brainstorming!!
ReplyDeleteThat's good....
Because of them becoming stars I thought of the walk of fame in hollywood.. related to film etc.
So checked that out but.....
@Sally and @Edgar.... that's super... then special thanks to Sally for getting Edgar on board of EG!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, nice to have you around Sally. Hope to make some progress here. I won't have the chance to play as much as I'd like... it's a terribly busy week for me (yesterday didn't play a single game at all the whole day!) I'm around though.
ReplyDeleteI wish I never found the blooming thing!
ReplyDeleteCome on Edgar, get the magic going, I've been stuck for days with no sign of you!
Redeem yourself!
And less chance of making a complete idiot of yourself following the brave clever people!
I got sucked into the vortex of the official movie site. Having fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked that too! Playing the silly games!
ReplyDeleteYou got anything from it?
