I think I have got the idea of how to put in the code... but not getting through... probably some miscalculations... i am considering the previous mail also... should it be or not?
@Arpit Bhandari Please note that storyline matters. If you've been following your progress through the game so far, then you should be able to get through this. Best of luck
Hint for Clue 1 "Reaching Out" You need to combine 3 elements of the message 1.) JOB 314 2.) A certain movie 3.) A certain person a you need to contact (could be a person a character in the movie contacts based on 1)
Shadows: has the ciphertext something to do with someone typing on a typewriter in the dark and hence garbling it or the keys of the typewriter being interchanged or am i complicating it too much and is actually a simple code ?
@Arpit! Well i have progressed in the game by pickin up a lantern on my LEFT then takin the first LEFT, 2nd RIGHT, 2nd LEFT, and then another RIGHT and LEFT and am now facing a door on my LEFT and a passage on my RIGHT!! Dude!!! can u just tell me the number of figures i need! It will be a great help!
Ok guys! I am giving up! Not getting the Behind the bookcase clue! Either its too complex or just stupidly simple! I have had enuff!! All the best to the rest!!
I just started the game !..awesome show carpe :) Its too late to crib but still ..some poor guys who are still on exchange will miss out on the event..like I am coming back on 22nd :(
@ Ma-N!che nahin yaar... there are some clues... like "some page"... "thanks" misspelt to make number of characters equal... it seems that what you are trying to do now... solving the code... might be futile...
@rainass.. when you type out in very low light... you tend to type incorrectly... mix up the words... just find cues from the long words in the code...
@ Manjula and SKare CRo The alternate "direction-ed" steps you are taking should be the ones in which you have entered/opened... dont count the ones which you havent entered/opened... I think this will solve your problem in 5 steps!
@arpit: do you mean mix up the words or mix up the letters? have tried replacing letters with similar looking letters and letters that are placed nearby on the keyboard. i hope the number of letters in each word is correct
@moderators heyy i hav one query plz answer...ASAP after "behind the bookcase" ive got "the library" but others seem 2 hav got "devils journal" wat is happening?? plz tell me im not able 2 play...
@Xtra Mile You've entered the correct answer to a question that occurs later in the game. You won't be able to proceed from there. You need to figure out the correct answer to "Behind the Bookcase"
@ Hackie Chan and skg... I love the pain and suffering you all are undergoing in the Journal of evil! :D :D
@moderator... hint for the Keeper of Time plz... I have tried everything from constellations to greek and egyptian calendars to solar clocks to octal/binary number system and all... :|
ok ... a single integrated puzzle .... is it a device from recent times? i think i have stumbled upon something with a striking coincidence to the puzzle
@ Xtra mile... it has been a day and an afternoon over it... Keeper of Time... obviously there was sleep and classes and all in between... but i have come up with so many interpretations that I myself am surprised... :(
Keeper of Time ..... i have got what u meant by a "single integrated puzzle" (nice one, btw) .... I also have got what are we talking abt here ..... i also have got many options but dont know which one is the right answer ... tried them with different combos of email ids .... none worked! :(
also, i got ur reference to the "tables" and the outer bright red ring ..... and of course, the clue from the puzzle "But was there a point setting the time on a clock that no longer worked?"
@mods thanks....... but...nothings working the word we got 4m the prev level....how 2 use it? n conc circles!!! hav com up wit lots of ideas 4 that one :)
Misnomer was the first one to crack "Keeper of Time" at 7:25 P.M. on 15/12/2008. This was the last clue in Chapter 1 of The Game. He is now at "The Man in the Room " - the first clue of Chapter 2 of The Game
For Killer..err.. Keeper of Time ;)... The clue I can give you all is that you have 3 things to connect... find out the fourth thing... and connect :)... all other hints are given in this forum!
@Udbhav You asked us to "pay really close attention to the X's and the fact that they are of the same length." Will it be too much to ask what you mean by equal length!???? ;)
@arpit we r confused regarding the conc circl thing plz post a solid hint then del it immediately if u want 2 we r gettin frustrated here!! somthing on the conc cirl plz its 12 hrs now :(
The problem is that I use a macbook, and there is no google-earth for it. Hence M finding it difficult to identify the co-ordinates for the place. M trying nevertheless!
dnt see the clue, the clue sucks...just try to make sense of the words. U'll be able to make out very common words from the garbled text, then just make some sense of the sentence

@xtra mile
ReplyDeleteVersion of chart is not necessarily relevant as long as you know what the chart is for and can link it to other elements of the puzzle.
@Mods

@varun
ReplyDeleteeven im confused
did u also find out the same charts but diff versions? like i did?
@ Xtra mile
ReplyDeleteI think the different versions should not be used... the older version does not have the required format...
