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

[The87Italians]

Finally got them all! Hints:

3

Spoiler

This game involves and unconventional method of flight

I must thank you, without your hint for number three I probably would have never gotten it. On to the next day!

 

[PrototypeC]

What? OK, I got them all. Um, not that I'm smart or anything... others were.

For number 3: The clue broke my brain. Ignore it. I don't even know why it's there. Everything else you need to know is here in the comments.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Goddamn! I've figured all of them out...

Except for #1...

Curse you #1!!!

EDIT: Finally got #1! W00T! Party at my house and EVERYONES invited!!!

 

[Thatguykalem]

For number 2: I thought it included the spaces and "," but nope. That's what was holding me back.

For number 4: Not a place for any clothes you'll need later.

#2 is just one word.

With #3, somebody gave the most helpful clue, around pages 2-4. I can't remember what page exactly, and I'm not going to reiterate it, 'cause that'd just make it too easy for you

 

[Nannernade]

Woohoo finally finished all five, some of them really stressed me out but after the hints and seeing things spelled out just made me facepalm

Here's a hint for number 3 if anyone is still having trouble with that one. It is half a quote from a Zero Punctuation episode.

"Stop making the game half way through..."

 

[guntotingtomcat]

GODAMMIT!!!!
I hate numbers!!

 

[burningdragoon]

Might have helped if I had played any of those games, but this was already hard enough (especially if I didn't come looking for hints). I will still come back for more though.

 

[Ashcrexl]

i got all except 4 on my own. for 4 i needed massive hints. pretty sweet. i expect everyone has given enough hints to everyone, so i'll leave it at this.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

phew, got 1, 3,4 and 5, and so far i havent played any of the games, well, i did have 1 installed but i never really felt like i played it.

and i agree with the criticism of number 5, its not a puzzle, there is no way to figure it out if you havent played the game.

Oh and some help with number 2 please, my brain doesn't work the right way

Spoiler

so far all i have figured out is that its not bioshock, which was the first thing that popped up with a clue like little sister, then i thought Crys little sister, as in devil may cry, it gotta be bayonetta, nope, number 2 is dumb ;(

You just gave me 2 with your random musings. Still working on 1 though.

Finally got it! WOO!

 

[Littlee300]

Here are some hints for all 5 questions, just for those still having trouble.

1:

Spoiler

The female robot from WALL-E if she was on the computer, or just tilt your head to the right.

Mod Note - There are hints, and there is bluntly telling

Change that to something like "Sometimes you have to twist and turn your head to get answer you wouldn't see otherwise."

 

[Samuel Adams]

As for #2, I'm sorry if this clue has been posted but

Spoiler

If you mention it, your computer will cry

Spoiler: This is probably a giveaway here

Yahtzee has a review of it

 

[wulfy42]

I finally got them all but the last one was REALLY hard to get it to take. I figured out the answer but couldn't get it to accept it (so I wasn't sure if I was right). That was annoying. Should have taken abbriviations of the game or parts of the game better.

 

[savandicus]

Got them all (With massive help from the clues here), 1 i got pretty quick since its pretty easy

2 is just plain annoying and the moment i thought of the game i died inside

3 never played the game or heard of it no suprise i needed massive clues

4 never played the game or heard of it not suprise i needed massive clues

5 never played the game but i have heard of it and a google search gave me the answer nice and quick

I dread trying the next few sets of these if they get any harder.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

3 was wrecking me till i read this, thanks.

also 1 took me an embarrassingly long time, epic facepalm when i clicked.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

EDIT: A double post appears.

Sgt. Dante uses 'hide with shame'

... it's not very effective.

 

[Dahemo]

Urgh just completed it. 1 and 4 had me stumped for ages. Help for those plugging along still:

1.

Spoiler

Forget about heat. Take a literal approach

2.

Spoiler

Said another way?

3.

Spoiler

You have numbers, you need a name. Do the math

4.

Spoiler

You don't want linen and lace because they would stain here

5.

Spoiler

What's he engraved "Sally" into? Almost characters in their own right in this game. Especially online

Tried to be helpful without handing it to you. Much more satisfying to get them yourself though! Not that I did, bloody 4...

 

[irequirefood]

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

Voila.

As soon as I read that, I finally got it. And then proceeded to say I hate you to The Escapist. Only got 3 and 5 to go.

Edit: Just 3.

Final Edit: Son of a- I hate you 3... You were so obvious and yet I never got you... But order has been restored. Onward with Day 2!!

 

[shadowmist1200]

hint for number 2

Spoiler

use a shorter word for sister and it is another name for a really bad circumstance.

 

[thalendiril]

Yay! I got them all pretty much due to this thread. I haven't played any of these games.

 

[rees263]

I give up far too quickly on these things. Luckily the handy hints provided by the community got me there without too much of a headache. I only got number 3 on my own. On 2 I was close and just needed time to bounce a few ideas around. I don't think I would have got the other 3 unaided (yes, yes easy when you know them).

If anyone reads this and needs help, all I can say is read the first few pages of this thread. There were loads of hints that even I found helpful, and I'm just useless at puzzles.
