Rats - in trying to figure out who was pictured after Johnny 5 (who IS that, by the by?), I stumbled across a clue that solved the puzzle for me. Still, an amazing adventure, and hats off to the devious minds behind it!
Also (except for today's dead giveaway), many thanks to everyone for collaboration and brainstorming over the past few days! If only more people would come together like this to solve problems, what a remarkable world we would live in.

The problem is that the forum was being used for conflicting purposes: as a hint board, and as a place for people who were in the heat of the moment to communicate ideas. These two do not blend well. I think for the next puzzle adventure, maybe letting users get organized into groups that have a way to communicate efficiently, and leaving the forum exclusively as a hint board would be better.
Also, people should give hints for the puzzle, and not the solution.

Beautifully written. I got all the way to 5 without much help but that's where my luck ran out. How do you "go through the hole". I have the key, I assume what the door its but it remains locked. Help.Rycerzyk said:
Finally catching up on this thread now that I don't have anything to spoil and it looks like a lot of people actually skipped the last two steps even. They made it to see pictures and took a leap of logic(which I guess is partially what the puzzles have encouraged us to do). You can be sure though that the last step actually spells everything out for you quite plainly if you can get there.
Its all really well done.

Yes, it spells the whole answer, IF you can infer what the information means, and there are absolutely no clues for that. Not a huge problem, but all the previous steps had clues, if you paid attention.Tarlane said:
Yeah, if the black background would have been something more helpful that could have been good.
But, a small complaint honestly (It was supposed to be hard). I think the suggestion to split the thread up by day is more important
Maybe a picture of an atom or a molecule

Mogworld, but there is no clue where to go from there, coupled with the fact that I am the worst person in the world at puzzles makes me wonder why I am even doing this in the first place...
I don't really want to give anything away, but at the same time I'm tempted to help...
I'll try to give a hint or two, but i hope it won't give away too much.
You got so far, that's good. But i already said something in my previous post that you should check. I even marked it in this post. And I'll give you one number that has to help you out of this pickle: 1343. It's not something directly connected to the puzzle (more like, this thread), but has some great help. With these two, i made it to the next level, and you should, too.
I think I am now at the right place (article) I am going to read right through it and look at every detail... here we go!

you need to put cheat codes from games mantioned into that webpage (keep in mind that your webbrowser need to accept scripts, and you shouldnt type that codes in neither the answer box or shearch bar, just on the site itself), then you should get three colored letters groups in that coded part. Every colour is diffrent word, but coded with Cipher that even Caesar knows with the shift also mentioned in text.
Yay, I finally understand the connection between the puzzle and the answer.
The second last step left waaaaaaay too much open to interpretation, and the answer was way too specific.
The last step was simple to figure out since I already knew the answer, but even without knowing it is definitely more straightforward than the previous step.

No they didn't. There's absolutely nothing indicating what those initial numbers are for, and there's absolutely nothing telling you to go to either external website. You don't get anything resembling a hint about what to do with the information you have until the url literally says answergoeshere.Tarlane said:
It's pretty funny that no-one realized my blatantly obvious clue a few pages back...
Seriously I practically gave the answer away and no-one mentioned anything ,heehee.
I really thought it was quite a capital idea xD.
Oh well, guess I'm off the hook from mod wrath ^.^
