I cant get past page 6. I give up, i even tried to cheat and use a walkthrough but i couldnt find one. stupid friggin' hard dumb game!

Seething · 11-28-2004, 05:43 PM

This is either one of those "scary images that blast loud music at you in a dumb attempt to make you jump" kind of pages, or an actual riddle. Either way, I'm not even going to try.

Echodork · 11-28-2004, 06:04 PM

It's an actual riddle. I hate those scare-the-crap-out-of-you pages.

Me too. I think you're supposed to name the thing in the picture. I don't know what it is exactly, and whether you write it forwards, backwards, in German...

CityOfAngels · 11-28-2004, 09:15 PM

I hate this game. Only got to page 8 and quit.

Echodork · 11-28-2004, 09:32 PM

What did Twix used to be called in Germany? *hint hint*

FngKestrel · 11-28-2004, 11:11 PM

Is that supposed to be a german twix wrapper?!

Thanks. Now stuck on page 8.

This is vaguely reminiscent of Treasure Quest. Didn't have much luck with that game either. Decent soundtrack though.

Echodork · 11-29-2004, 12:13 AM

I dunno, I gave up on trying to do this puzzle for real. You have to have too much knowledge of coding and photoshop, not to mention the ability to make some very great leaps of logic, in order to solve it. I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to take a legitimate go, but some of those puzzles are just absolutely ridiculous. The early screens are fairly whimsical and fun, but as for the entire collection of puzzles (I got as far as #57 with plenty of help from spoilers), I don't think any one person has the knowledge or ability to solve them all.

But, I guess, if anyone wants a hint on any of the puzzles, let me know. I've seen the spoilers up through #60, so if you want a tasteful but not-too-revealing hint, reply here and I'll try to think of something clever. I've already ruined it for myself anyway.

Ishmal · 11-29-2004, 12:40 AM

this sounds interesting... i'm gunna check back 2morrow and have a look i think. cause i only have twenty mins to spare now and i don't think that'll b enough...

That was a twix wrapper? It could have been anything! Unless there was a secret twix... Bah!

Number eight makes my brain tickle.

Bratwurst · 11-30-2004, 06:55 PM

I started playing this today at work, got up to page 6.

Xirax · 11-30-2004, 08:30 PM

Perhaps using Linux/Firefox isn't the way to go with this. Got to level 3 but am now confused/annoyed.

Meh.

MahlerIsGod · 11-30-2004, 08:42 PM

I too get to level 3 but there is nothing on the screen to click on any browser I tried (even IE). Oh well back to WoW.

Coppertop · 11-30-2004, 09:08 PM

Bleah, gave up on #4

Kadath · 11-30-2004, 09:28 PM

I am irritated by number 4. Spoiler: I know about early death, but I don't see any place to put a password or user name.

YaWhateva · 11-30-2004, 09:53 PM

lvl 3 Spoiler: look at the url, all of the first pages say true instead of false, change false to true.

Echodork · 11-30-2004, 09:56 PM

Wow, you people aren't trying very hard. The first thing it tells you is that this is not a point and click game, and here you are, saying you can't figure out where to click to put the password in :P

FngKestrel · 12-01-2004, 01:57 PM

On page 10. Page 9 was cool.

Very interesting, but I got stuck at level 7.

"Try all to get to the next screen, no matter what. It's no point and click thing!"

I think he meant "who said I can't find the place to click to put in the password," which I suspect was taken from my complaint about not being able to figure out where to enter the password. I've played with the URL a bit and checked both the source and the javascript, and am still unable to figure it out. At a certain point, it becomes not worth the effort; I have better things to do with my time.

Yup.

With some prodding from FngKestrel I got to page 6 (I think) before giving up. Too much effort for so little reward. 57 pages? I cannot imagine how long that would take.

Coppertop · 12-02-2004, 12:42 AM

Ah, I just now read Kadath's spoiler. That 'splains it.

Echodork · 12-02-2004, 08:00 AM

Took about 3 hours. The first 6 puzzles are the hardest, because you don't know how to think about the puzzle yet. After that, it becomes easy for a while. I had to refer to a spoiler for some of the puzzles, because some require Photoshop or audio editing software, which I just don't have access to.

Fun puzzle, but not for ADHD types :P

dbc · 12-03-2004, 01:29 PM

stuck on #7. . . maybe I'll try it again later.

FngKestrel · 12-03-2004, 02:07 PM

Just got page 10. On page 11.

Fate · 12-03-2004, 10:35 PM

stuck on 7 here, got the numbers, just not sure how to use them.
They're not binary...
I even mapped them out using paint, see if there's an alternative button, no go. Or I'm just not mapping them out right.

Echodork · 12-03-2004, 10:42 PM

Fate: Maybe looking at an ASCII table would be of interest to you.

Fate · 12-04-2004, 10:24 AM

Got it. thanks.

Munku · 12-04-2004, 01:32 PM

Damn you have to use photoshop and ascii tables for this shit? Heck no I hate puzzles at it is!

FngKestrel · 12-05-2004, 04:26 AM

Echo, I need a hint for number 11. Totally at a loss. Thanks!

ShaniFaye · 12-05-2004, 05:40 AM

ok Im retarded I cant figure out the user/pass for #5...I think its got something to do with google but Im not sure?

YAY I figured it out...Im not as retarded as I thought

ShaniFaye · 12-05-2004, 07:51 AM

Did anyone get #10? I've tried my sound recorder everyway I know how and Imgetting no where

ShaniFaye · 12-05-2004, 09:35 AM

Look at the source, of course, of course.
See anything interesting?
Have a look at that image.
See anything interesting in the image?
Make sure you're looking at the proper image...
