i suck at these... but ill give it a try lol
ReplyDeleteAlready stuck on level 1 haha. I know what it means by "remove 10" but have no idea how that results in an answer..
ReplyDeleteMe too Alpacakay
ReplyDeletehaha we need HELP!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes the picture name have anything to do with it? ("decem.jpg")
ReplyDeleteI can see apossible answer by removing nine but not ten
ReplyDelete@Alpacakay: No, the pic name isn't a part of it. Focus on doing something with what's left over after removing what you are supposed to.
ReplyDeleteHey all, I'm here. I think it has to do with what letters you can make. But three of the letters I see are the same...
ReplyDeleteI think we have to remove the 'x's not necessarily 10 matchsticks... but still no clue as to the answer
ReplyDeleteI think I'm onto something. Remove some of the X's and reduce the space left over, you get letters...
ReplyDeletelol got it and then when I submit I get 404 page not found
ReplyDeletemaybe that just means I was wrong huh?
ReplyDeletelol, probably. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm trying every possible combination of Roman Numerals here. I get that much, but other than that I'm stuck...;/
So you think its strictly roman numerals, not letters? I'm just wonderin if we have to move the sticks around or just 'slide' them together if that makes sense
ReplyDelete@tritebs: yes that means you submitted a wrong answer.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking its all Roman numerals. But that last shape falls out of my pattern...
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to move the sticks around. Just use what's left over to get a four letter word.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, its not what I thought it was...or the other thing I thought it was...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Meryl: count
ReplyDeletejbg so that's a letter from each group?
ReplyDeleteWas i right in having to remove the 'x's? I'm still not seeing any letters..
ReplyDeleteI have at least two possible letters for the first three groups. The fourth one is confusing me...
ReplyDelete@tritebs: yes
ReplyDelete@Alpacakay: yes to you as well. The leftover sticks won't form the shapes of letters.
Are these letters lying on their sides? Upside down?
ReplyDeleteIs the word in order? ARRRRRGH nightmare!!!!!
So if the leftover sticks aint letters, then how do we make a word... totally confused right there with ya tritebs haha
ReplyDelete@tritebs: I agree with you that it is a nightmare. I'm probably going to stop playing this riddle now because the 2nd level wasn't any better than the first. Anyway, count to get the letters after removing the x's.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not following you @jbg...
ReplyDeleteI may give up at this first level...
1245?... still lost lol tried using the first letter of each number and even looked at the numbers as abstract letters.. hmmm
ReplyDeleteI don't play, just looked at L-1 & saw you're stuck already for more than 1 hour (! - I can't stand that LOL) - therefore some (more) hints:
ReplyDeleteremove Romans, remains=1-26=a-z & greetings from granmaa
☻
Hope, that helps...
@Alpacakay: A=1, B=2.... etc. The letters might not be in the right order. You need four letters from the numbers you have.
ReplyDeletewow... thanks so much ya'll. I was so close! haha didn't think about rearraging them :)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be abde? But its not...:/
ReplyDeletePOP! Finally!
ReplyDeletegot it, how very obscure. You need to anagram AlpacaKay once you figure out the letter connection.
ReplyDeletetwenty six ring a bell?
Uhhh, yikes @ lvl 2...
ReplyDeletelevel 2 looks like it has to do with your keyboard. numbers coincide with location of fingers. but no clue how to translate to answer
ReplyDeleteI have no idea on level 2.
ReplyDeletelevel 2: look at your keyboard
ReplyDeletelevel 3: leet (google it if you don't know what leet is)
level 4: good luck, this is where I stopped and I probably wont start again.
@jbg, i already figured level 2 had to do with the keyboard/finger location, but how do you "find them" still lost :(
ReplyDelete@AlpacaKay: forget about the letters and just count on your keyboard using the numbers starting in the upper left. You will get a 5 letter word.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Got level 2!!! Very sneaky :)
ReplyDeletethanks @jbg, but i actually found the word a different way... I looked at the letters in between the letter and number given :) Works either way tho
ReplyDeleteJbg I just hit level 4 come on back lol
ReplyDeletelevel 1 : remove the romans n count the rest n so A=1 B=2 etc !! lol n then anagram it to get the answer !! WTF lol what an interesting riddle !! it reminds me of the granmaa anagram riddle !! one more average wannabe trying to play the genius by creating this .. and i'm smart enough NOT to play this n to tell him u r god damned boring !! :D
ReplyDeleteNo one forces you to play riddles E-Addict and I for one appreciate the effort it takes to make a game for FREE and put it out there for people ..Please be nice
ReplyDeleteare the numbers in level 3 meant to be read upside down?... none of my letter combinations are working
ReplyDeleteI agree Clee. How did you get level three. I googled leet and found a decode site but it gave me a garbled answer I don't get. Any hints for a site?
ReplyDeleteYes upside down is the way to see it Alpaca
ReplyDeleteLevel 3
ReplyDeleteJust read the numbers upside down like 7 could look like L MAYBE *whistles
wow.. the reason i couldn't get level 3 is because the 9s upside down look like b's... I had to pretend the 9s were 6s...
ReplyDeleteokay clee !! good luck anyway !! :D
ReplyDeleteAlpacaKay thank you
ReplyDeletewelcome tritebs. that minor error had me stuck for a while.. now can't get level 4. I thought it had to do with "light as a feather" but no idea
ReplyDeleteWoo, a new riddle game! *dives in*
ReplyDeleteFor level 4 I can't find any hidden stuff and my first thought was a song because name of pic (stones) and the words heavy as a rock but nothing yet lol
ReplyDeleteClee is right, as always! Only play this type of game if you like this type of game. Have fun guys!
ReplyDeleteI tried metal from the same reasoning Clee but no
ReplyDeleteokay i dont like ' this type of games ' n i wanna try ' this type of games ' n say whatever i want to say about them !!! is this clear enough ????!!! :D
ReplyDeleteany breakthrough on level 4?
ReplyDelete... seems like some people don't know what to do with their time. I would never post so much on a game I don't like - I'd just go away and do something more interesting instead of wasting time and bothering others!?
ReplyDelete4 help?
ReplyDeleteNot so far AlpacaKay.
ReplyDeleteE-addict, crystal!!!!!!! You can say what you like but if some of us think you have nnot used good manners, then we will say what we like also.
I guess you don't like that you are finding the game challenging, we all get frustrated.
On a hunch, I tried the old "check the page source" trick...found something in there that caught my eye: a string of numbers.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed something in the source
ReplyDelete42, 56, 70, 126, 126, 196, 280 playing with that right now?
That's the string of numbers I found. One thing I noticed about them is that they're all divisible by 14.
ReplyDeleteIn weight measurements, 14 pounds is equal to 1 stone.
I think we may have a breakthrough here!
@sasbabe n others i recommend u people shut up n focus on ur " riddle " instead of trying to shut me up !!!!!! DUUUUHHHHH
ReplyDeleteIt is Multiples of 14 but gaps like 70 to the 126 leaves out 3 sets
ReplyDeleteconvert numbers to stones and granmaa...
ReplyDelete@E-Addict: You're not in the position to recommend anything - just watch your language and your manners, kid!
ReplyDeleteThat's strange. I was able to form a word from the letters I wound up with after all the converting, but that's not the answer...
ReplyDeleteGreat job Sasbabe looking at 5 lol
ReplyDelete@xaq: if you use the anagram solver from the main page you get some words - one of them is the answer...
ReplyDeleteTy, Clee - looking as well, but not sure what to do - draw a maze?
ReplyDelete@sasbabe seems i'm attracting u more than ur silly riddle !! :D if so just call me n we'll have something together !! or ... forget it .. u boring n incompetent !!
ReplyDeletegot it on purple hell, I think
ReplyDeleteAH! There we go. Alright then, on to 5, and all I can say at first glance is WHAT?
ReplyDeletefist word is clear - now trying the box
ReplyDeleteIt's a cipher on purple hell not one of my favorites lol
ReplyDeleteLevel 5: top pic has a name - search it on purple hell and solve it, gives you a 5-letter-word.
ReplyDeleteAnd that word seems to give a clue for what to do with the letter box - but stuck here...
great sasbabe !! this is the way u should have dealt with it from the first beginning : JUST IGNORE ME MISS ATTITUDE !! haha just have some self confidence !!
ReplyDeleteagain good luck Clee !!
If that first word something you make with a pig means the other cipher it has one to many letters ?
ReplyDelete@clee: good find, I'm trying baconian...
ReplyDeleteEUREKA!! On to 6.
ReplyDeleteFor #5: Converting the 2nd one into Baconian is the right path. Once you've got it into A's and B's, though, take a closer look at the A's. (I found that replacing all the B's with .'s made the answer a bit clearer.)
Aaaaand level 6 just -completely- lost me. o_O;;
ReplyDeleteIs it replacing vowels and consonants with A's and B's? Or pair and impair numbers, which didn't get me any further?
ReplyDeleteGood job xaq can't wrap my brain around the second part yet I'm trying lol
ReplyDelete@sasbabe: Baconian cipher translates each letter into a 5-letter A/B combination, working similar to binary. A = AAAAA, B = AAAAB, C = AAABA, D = AAABB, and so on.
ReplyDeleteWhen you translate that 2nd block into Baconian, you'll have a 5x5 grid of 5-letter sequences of A's and B's. Try looking at them in Courier font so they line up properly.
I think I tried everything, but obviously I didn't- my best tries led to bbase and bbare and fokon!?
ReplyDeleteand bbgre...
ReplyDeleteI almost made smoke lol
ReplyDeleteOnce you've got all 5 letters translated to Baconian (the cipher's on Purple Hell, if that helps), you won't be decoding anything anymore...it'll be more like a hidden picture, made out of the A's.
ReplyDeleteahhh - I don't translate the letters to a's and b's and then decipher it, but decipher the q's and p's and stuff - thx, xaq
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help. I'd hate to be the only one level 6 is completely stupefying...
ReplyDeletety again, xaq - was overthinking ;-)
ReplyDeleteXaq did you read them down or across? I can't get this right?
ReplyDeletePut the A's and B's like they appear in the 5x5-grid in the pic
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya Clee... I got it all converted to baconian but don't see any image in the A's
ReplyDeleteand then read across
ReplyDeleteOk got it! Thanks sasbabe! Once i seperated each group it worked :)
ReplyDeleteClee: I had them going across. The top row, QPPAP, became
ReplyDeleteABBBB ABBBA ABBBA AAAAA ABBBA
Then the next row went under that, then the next under that, and so on, until I eventually wound up with 5 5x5 blocks of A's and B's.
Level 6 - find the comics/charakters - find the nato-alphabet-words and ...
ReplyDeleteohhh nooooooo
ReplyDeleteI kinda figured that. That's where I run into a problem, though: I only recognize the top-center, bottom-center, and bottom-right characters. :[
ReplyDeletelol xaq I only recognise bottom right
ReplyDeleteI googelt the pictures - leads to SPOILER:
ReplyDeleteRomeo, Bravo, Sierra, Echo, Alpha, Charlie
With "braces" I seem to be close, as it says "You are missing something. Go back and try again!"
How do you google pictures?
ReplyDeleteTo google pics got to "pictures" and on the right at the "search-bar" there's a camera - click it and you can upload a picture...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help, sasbabe.
ReplyDeleteFound the bit it said you were missing: Which group's alphabet (and flag) was this again?
lol - tried only the first letter of it - onto 7 now - ty xaq!
ReplyDeleteThanks sasbabe, years of computer and internet and never knew that. It opens up a whole new world!
ReplyDeletetritebs I like this site also helps me all the time
ReplyDeletetineye.com
thanks ya'll for level 6. Not sure why the name of the alphabet was included... but ok...
ReplyDeleteFun playing with you all it's been a pleasure :-) I have to run now
ReplyDeletealright - bye clee
ReplyDeleteLevel 7 is source code. Trying to figure it out
ReplyDelete@AlpacaKay: I think the name was the "odd one in" - I also forgot about that title...
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right sasbabe, makes perfect sense now
ReplyDeleteFor 7 - I tried to subtract the words an I tried to apply source on each word - no progress so far...
ReplyDeletesasbabe, did you see the numbers in the source code?
ReplyDeleteyep - didn't help yet - maybe I'm weak in counting to 26?
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing the game!
ReplyDeleteNew clue added in source for level 7.
Thanks Chameleon! And thanks for the game! I'm not great at riddles, but i'm tryin my darndest haha :)
ReplyDeleteIf the numbers relate to letters, i'm wondering about -12... there is no l in any of the words. Any further sasbabe?
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone left... and i am not good at these at all. still stuck on 7
ReplyDeleteAlso still stuck... thx for the new clue, but doesn't help yet...
ReplyDeleteahhh- think I got it...
ReplyDeleteHi riddlers! Stuck on level 6. trying to anagram the first letter of the words including n, but don't have the answer.
ReplyDeleteOn # 7 - It looks like we might need to use the words like a math problem. take the word 'differences', subtract the word 'subtraction', add the word 'progression', and then add the numbers from the source page.
ReplyDeleteeach of the words is 11 characters long and there are 11 numbers in the hint on the source page.
Hi faltu, it's not only including the n, it's more...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sasbabe, got it.

ReplyDeleteyep, bri, that's it - tried it before, but must have made a mistake...
ReplyDeleteNot quite understanding your hint bri. I tried converting the three words to numbers then subtracting and adding, but I don't know where to go from there or it that part is even right lol
ReplyDeleteHey AlpacaKay,
ReplyDeletetry adding & subtracting one letter at a time. The first letter of the equation car-ant+ear would be solved by c-a+e. Don't forget to include the numbers from the page source.
@AlpacaKay:
ReplyDeleteDIFFERENCES
- SUBTRACTION
+ PROGRESSION
+/- the source
-----------------------
11 letters = solution
(First Letter is 4-19+16+2=c)
oh! So ya gotta take it one letter at a time? I was converting each word and then doing all the addition/subtraction at once and trying to make it work that way. Will give this a go, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAnyone having any luck w/ level 8 yet? looks kind of like bifid to me but I'm not seeing the solution.
ReplyDeleteOkay, mental break over, let's get back at this...
ReplyDelete(Thanks for the help on #7 everyone, on to level 8!)
@bri: not sure if this has got a name or so - I solved it intuitively...
ReplyDeleteOk... still am not getting level 7 for some reason. I followed ya'lls advice and even wrote it all out... Im comin up with the word 'convitional' which is not working... i tried anagram too and double checked my letters. Somethin is off. I just swapped one letter and got the correct answer... i think the math is slightly off for this one for the 4th character?
ReplyDeleteAlpacaKay, your v is wrong i got v too, then guessed the word.
ReplyDeleteAlpacaKey: You're 1 letter off there. Your math might've been off with the V...try changing it to another letter that makes an actual word.
ReplyDeleteThanks ya'll. i did get it after guessing the word, I really think they should check the math with that one tho. because i double and triple checked that v...
ReplyDeleteTried bifid for level 8, got "e p o i x a b n f", stuck.
ReplyDeleteI used a little intuition myself because I thought i was messing up the math a little. i guess sometimes v=d :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI did bifid by hand without using the web page and got a different set of letters. using granmaa, they make a word but it doesn't seem to work
ReplyDeleteI used "exploring" as starting point, and did it by hand too. Using chosen letters as starting point is nothing better.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteFor 8: the Box is a bit mixed up - take the word "explore", search those letters on the board and write down the letters that should be there instead (for example e=r). Then ask granmaa...
ReplyDeleteJust looked at purple hell - seems to be Bifid...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sasbabe, got it.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the solution on purple hell - just do it by hand: e = r, x = m, ...
ReplyDeleteThanks sasbabe but the transposition of letters your describing isn't working for me. I had tried just "chosen" and thought I had the answer but no dice.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I actually caught a live puzzle soon enough to play along but i think i need some sleep. good luck everyone!
You're welcome, now help me on 9 - got the stereogram solved, but no idea for what to enter... (feeling a bit kidded)
ReplyDeleteThe word is not explore but explor***
ReplyDeleteok - gn8 bri
ReplyDeleteI cannot see magic eye pics, so I think it's end for me.
ReplyDeleteIt tells you "stop wasting your time" and "get a life" - so maybe time to stop now ;-)
ReplyDelete@sasbabe, for level 8, how did you get that e is r? If i replace it with the letters on PurpleHell, i get e is s?
ReplyDeleteAlpacaKay, write alphabet in 5x5 square, and compare the positions, R should be in place of E.
ReplyDeleteI think Purple Hell does't work.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I did it:
First, mark the cells from "exploring".
Then draw the "right" box:
abcde
fghij
...
Finally search the marked cells and anagramm the new letters.
And remember it's explorING, not explore!
ReplyDeletethanks so much! I was tryin to use the one on the website, and it was not workin. on to 9 :)
ReplyDeletemorning thanks for all you wonderful comments i cought up ans now staring at level 9
ReplyDeleteGonna call it a night, pick up number 9 in the morning. G'night everyone.
ReplyDeleteGn8 xaq
ReplyDeleteso based on stereograms, are we supposed to see some sort of word in the midst of that jumbled mess?
ReplyDeletelol not sure i am now cross eyed, look at the picture name not sure how that helps, i tried to pick a word from each row to make a sentence but that did not work
ReplyDeleteWhat I can see are two blocks - on in the upper left, one on the bottom right. Top left is made of the words "stop wasting your time", bottom right is "get a life"
ReplyDeleteBut I can't see any "picture" or shape.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know what to do with that phrase...
Also wondered wether there's more than just the magic-eye-trick, but can't make anything out of the text.
ReplyDeleteAnd I looked at the differences near the "stop wasting..." and "get a life" parts, but that didn't help either.
ok i think i see something but not sure how to use it yet, read each line carefully you will spot some differences
ReplyDeleteThanks bigtank, i do notice several lines with some missing or added numbers. but not sure what this means. It seems as tho the top left corner and bottom right corner have the differences
ReplyDeleteThat's the 3d-parts "stop..." and "get...". No progress here...
ReplyDeletewell nothing with using the extra letters at all , no vowels ans loads of s , nothing from using the words they come from either
ReplyDeletedang, i can't see the 3-d words at all. Not that it seems to matter considering the message is getting us no where...
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on level 7!
ReplyDeleteThe reason for you getting a "v" instead of a "d" is that you solved it a little bit different than we intended when making it.
Walk in the alphabet, instead of changing to numbers.
When reaching A move on to Z if using "minus".
When reaching Z move on to A if using "plus".
For the 4th letter, you would start on a F.
Move -20 (-t) letters and you end up on a L.
Move +7 (+g) letters and you end up on S.
Move -15 (source code) and you get to the D.
For level 9: no need to be able to read stereograms to solve it.
Looks like no one is having any luck.. haha
ReplyDeleteI see you are quite stuck on lvl 9. It's really just to find the right place to look at. The url will have to be changed, so look for a web address.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chameleon for the explanation. Looking at 9 again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chameleon, level 10 now.
ReplyDeleteFor 9, look at exif.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm on level 10 now... I used some sort of exif reader, put in the pic url and clicked on some sort of link and now I'm at level 10... Not sure what the heck i did lol
ReplyDeleteIn exif info, there is a new link, just click it.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does the left picture on level 10 look like the right three combined?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are from greek mythology, from their initial letters and from the name of their foes i get two perfect words, but none works.
ReplyDeleteAlright - thought about some image stuff, but haven't tried that yet - thx for the "hint" ;-)
ReplyDeleteGot an egg.
ReplyDeleteme too - was it the shower? ;-)
ReplyDelete@faltu: if it was the "shower" then add the monsters and margana...
ReplyDeletelevel 11
ReplyDeleteGetting no where with the numbers.
ReplyDeleteGot it.
ReplyDeleteany other hints for level 10? I found the names of each monster and tried to anagram them and the first letters, but nothin...
ReplyDeleteFor 10, initials of the monsters and their enemies and anagram.
ReplyDeleteGot an egg on 11.
thanks so much for level 10. I never could have figured that on my own... i know so little about greek mythology
ReplyDeleteTried Beryllium for be, no go.
ReplyDeleteGot shaked by the egg at 11 - now what?
