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

Dunno what I'm supposed to do with the Contra code for 4-1, but I have the blue and the green letters. Anyone fancy helping a brother out?

You just type it, but it's better to have your keyboard focus out of any textbox, or autocompletion and other browser stuff may get in the way.

Do you spell it out?

Spoiler

No, just type it as it is. There are keys for that.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Right, I need help with 4-1. I have 3 sets of coloured letters, I am aware of a certain mans cipher, but it still makes no sense....

 

[Tarlane]

Hm. I just started reading the news on the front page and I realized at some point during this week my brain must have broken and started making absurd leaps of logic.

Hint-ish for the later part of 4-1

Spoiler

The clue says to read the whole page, the bottom of the page says 'bub'. Bub makes me think of wolverine. Wolverine's name is logan. Logan just put up an article about a certain type of cipher. Its all so simple now.

Spoiler

It may help to research exactly how was the original form of that cipher. There are different ciphers that are called that today.

Gah I'm stuck on the Starcraft code for 4-1 and fuck the Contra code. Nevermind I got that code to work. (Yes I've been putting in spaces.)

 

[Yossarian1507]

YES! Finally! All D4 puzzles are done.

Thank you Escapist, I didn't fell that much accomplishment since graduating into university

Bring it on! I'm waiting for your final challenge!

Spoiler

EDIT - nevermind, misread your post

As for the Starcraft? I dunno. I typed it in without capital letters and with space in between and it all worked. Look the text code anyway, not many letters highlight after it, so maybe you just missed it...

Never mind I got all of the codes in now.

 

[MysteryMaid]

Omg, Day 4 done!
Thank God, but Day 5 is really gonna separate the men/women from the boys/girls.
I really hope I can get it after getting all the rest!

After you enter the 3 codes on 4-1 how many letters are you supposed to end up with? This could be where I'm falling into trouble, that and colour-blindness...

[vid87]

I just encountered this problem inputting the answer for 4-1. Just make sure....

Spoiler

you type it in EXACTLY how you find it. The blue letters are important

 

[DataSnake]

Any hint for what I'm ment to do with the code I got from 4-2? I'm schtuck!

Edit:

Spoiler

I put the code in as coordinates, but that took me to a national park in Russia! That can't be right!

You've already solved it! Just think:

Spoiler

Where is that park located?

Thanks, that let me skip the whole "faffing about with Google Maps" bit. For those of you in the peanut gallery still scratching your heads:

Spoiler

The location was news to me...

 

[Lizmichi]

Now.... for the last one on day 4.... God...

I'm assuming you mean of each of the 3 colours that appear?

if so

Spoiler

I'm only getting 1 blue no matter what i try

Could you be so kinda as to give me a clue for 4-2?

 

[pendragon177]

I still have no idea how to solve 4.2. Not that I'm complaining but I pretty much guessed and got it right. Helps that I had the game. But seriously, I keep reading about coordinates and dontn't know where come but I decide to write anyway.

 

[Ashcrexl]

remember how we were all complaining about how easy day 3 was? i think they heard us. i scrolled through day 4 and my brain literally shut down all conscious thought for about 3 seconds. i mean GEEZ. of course the solutions seem pretty straightforward in retrospect now that i know how to do them, but man. what a mess.

You three have PMs that need answering. *flips a table*

Edit: Thank you, Yossarian. Much appreciated. The others, answering my request is no longer necessary. Thanks anyway.

 

[DaRigger420]

with 4-2 in mind, I think I have most of it except...

Spoiler: might be a spoiler for some

what is going on in Africa???

You're not even close to the correct location.

I meant

Spoiler: spoiling again

what is the shape in Angola supposed to be? Everything else is a letter or number.

This has gone from being hard to enraging...especially when everyone else seems to be talking about something that makes no frigging sense to me.

Edit: and don't get me started on 4-1

Well the spoiler for what's going on in Africa is "Do they know its christmas time at all?"

- sorry, couldnt help the song reference, your in the wrong part of the world mate.

4-1 stupid non-lighting blue letter was tripping me up with my wording.
