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

[Phishfood]

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.

I had mass effect stuck in my head. Its REALLY REALLY easy that one though. I even had the damn game open and didn't get it though. The clue on the picture really is all you need.

Turn it 90 degrees and see.

It's that easy.

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

The writing on it... and the fact that it has to do with weapons.

 

[Sun Flash]

Just got 1. It helps if you tilt your head.

I love you.

Although I still don't get the 90 degrees bit :S I've never played that game. I'm dense. I thought the clue was to do with the game.

And thank you lovely people, Wouldn't have gotten 4 without yous, especially the guy who posted a link to the reviews section, That game never even occurred to me

I only managed to get 5 because

Spoiler: possible clue?

I saw an article on Gameradar (I think) where they specifically mentioned the guns were broken in that picture

Otherwise; Roll on the morra! I want me some Escapist Swag, [sub]even if you probably won't ship to the UK...[/sub]

God damn it!!!!! for an hour i thought that each word in that line has one letter of the game's name. DAMN my english skills.

 

[Susan Arendt]

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?

13

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

Oh, they get harder. I promise you, they do. Today's puzzles are just to give you a feel for the types of solving you might have to do.

You'll be cursing our names by week's end. Trust me.

I think I'll just curse you now in case I forget.

CUUUURSE YOOOOOUUUUU ESCAPIIIIIIIIIST!

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:

Spoiler

Take the clue presented to you seriously.

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.

You may have already read this, but i do believe post number 76 should help you. It sure did help me. And yes, now i kinda do see how you saw pacman.
But yeah, check out 76. If that won't help you, then...you'll figure it out anyways.

Honestly, no. I say by Day 3 you want us all dead in a ditch.

[DrunkMc]

Spoiler

I put into GIMP, turned it 90degress and couldn't figure it out, turned it -90 degrees!

Cooperation is going to be a must, ain't it?

Really, I think some of these were really hard.

Weeping little female sibling... Took me quite a while to figure out what a "sibling" actually was.

 

[hardband]

FINALLY GOT IT!!! YAY

 

[CrystalShadow]

I have two out of five so far... I will get them all, even if it kills me.
Solved puzzles one and three, GAH!

Any clues for number two?

Seriously? Two was the easiest one. XD

 

[Swaki]

phew, got 1, 3,4 and 5, and so far i havent played any of the games, well, i did have 1 installed but i never really felt like i played it.

and i agree with the criticism of number 5, its not a puzzle, there is no way to figure it out if you havent played the game.

Oh and some help with number 2 please, my brain doesn't work the right way

Spoiler

so far all i have figured out is that its not bioshock, which was the first thing that popped up with a clue like little sister, then i thought Crys little sister, as in devil may cry, it gotta be bayonetta, nope, number 2 is dumb ;(

Oh man you are so close. So so close, you were two letters wrong when thinking devil may cry. I really can't help you from there without ruining.

You're going the right way with twisting the phrase around. Merge the two words you got.

Voila.

 

[Da Joz]

YAY! All 5!


You'll be cursing our names by week's end. Trust me.

I'm cursing you guys now, why would you put this up during my finals week! Now I"m going to fail advanced dynamics.

 

[No Good Names Left]

Bah, number 3 is the only one I'm stuck on.

Spoiler

I did Alpha-Numeric conversion and got "Dvdrokai" Now I'm stumped.
