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

I'm still stuck way back on the review on Amazon. I just don't know where to go from there.

 

[Cpt. Red]

I got it, and the connection is kind of there, but well done to all who've gotten it so far and to the rest keep at it! Of course, obligitory hint:

Oh god that was it. I can't believe it. One of my favorite games, no less. Brain addled by too much sleepyness. Thank you, and good night.

This post is what made me figure out what game it was.

 

[Luhrsen]

Wow, one of the hints helped me FINALLY get the answer. But I still can't see how I was supposed to make that last jump without one. There were so many other things that tie in better. And I still can't get the other page to load even having gotten the right answer. >.>

As far as that goes my favorite game would have matched its actual game title better to the final solution.

*bangs head against wall*

4.1 , 4.2 and THIS ROTTEN ONE are driving me crazy!

 

[LinedGoat]

Ok, I think I understand a part of 5-1
...

Spoiler

Numbers?

But I have a hard time understanding what some of the pictures are aiming towards.

Edit: Also, who's the actor?

 

[i am not god]

Aww man, wish I could have been here when the hardcore were going throught the puzzle. damn the different time zones. Got all the way to throught the hole (hope that's ok) but now I'm stuck.

Still can't get 4-1 either.

Screw what I said about not posting. Here's the things I know:

Spoiler

9 tails
7 dwarfs
6 sides stop sign
?
Robot
?
Guy high-fiving some mammal
Octopus
Two Chicks
Rocket (Apollo?)
LOTR
Dante's
Two-Face

Illuminate me on the ?s, please.

Seriously what's with the ? after the stop sign? That's Trent Reznor from NINE inch nails.
...
-Tabs<3-
the octopus would be 8 I imagine?

 

[GrymZero]

I don't feel guilty about adding all the hints up to solve the puzzle now, because i've never played that game before. Maybe I should go get it now.
And I find it amusing how I've tried entering this game multiple times for yesterday's puzzle. Oh well. Now that's over...I have to start closing all the various tabs that were required for this ONE puzzle.

Hint:

Spoiler: A little obscure, but if you know what the phrase means..

Decay over time.

I love you so much right now x.x I spent two hours...TWO NARFING HOURS trying to figure out what the last clue meant, but this...this finally made it click in my head.

Oh and, side note: My brain is now made of porridge. Kthnxbai. Now, I'm going to go to bed. Wake me up when the world stops being all blurry and painful to look at.

 

[Leonhart321]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

GOT 5 FROM CLUES IN FORUM AND RANDOM SEARCHING.

SO CRUEL.....and I still have two more

 

[Gabriela D.]

EDIT: Lemme try that again:
I'm listing the guys again, revised.

Spoiler

Ninetails, 7 dwarfs (should be dwarves, but whatevs), 6-sided, the One, robot (#?), Also #?, Awesome #?, Octopus (Latin 8), 2 girls (I really hope that's not a cup), Apollo 13, the One ring, 9 hellgates, and Two-Face.
Numbers are 97815??82,13,292

Spoiler

The robot is from a movie called Short Circuit. His name is Number 5. It also had a sequel, Short Circuit 2. Thank you, Nostalgia Critic!

 

[Caobie]

Got day 5....after several hours of following the clues and the forum for help with what i should try next i finally got it. i would have maybe found it sooner if a certain thing had acctually shown up on a certain part of the process. stupid holes not liking to show up when needed.

[Edit] i would give a hint to those of us not done yet but all i can say is look back in the forum. the past is the key to the future.

 

[Thatguykalem]

I have a feeling that everyone with that new badge will get A LOT more respect now

And I've only been here for 5 days. Sounds good ;D

 

[Leonhart321]

*breaks wall*

Stupid spelling on 4-2

Now just 1 to go. Any help for 4-1 appreciated

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

Gar my brain just melted but I finally got there >.< Now back to the real world!

 

[Japester3k]

I finally got it, my brain aches but it was worth the effort!

I hope there will be more puzzle adventures in the future. (please please please!)

 

[GeorgW]

Ok, I need some help here with 5:1.

[Hashime]
