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

[Dragonpit]

Nope. Still don't get it. It's like someone shoved a monkey in my mouth and told me I had to shoot it out my butt.

That is exactly right, to do that though you need to cut the monkey up, chew it and give it some time to digest.

*thunk*

 

[Lizardon]

Firstly, thanks for the awesome challenge.

Secondly, I feel like a should apologise for guessing the last puzzle. I got to the book, and then tried all the games the author liked. Apparently there was more steps after that.

 

[SpiderHam666]

I can't figure out the robot or the guy under it.

It pains me to know that noone recognizes the robot especially since i used to love that movie... I really hope they aren't remaking it like i've heard. Military robots becoming self aware in the 80's? HILARIOUS! In the 90's? HORRIFYING!!!!

 

[Chronologist]

I don't want respect, at this point I'm just going to be disappointed in myself if I can't do this. Badges mean nothing to me, my self-respect does.

 

[SpiderHam666]

*Chuckle...

I think we might just have them this time, gentlemen. Took us until Day 5, true...but my guess is they all spontaneously combust long before they actually make it past the first step.

All things are going as planned. Release the chickens..

I wish you guys would stop clucking with us


*rimshot*

OH MY GOD.

MY FIRST GUESS.

MY.FIRST.FUCKING.GUESS.

I AM GOD. SCREW YOU ESCAPIST PUZZLE CREATORS, I BEAT YOU ALL WITH MY INFINITE LOVE FOR MATHMETICIANS, kind of ....[sub]That's a hint, now get working on it all those without the answer![/sub]

Oh, and thanks for the puzzles those who created them. They were all great!

EDIT: And don't be mad people who got it legitimately. I did do the work, I went to all the sites and I was looking at the mathmeticians when it hit me.

 

[ApeShapeDeity]

Oh, yep. Got it.

Walking away for a bit did me the world of good.

I had nearly the right answer like an hour ago. Now it's so obvious to me. Ung.

Bravo guys.

 

[Chronologist]

Well, this is it. I can't get 4-1. No, really. I CAN'T GET 4-1. Why? I guess I'm too stupid.

I thought this would be a fun mental exercise. I thought if I put enough effort into it, I could do it. I guess I was wrong. Now, every time I think about this site, I'm going to remember that I'm a failure. I'm going to remember how I got hints and tips and guidance, and I STILL couldn't figure out 4-1. It doesn't matter if someone tells me the answer or not, the point is I'm just not good enough to figure it out on my own.

Thanks for that, Escapist. Thank you for adding yet another thing to the increasingly long list of my shortcomings.

 

[FaceFaceFace]

I feel bad because I never posted on here till now. I was always about one puzzle behind the collective so my comments would've been pointless, but now that I'm done I've finally caught up. This was awesome and the escapists are awesome. Now its time to sleep.

 

[ayuri]

ok new strategy everyone choose a letter and try all the games in that section I call z
but in all seriousness this is not even a puzzle anymore its a scavenger hunt... cuz i suck at puzzles

 

[Kermi]

Gyaaaaaargh all that work and the answer... Awesome puzzle. Awesome, awesome puzzle.

Dude, let me offer some hints. Can you see the hidden letters?

That one wasn't so bad... cheaters do kind of prosper... sometimes.

 

[Volafortis]

He-he, got it.

It's funny, as I actually has just thrown it out as a guess in a previous puzzle, because a poster threw out a subtle hint that would've been blatantly obvious if it was this game, rather than what it actually was.

Have you figured out what you're actually meant to do yet? 4-1 was the hardest one for me, harder than todays. Once you figure out how to cipher, the answer is there.

Dude, let me offer some hints. Can you see the hidden letters?

NO. The colors come out wrong. Some don't come up at all. The Starcraft code does nothing. My Laptop is crap and I have no idea how to use my browser's preferences.

I got not one, but two different set of code answers from other forum members and NEITHER worked for the decoding process. NEITHER. They both give gibberish. I have no idea where to go from there.

I know nothing about codes and encryption. All I know is I failed.

I... I forfeit. You wanted to break me, huh? Well, you did it. You finally did it. Did it make you feel better? Smarter? Superior? Well, it made me feel awful, stupid, and insignificant.

Well, ignoring the different colors part, did you hit ENTER before and after the Starcraft code? I kinda had to do that for mine. I don't know about browser preference issues, though.

 

[Glamorgan]

Got it. Finally. I got it a while ago, but I entered it wrongly then...

 

[RandallJohn]

Here's a thing of hints for day 5... and they're all one word/symbol, because I want to be vague.

The day is over, the quest is done, and all's right with my world. Thank you to everyone who posted. I wouldn't have gotten half of these right without all of your help.
