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

[Jackhorse]

I've got 1 and 2. I thought 3 might have been the ol' A=1, B=2 etc, but dudr olai isn't a game I've ever heard of... And I have no idea what picture number five is...

You've got 2 letters wrong.

Unfortunately even the correct letters don't yield the answer... yet! Looks like no sleep tonight!

If I understand the question I still don't get the answer despite making vowel sounds haltingly at the screen. I'm starting to feel foolish

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I'm sorry, but I can't actually get number one.

Anyone have a hint that isn't

Spoiler

"Look sideways"

?

You may be looking at it the wrong way. Try turning it around. The Answer is right there, I just didn't figure it out right away.

You did get the puzzles, but the trick is in the hint.

 

[Jackhorse]

One of the only ones I got. Beautiful, watching someone else squirm like the space squid to my Jason Statham

Ah, but I've got it now... took about an hour longer than the others.
Damn, I feel so stupid.
But then, I do feel extremely superior when people say they struggle with puzzles one and three.
They were easy as pie.

Kinda a ZP clue (Watching all episodes of ZP now counts as cheating yourself if you understand that clue) Don't you bring up question three! I am still vowel sounding the screen

 

[Nannernade]

Ugh got 1 and 5 but 2 - 4 are annoying me...

I'm entirely hopeless at this.

Any more hints? Publisher? Year of release? Genre? Platform(s)? Anything?

 

[Jimtopia]

I facepalmed when I finally got #2... ugh. Now all I need is 5. Anyone have a good clue for someone who has probably never played the game it's from?

It's about as easy as anyone can make it for you

Spoiler

Look at the image sideways. In case of not making sense, choose the other sideways

It might even be saying too much already.

 

[Leopard]

O wow. Just got One. Never played it so didn't even think of it. Now to go drown myself in the bath... -.-

 

[GeorgW]

I finally got the all, but would have never gotten 2, 4 or 5 if it weren't for your clues. I had never heard of 4, never noticed 5, and 2 was just really far fetched.
Quote me if you need any clues.

I've done both...

3v3 doesn't really make sense?

Edit:...

I'm quite obviously dyslexic.

That would kinda be giving it away and I can't do that. It is a pretty difficult game to get into, but it is still pretty popular here and among members of the Escapist staff. Try reading the it aloud. If it doesn't make sense, switch it and read it aloud again.

No it doesn't, so go for the other sideways. It's there.

Yeah. I'm clearly displaying some form of mild dyslexia.

Spoiler

I was, for some reason, not realising that it wasn't alphanumeric and was, instead, just alphabetic.

 

[No_Remainders]

Yeah, I was looking at it the right way.

Spoiler

Just for some reason my mind thought they were 3s... Despite them obviously being backwards...

Yup. Thanks.


I feel like I don't deserve to be here though...

 

[Susan Arendt]

Honestly, no. I say by Day 3 you want us all dead in a ditch.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Though after some cheating use of stuff I've managed it through day one.

How'd you cheat? Asking folks for help isn't cheating - we absolutely encourage you guys to give each other hints.

If things get too hard, we'll provide hints of our own. We want you to have fun, after all.

Nah don't feel bad. I had trouble with all of them, especially one and two. I kept reading into clues too much and got completely lost. If it weren't for the Escapists in this thread I would be chewing a hole through my desk right now, or maybe even stabbing my loud German neighbours in the face.
