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

[zombiestrangler]

Wow, hurts when I feel like I should get the clue that others did on 1 and 3. Oddly got 2 and 5 easy lol.

Follow the instructions on 1, its quite obvious when you realize about it.

Thanks alot. It was too obvious. Helps to write it down. Only 3 & 4 now.

Same here, and I've got some people saying the clue for 4 is helpful, others saying it isn't. I'm thoroughly confused.

Think of a recent game where you wouldn't wear something made of linen and lace.

Ok that brings it down to 40 some titles.

A building where you wouldn't wear linen and lace then.

That's as obvious as I can make it without giving it away.

That was actually very helpful. Thank you my good sir!

Yay I'm helping!

Got any hints for number 3?

Unfortunately I'm still stuck on that one.

The trick to this one is writing down the letters and seeing every possible word they make.

I thought it'd be something like that....ugh, I hate those kinds of puzzles.

1 and 2 are pissing me off to no end.

Finally got number 4. The hint given... sort of makes sense in retrospect, but it doesn't if you're trying to figure out the title. The same goes for the string of words you have to work with.

If you need a hint:

Maybe check out some the recent game reviews [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/reviews/]?

Thank you for that, finally got 4.

Or just find a website that makes anagrams out of collections of letters.

Ta for that one mate. Would never have guessed it otherwise.

 

[Tarlane]

Huzzah!

 

[watshisname08]

I have everything but 1 & 4. Anyone wanna give up a few clues...maybe a developer or publisher or even genre?

 

[-CarcharotH-]

In my case I wouldn't have gotten 4 if it wasn't for that clue.

Dito, but it took quite some time.

3 really baffles me, though...

EDIT: It just hit me. It's something like a

lightless abyss

, I guess.

 

[erbkaiser]

1 has got me stumped. Got the others after some thinking (4 was a lucky guess), but I am just not seeing #1 at all.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

1,2,3 and 4 are completed. Number 5 is kicking my ass though...

Wow....not heard of that one til now. I had no chance without that. Now to figure out #1.

1,2,3 and 4 are completed. Number 5 is kicking my ass though...

I resorted to google and got there quite quickly with 4 keywords.

 

[Mumorpuger]

In the meantime... thanks Miss Susan, and all the rest of the Escapist Staff! This is a lot of fun.

Wow... heh, I came in here expecting puzzles and I got puzzles.

But yeah, too stupid to understand any of these. Still working, but im batting Zero and this is unlikely to change. No need for hint though, this is some tricky stuff Escapist, and seems people are getting a blast of it, and these are just the easy ones...

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Got five.

When two words seem to do, push them together to form this clue.

I get the

Spoiler

Cry, little sister (?)

bit, but the clue doesn't help.
Number four confuses me as well.

Push harder, it's only small.

For Four, remember to mask out the letters you don't need, or you'll be throwing the furniture around.

3 and 5 are the only ones I have though.

Oh, thanks for that. Finally got it now!

MWAHA! I have it!

It was a bloody hard one though I've never even played the damn game

Now for the other 3...

 

[Randomspike]

Dito, but it took quite some time.

3 really baffles me, though...

Somebody inadvertently gave away a massive clue for that question on the first page.

 

[zombiestrangler]

Just got 1. It helps if you tilt your head.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Five is easy.

Spoiler: Clue

Activision.

The rest, I have no idea.

It's not, but, due to your help, I got it with a sheer blind guess.

Spoiler

Really, I love the game but I never noticed that, ever.

 

[Darth IB]

Yay! Finally got them all! I found all of them to be fairly reasonable except 4, which I struggled and struggled and struggled with, but finally got after stalking this thread a while.

Thank you, I finally figured it out.

Thank you for that, finally got 4.

For the first one, focus on the 90 degress.

For the second one,

the sentence can be rewritten as Cry, Little Sister. Then shove the rewritten sentence together.
