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

[Susan Arendt]

...Am sorry, I kind of did that by accident for Day 3 and I apologized for it plus corrected it. If I complete the Day 5 Quiz will I still be able to get a Badge despite I got a "Mod warning" on my post within the Thread? Just worried...

Of course you will. Just make sure when you give out a clue you subtle with it. Make everyone else feel the pain you went through.

Day 4 finished. Yesss. I think 4-1 is definitely my favorite puzzle so far.

Just to be nice and give a hint for 4-1 to those who might need help:

Spoiler

You're definitely going to need to give yourself some extra lives if you keep guessing the wrong answer.

You could also understand coding and look at the page source. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to do the second half yet.

But that takes all the fun out of it.

i tried that at first, (it worked for the fark Scott Pilgrim game) but honestly it's just easier to figure out the codes and look them up honestly.

edit: the second half involves yet another kind of code. much older than cheats and HTML.

 

[Susan Arendt]

Guys, these steps involves leaps of logic. If you spell it out for people there is no fun. On that note, if I have to keep editing post I'm going to start smacking people around.

YOU SAW NOTHING

Well, I did know the first one, and I googled the third, but I was for whatever reason hanging up on the second.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Ugh, I really don't know on these. If anyone could be kind enough to PM or quote me with a hint or 2 for both of them I'd really appreciate it because the stuff I've been googling is just going over my head

 

[The_Evermind]

Just figured them both out, 4-2 took a while to work through. Nice puzzles escapist crew.

 

[shadowmist1200]

ok ive noticed that a number of people are really having trouble with the 1st question on the 1st day and its driving me crazy so ill give a few hints hints (without revieling the answer directly) that everybody has to get.

Spoiler

1. adam and ___ , 2. turn your head literally, 3. a space game, 4. has nothing to do with heat or algerbra

 

[Daedalus1942]

Okay... so what is the deal with the north and south pole? Are they supposed to full stops in the word or what? I keep getting some retard upside and back to front "J" for india. I'm doing this wrong, aren't I?
I've got a "Z" and other letters, but alot of the coords don't even form letters for me.
I've gone back and forth multiple times checking the correct order... It's driving me insane >.<

Goddamn you, ThyNameIsMud. You might be a Primus fan... but you're cruel and sadistic!

 

[fallouthirteen]

4-2.

Spoiler

Letters aren't the only common symbols. Think of something else that looks like what you are looking at.

 

[Detheroth]

I feel really silly.. but 4-1 has passed right over my head.. i have tried entering

Spoiler

god mode cheats for mentioned games, game names and entering the actual code written down

and nothing has happened, i have even looked at the page source and found nothing helpful here.. could someone please pm on how to START 4-1 please? I blitzed the last 3 days.. but this is driving me mental.. Thank you in advance.

 

[Josdeb]

Phew, 4-1 done as well.

I think my "Puzzle Adventure" page had errors, because it started to mess itself up the more I went and I had to write down things because I stopped trusting the website version. Maybe it doesn't like my broswer or something?
Plus one of my letters didn't come up, so thanks to Invariel for teling me which letter I was short of.

Yeah I did the same thing a few times.

Spoiler

I finally noticed the color change in the text after entering each code a couple times while not in a text field or anything. Just highlight nothing (perhaps click in that jumbled letter field to be safe) and enter one of those codes you mentioned, look carefully at that letter field, and if you got the right code, the color of some letters should change.

Alright done, now i have my code.. looks like a simple cipher, thank you very much for that and to everyone who PM'd me.

You know, ThyNameIsMud, day four would get me really ticked off at you if your avatar wasn't such pure, unadulterated win.

 

[Detheroth]

OH WOW.. and that leaves 4-1 done.. once you make sense from the letter vomit it becomes quite simple. Thank you Escapist... This has given me an excuse to think every day!

EDIT: What program is everyone using to plot the points for 4-2? Or are we going back to pen and paper for this one as well?

I used the map plotting feature of google maps, it's probably far from the best but it lets you pin locations, draw lines, and locate areas so it will work.
