Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

[Cat Cloud]

Bah, I give up. I've only gotten numbers 1 and 4, thanks to this forum, and neither of them are games I've played or even remotely considered playing. And I just don't like FPS much, so I probably don't stand a chance with any of the others...

 

[Jedamethis]

I got number 2, and I still have no idea what a cold directive is.

You know you can say something coldly? And a directive is an instruction.

 

[Jimtopia]

I am still stuck on 2 and 5. I'm fairly certain I've never played either of the games those two come from.

 

[thephill]

just got the last of them
i'd never heard of number4 answer so thanks for helping me guys

 

[SoranMBane]

I got 2 in about a minute (I just rephrased the riddle using more common terms and it jumped right out) and I got 5 thanks to some hints in this thread, but I'm completely stumped on the others.

 

[Spoon E11]

what platform is #2 on?

 

[MetaKnight19]

Finally got them all, thanks for the tips everyone put up here. I can't believe I didn't see the first one straight away. I had the right theory for 3 and I found 5 easy as pie, but maybe thats because the game case is on the shelf next to my chair. 2 and 4 still took me a while to figure out though but got there in the end. Thanks again for the tips, looking forward to tomorrow.

I only need 2 and 3 now. I hope I get them soon as well, it's going to take some time to get the bloodstains from my head off of the wall.

Edit: Got 2, and I probably would have never guessed it had my friend just texted me about it (not the riddle itself, just the game)

 

[thephill]

if these are the easy ones god help me at the end of the week

Here's a hint for those who don't want to type into Google:

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste, but also have some sympathy for me as I am a fortunate son and I will not back down until I solve all of these riddles and help all of you.

Number 5 took me all of two seconds to solve because I happen to have a poster for this game directly on the wall about ten feet behind me. Thanks to everyone else to gave me the clues needed to solve 2,3, and 4.

 

[Kiba The Wolf]

I finally got all five. God number 4 was killing for a long time, I kept rereading all the clues from all the posts on here, and I kept coming to the same game but it wasn't. but then lol, I had the right answer but I was spelling it wrong *Facepalm*

Thanks to everyone on here for the help

probably means you will own at day 5.

 

[lockeslylcrit]

You're going the right way with twisting the phrase around. Merge the two words you got.

Voila.

Man, I FINALLY got number 2, thanks to your hint (and the previous poster's twisting of words. I just facepalmed after I shouted out the answer because it was right there in front of me the whole time.

 

[4484448444844484]

I'm getting the distinct feeling that I've never heard of the game referenced in #1...

Spoiler

Also, the clue to #2 isn't helpful and doesn't have anything to do with the answer.

 

[HT_Black]

I got everything but 3. This was a fun way to spend fifteen minutes; thanks for the fun, guys.

EDIT: Actually, I got that one too. Good design. And for anyone who can't figure it out, just go to the store and by a new perspective-- they're a nikola a pop, so you Will be able to afford one.

I got number 2, and I still have no idea what a cold directive is.

You know you can say something coldly? And a directive is an instruction.

Neither of which seem to relate to the answer.

 

[Diligent]

Number 3 is making me feel like my brain is trapped in a deep black abyss.

 

[sindremaster]

I have them all at last:

Spoiler

2

Spoiler

My first guess was Far Cry and it took me ages to make the logical jump from here!

That was my first guess too, I almost hit my head through the wall when I found out the answer.

can anyone give me any more clues to #2???

Spoiler

you don't need the word little.

 

[Mr. Omega]

GOT IT! #s 4 and 2 were insane! The other 3 weren't that bad (I facepalmed for not solving 1 sooner, took me all of 2 seconds to solve 5), but those other two, 4 in particular, were infuriating!

But I think I did good. BRING ON THE NEXT PUZZLES! (I'm going to regret saying that...)

 

[Ziel]

Also, not sure how anyone who's never played 5 is supposed to know the answer...
