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

[Ren3004]

And that's Day 1 done. I pray that tomorrow things get harder...

Why did I say that?

Calumon: I think you're empty in your biiiiig head!

*smacks Jack in the head*

Teach him, Calumon! XD

YAY! All 5!

Thanks to everyone who helped, and the friendly people at Google, although I am ashamed to say I have only played 1 of them :/

So far I've only played one of them to. How many letters does the answer to #4 have?

Sadly 5 is not a puzzle. It's a google search. Unless you've played the game personally.

Or seen the promos and have Asperger Syndrome. Which I did and do.

Spoiler: Letters in No.4

13

Also, the first letter if you need:

S

This was surprisingly fun! Thanks, people who did this!
And i am quite grateful for some of the hints given. I think some hints already presented in this thread will make it too easy to answer, but that's just my opinion.
The first one made me facepalm since it's actually so easy (and i still didn't figure it out fast).
The second one really made me facepalm. Took me a while to get this.
The fourth, i guessed the second half of the word correctly, but i could NOT remember
the first part of the name, even though i KNEW it and once i even saw a video about it.
the fifth i got thanks to the help of Google.
This was quite fun indeed, looking forward to the next bunch.

Need 3 and 5.

3, I've got 'Draw Idol'? 'Aid World'? Never heard of any of the games an anagram site definitely didn't give me because I didn't use one. Honest.
>.>
<.<

5, haven't the foggiest.

 

[Marmalade]

Finally got them all but I've never even heard of number 3.

 

[Swaki]

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/]?

man, i was stuck on that puzzle for ever, i looked at your hint and in one second i had the answer, stupid letter games, i kept trying to find music games.

5, haven't the foggiest.

3 - Your letters are off.
5 - I managed to get it through a Google search... It certainly looks a lot like a gun...

 

[The Wykydtron]

Fucking finally finished it with no help (was certain the 1st one was either Other M or FEAR Perseus Mandate so was stuck for a while.) Bring on Day 2!

Check your math. You are close, but not quite there.

5, haven't the foggiest.

In number 3, you've got one two letters mistaken. Redo the task.

Then the anagram site you don't use totally will not give you the correct answer.

For number 5, the best hint is that it has to do with a weapon. A quick search should do.

 

[Nannernade]

Wow I must be an idiot or something I'm stuck on number 1 I could have sworn it was Pacman but apparently that's not the right answer. I want you people to look at that picture and tell me with a straight face you don't think of Pacman.

 

[Buck Wilde]

Remember that scene in The Shawshank Redemption where Tommy flips out after taking the test? Pretty much what I feel like right now

 

[airplanedude550]

Thanks, Escapist! I give two thumbs up for this!

 

[wkim564]

Damn it I still need 2

Any helpful hints, the ones thus far haven't helped me too much

Well 3 has made me question my intelligence. >.<
Got it now.

Still no idea for 5 though. A Google Search of what? :/

I did not think of Pacman. Honestly. My mind was blurred by M&M's. I don't know why, they aren't even a game, but damn them nevertheless. Clouded my thinking. But eventually i got it.
And if you haven't gotten the answer, then:

Take the clue presented to you seriously.

 

[DrunkMc]

For the second one,

Spoiler

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

Thank You!

I still haven't gotten one, I have gotten them in reverse order, 5->4->3->2->???

I looked at it sideways, upside down and all around. I suck at these puzzles, cause I infer meaning into what I see, and keep it there even if it doesn't warrant it!

 

[Guest_Star]

Man, how I detest puzzles like nr 4.
When it's not your own language, and you don't happen to see it right away, it's just fecken bruteforce, innit!

And that's the way I bloody well solved it as well. Set up a loop for pickin out chars from the string and ran it a couple of thou times untill I finaly got something resembling a word.

Doesn't really help me but oh well lol. As for the Pacman thing the M's look like the ghosts and the < looks like Pacman.
