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

[Susan Arendt]

And another mod note

As I've said throughout this thread, please do not give away the answers. These puzzles include leaps of logic and when you spell it out there is no leap. So start leaping and stop spelling.

And if all else fails, if you think your hint is too obvious (as many of you have written) don't include it.

I genuinely feel sorry for you people come midnight. The Surgeon General warns that Day 5 has been known to cause seizures, blindness, and in extreme cases, death.

So far, we've been really impressed with how respectful you guys have all been, but there have been one or two people here and there who just don't seem to get it. Hints are great - we're positively thrilled with how you've all been helping each other, and genuinely impressed by how clever some of your hints are. But if anyone who spoils this final puzzle for everyone else participating is going to soar right to the top of our Least Favorite People list, and you really don't want to do that.

thats just a bedtime story they tell naughty little nerdlings to make them go to sleep that is purely based on superstition just like USB fairy and binary code elves

Just came to say that some of these games have been obscure as hell, and these puzzles are all absolutely amazing. Stumped me and my family for an extended period of time before I thought to check this thread. Thanks to all you guys for the amazing clues. Can't wait for day 5.

Yeah, this quiz has been my crack for the last day and a half. Now I'm jittery for my next fix.

Ohhh, I know it'll probably kill me, but I got my brother into it as well, so at least I won't die alone...

Some of these puzzles have been worse than the time I welded up a steel box, put my friends birthday present in it, padlocked it and made the combination a messed up algorithm (devised with the help of an astrophysicist mate) and gave him that. Took him ages to get into it.

P.S. Escapist, I'll thank you guys now (I know it's time consuming to make this stuff)... before I see the last puzzle and want to kill you. *MWAH*

I'm getting the same feeling for this that I got as a kid on Christmas Eve before I got to open my presents.

Except this time, my present is coal. And it's on fire. And my dog is dead.

Allright, I have finally completed all of the questions up to and including day 4. I'm eagerly waiting for the release of the final question in 2 hours. If anyone wants extra hints just message me or quote this post.

Okay, I busted out laughing when I read this.

i love these puzzles....but i need more gauze to stop the blood from pouring out of my ears..

 

[cobra_ky]

i'm debating whether to stay up and try to be one of the first solvers, or just go to bed and think about it while i'm stuck at work tomorrow.

probably the latter.

Seriously, I know the answer for 1. I have it. It isn't working though. (Got the colors and put it through a cipher, and I have a legit game name. But it isn't accepting.

EDIT: nvm, had a V instead of an X, lol

And that's it for day 4!

Well, that didn't spoil ANYTHING.

I am so ready for day 5. BRING IT ON!

There are so many things that what I just said could possibly mean, it won't cause any revelations to ANYONE. There are far more telling things posted in the thread without tags. (Seriously, they've already explicitly said Caesar)

 

[DiMono]

haha "stop cheating you little &#$%" Nice. Figured out what to do before seeing that though.

Wait, where does that show up? I missed that part.

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

sigh 4-1 the only one i cant do

Likewise. >_<

 

[Yomandude]

It's almost up now. No more talking for me. Solve first, ask questions later. I won't post again until I have this thing.

 

[Josdeb]

I'm so keen for Day 5, but I'm goiong away soon, so I'm hoping I can solve it in about half an hour.

Ha, ain't gonna happen.
I'll do it when I get back tomorrow
