Small Strife is a, 60 levels, riddle based game created by SmallTool for EG24. This is the real deal you've been practising for the last four days. No, fancy riddle stuff like exif, source, picture manipulation, url things etc. etc. Just your brain and basic riddle tricks. It will start easy (especially when you played the 4 prequels), but will slowly get harder. Anyway, have a lot of fun with it and help each other a lot in the comments but...Note: Please do not post direct answers, start with hints and after that big hints or even very, very big hints!

Check your countries - you should have 7
ReplyDeleteI think I blew it somewhere between typing in the answer and hitting 'enter'. It totally worked the second time :)
ReplyDeleteEnzed: leave your words in the same order as in the pic on the levl page, just use the groupings for the method to pick. There are 2 methods both basic - you'll find some good clues in earlier comments
ReplyDelete25's doing a good job of stumping me so far. Adding up the digits on each clock to make letters made a word, but that went nowhere, not even to an egg.
ReplyDeleteNo other ideas are coming to mind...little help?
(Oh, and someone might wanna put the 200-post warning up.)
Well done Candi!!!
ReplyDeleteI was putting all the blues together then trying to pick the blue numbers 8,6,7 etc. Is this the wrong approach as it just isn't getting through to me at the moment?
ReplyDeleteOops! Nevermind on the 200-post warning, then!
ReplyDeleteStill could use a nudge on 25, though.
oops- I meant reds for those numbers
ReplyDeletexaq, have you found the word that might me an egg?
ReplyDeleteEnzed: You have to use the same method for each group, but arrange the picked letters in the order of the words in the level once you have them
ReplyDeleteOn level 14, I get letters MAYED but can't form a word
ReplyDelete@Donas: If it's a 6-letter word that starts with a C, then yeah, I've found thOH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED IT.
ReplyDelete*facepalms, laughs* On to 26, then!
Pinkgirl: double check the D, there's another symbol that's very similar
ReplyDeletegot it thanks
ReplyDelete...and am I picking from my assembled string of red words or somewhere else???
ReplyDeleteLol, xaq
ReplyDeleteEnzed: In your earlier post you said you had 8,6,7 etc for the red words. That's correct. Just make sure that the letter you pick from the first red word is the first letter of your answer because it's the first word in the list in the pic. The first blue letter would be the 2nd letter of your answer because it's the 2nd word in the list in the pic etc.
ReplyDeletehope that makes sense
could someone spoil level 15, I don't know how to cut pictures into parts nor do I want to know, I just want to move on to level 16
ReplyDeleteim still not understanding lvl 22. is the entire line with the blotches supposed to be the read for the code or only around the blotches? i read where not look read the white but it's almost impossible. my eyes are probably too terrible for this lol
ReplyDeletepinkgirl, you will need to do this again, I'll tell you how if you want me to
ReplyDeletenevermind got level 15 on my own
ReplyDeletethak you CeeBee- I was in the right area but my execution wasn't quite aligned which left me nowhere! How far are you now?
ReplyDeleteButterfly, for level 22, look at the black dots and dashes in the white spaces, starts ST
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOkay, just to see if I'm getting the clues for 26 right...
ReplyDeleteoff the first line, I've gotten BL ...aaand then I'm lost.
xaq: You're on the right track - do what the next instruction says
ReplyDeletexaq, BL is right, now just go down... and keep following those steps
ReplyDeleteGood morning again. lvl 23.
ReplyDelete@Cee Bee: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I'm starting to work it out...I think I might have taken a wrong turn somewhere about 5-6 letters in. The first 4 spell a word starting with B...am I at least on the right track?
ReplyDeletexaq: Sounds like you're on the right track.
ReplyDelete@ceebee, for lvl23, what about first blue words with #15?
ReplyDeletexaq, just go down and grab those last 2 letters
ReplyDeleteWOO! Got it! Thanks guys, on to 27.
ReplyDeleteFor 28:
ReplyDeleteDo Rob and the types of numbers relate? I can't figure out where to start for each type. Should I get a 3 letter word, or four?
Sorry Zoran, missed you post - I don't understand your question
ReplyDeleteI have all numbers, for example, blue words with #18,12,15 make me confused.
ReplyDeleteCandi, 28 is a tricky level, relate R-O-B to the colors, but first you need to find a picture of something Johnny (the real one) recorded, it's yellow and pink. You should see 2 words there that look like the numbers on the level, use those words to rot with the numbers
ReplyDeleteI think I'm on the right path with 27...Got all the people ID'd, and going off a First Things First metnality, I got the title of a kid's movie from the middle pictures and a 2-letter word on the top... but the last 2 aren't giving me anything.
ReplyDeletexaq, the 2 at the top are a hint for what you need, google will help, the kid;s movie is a red herring
ReplyDelete@Donas:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kick in the right direction!
I can't go to bed w/o beating lvl 30 and reaching the halfway point.
ReplyDeleteIt looks simple. But I got gibberish. And my brain is slowly shutting down....
Candi, the B you need isn't the one it looks like, but I "can't see" how to tell you the B you need ;)
ReplyDeleteDonas to the rescue, again! :)
ReplyDeleteHow do I keep missing that trick? It tripped me up before. :)
Well, goodnight all!
(Xaq here; LiveJournal's glitching up, so I can't post using it as reference for the moment. :[ )
ReplyDeleteDonas, about your clue for 28 at 10:40 - Was the first word in the thing Johnny recorded "Never" by any chance?
finally lvl24
ReplyDeletelvl 25
ReplyDeleteAny help for lvl 25,please....
ReplyDeletegood morning, could I get a big hint for lvl 20. Counted, and counted and counted but still 0 result. Thanks
ReplyDelete(Ah, working again.)
ReplyDeleteIke and I must have a major time zone difference...you're saying good morning, and I'm saying good night. I'll pick this up tomorrow; I think I've got the letters I need to work with, I just have to figure out what to do with them. Maybe a good night's rest will help.
Still no idea of 25. I found a word, i think, but no idea what to do. Off to Gatamari. Will try again later.
ReplyDeleteStuck on 17. Got the prime numbers idea. And there are 17 words in the text. Have got my answers but don't know what to do. Any help out there?
ReplyDeletelvl 24 hint pls?
ReplyDelete@minxi it's not the answers! you need this time, think opposite.
ReplyDeleteFor 24 you have to rearrange the triangles in one large triangle and answer the question
ReplyDeleteThanks ike! I've taken the first letters of the level titles too but can't get anywhere.
ReplyDelete@minxi, you probably have 1 wrong then, they are in order, how many do you have?
ReplyDeleteDutchie and Zoran, level 25
ReplyDeleteYou're looking for an English expression.
Take a good look at the clock(s) and then Google a bit with some important keywords. One keyword would be the word you already found.
Ike, level 20
The rot for the first two letters would be 2 and 4, Think how that can be and you know how to find the others.
Thanks s-t, got it finally.
ReplyDeletes/t, got the word, googled but i am getting nothing so far. does it have to do with sports or just a grammatical expression?
ReplyDeleteI have 8 first letters and 33 in total. Thanks again.
ReplyDelete@ s-t thanks, made the same mistake as on lvl 18, not to take it word by word. Probably will bother you (and others) again and again, lol.
ReplyDelete@minxi, you only need 6 first letters, if necessary google a list to see which ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I was including the first one. So obvious now!
ReplyDeleteZoran,
ReplyDeletegrammatical expression.
The colour is important.
on 23 I went all the way back to lvl 1 and found no words, do I have to look elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteIke...a number associated with Friday is considered VERY unlucky...go back to that level. ...
ReplyDelete@ clio_rose, appearantly I need glasses after lvl 22, thank you.
ReplyDeleteNo worries ike........i have advertised on Ebay for a set of new eyeballs too........and im charging them to small-tool's credit card.
ReplyDeleteI've decoded the title on 31 and found what looks like an instruction but I don't know how to apply it. Am I on the right track?
ReplyDeleteCeeBee, right track, now read another way for 3 more letters
ReplyDeletelvl 26, found the song, do I need granmaa ? because down in a....gives more possibilities.
ReplyDeleteNo anagram Ike.
ReplyDeleteAfter going down inna, you should end in an empty box. Then repeat your method.
You only need 6 letters.
Lvl 27, I know everyone's ID, i know what the first two pics mean and who did what, i know where all the people from the pics are from, and that the middle pics give a name of a movie for kids but... still nothing.
ReplyDelete...misspelled something, got it, onto lvl 28
ReplyDeleteZoran, granny should tell you something with where they are from
ReplyDeletethx again s-t, got it
ReplyDeleteI accept any help for lvl 29. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDelete@Zoran: Find who that person is and his version of the song given. That will give you the right direction.
ReplyDeletelvl 27, should I translate granny's answer? The word she gives me isn't English.
ReplyDeleteIke,
ReplyDeleteIt should give a normal word.
But did you read a bit back in the comments? It's not about the pesrons names.
on lvl 30, about that bee. should i think of it as a bee or as something else?
ReplyDeleterather funny, by mistake I included the top picture and got a German word which even related well to the subject. Deleted one letter and found it after that.
ReplyDeleteZoran,
ReplyDeleteThink of it as the letter B (the first letter of a cipher).
I must be missing something pretty blatant on level 28.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I've got the words that go with the numbers (S** P******), but nothing I'm doing them makes a word, even if granny gets involved. I tried ROTting up by the numbers, but all I get is 2 backwards words and a 4-letter undecipherable mush.
lvl 31:
ReplyDeleteI thought I got 3 letters that from the title of the text in the box. So, I tried the technique on the level title and got 3 letters that (maybe?) are an instruction.
But nothing is working as the answer.
xaq,
ReplyDeleteThe colours also kind of tell you to anagram in groups and not all together.
S/T I have tried everything on lvl 30, but nothing make sense.
ReplyDeleteCandi, for level 31, 3 letters from title in the box is correct, now a simple method on that same title for 3 more
ReplyDelete@Zoran: Donas' comment @11:49 should put you on the right track.
ReplyDeletePs. Not everything the is in a straight line, has to be deciphered in a straight line. (Hope this last bit helps.)
Yeah, that's how I got the 2 3-letter backwards words (**y **p) and the 4-letter pile of blue mush (which granny can make a word out of now that I look at it...so now I've got "y** p** m***" which still does nothing.)
ReplyDeleteneed a little more help on 28 please, got the album tried using it in rot but am only getting gibberish
ReplyDeletexaq,
ReplyDeleteYou got it. But read it as what to put in the answer box :)
... ... ...oh for crying out loud. *facepalm*
ReplyDeleteRIGHT. ON TO 29. X_x
im having trouble moving the triangles in 24. any pointers?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteOkay. Got past 29 and 30 thanks to the hints on here, I see the 3-letter word in the text box's title on 31, but...I'm not figuring anything out beyond that. :[ (Just when I thought I was back on a roll, too!)
ReplyDeleteButterfly,
ReplyDeleteIt´s a bit of trial and error, but of course one of the capital letters should be on top and the bottom right one should be the one with the questionmark because that´s the end of the question you will get when placing them correct.
Again I have tried everything on lvl 30. Nothing, nothing and nothing.
ReplyDeleteZoran think about a b that's often used in riddles
ReplyDeleteNeed the "very, very big hints" for level 1 please. I was able to solve some of the prequel questions on my own but can't seem to get started on this one.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDoes the answer to 31 have anything to do with all the semicolons and hyphens that seem to just be thrown in everywhere?
ReplyDeleteZoran: You may have to feel your way around a bit
ReplyDeleteRobin: Did you see all the other clues in the earlier comments? What else do you need?
Could someone please help me out a little on 28, I have 3 words but none of them are working.
ReplyDeletexaq: you said you had 3 letters. Look at the same part of the page for another 3
ReplyDeleterds665,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you rotted correct?
One of the words should work.
33: Got the message. No idea what to write in the box.
ReplyDeleteCandi: Try what you have
ReplyDeleteCandi,
ReplyDeleteHow about trying the whole message as answer?
Seemed too big for an answer :)
ReplyDeletethanks s-t, i was off by one letter, got it
ReplyDeleteA-ha! Thanks, Cee Bee!
ReplyDeleteI spent almost 3 hours on lvl 30, and nothing. I am so frustrating.
ReplyDelete*stares blankly at 32* ... ... ...what the bleep?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteZoran: It might help to break the image up into pieces. Say...oh, about 8 of them, sized about 2x3 a piece?
ReplyDeletexaq, for 32, you have 3 extra lines on top, try to find a way to use them one at a time to make letters
ReplyDeletelvl 31, don't see, hear or understand any of it. Googled, read most of the ciper tool sites, thought I understood the 3-letter part but it seems I lost track. Perhaps God's gift to women can help this woman ?
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteI can't turn my brain down (or up!) for 34...
ReplyDeleteCandi,
ReplyDeleteIt's very basic. In fact it's only about the alphabet (but with a tiny twist).
Thanks everyone for help. got lvl30.
ReplyDeleteOooo, I get it now. Thanks Donas.
ReplyDeleteOkay, wow. I have absolutely NO clue what to do with 33. (I think I deciphered the numbers correctly and got a message telling me not to do something, but beyond that...bwuh?)
ReplyDeletenevermind, tried something ant it turned out OK
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I sat on the answer b/c I didn't think it could be the answer.
ReplyDeleteLesson learned :)
Hey ST and John
ReplyDeleteJust finished prequel 4
Really fun
I hiop[e @ some opoint you will post WT on all of these including this magamonster
Thanx for all your work and help over time
Wow completely baffled on level 1
ReplyDeleteUgh!!!
Got it
ReplyDeleteno idea why
Stucjk on 3
ReplyDeletehave been at it for 1.5 hrs
Joe ,for 3 ,you have to solve the puzzle first and note the initials of the persons on each (safe) transportation
ReplyDeleteI thought I might be on the right track with 33...I managed to make a 4-word phrase out of the numbers (d*** c***** d** o**) using all the numbers and just the ones on the right, but it's not working as an answer.
ReplyDeleteJoe M, it is a logic puzzle, you should find a similar one online. Try to get them all to the other side safely
ReplyDeletexaq, look closely at the picture ans see if you can find a way to put the numbers on the rows. Some of them are different, once you fit them on the rows, make them different too, by using the numbers
ReplyDeleteDonas , i was about to leave a message for xaq but refreshed first! so we wont be each others echo tonight LOL
ReplyDeleteDonas: ... ... ...what? O__o;;;
ReplyDeleteLol, Hi New :)
ReplyDeletexaq, d*** c****, is part of what you need to do. once you have assigned the numbers to the rows. Two of the rows have something different about them, right? Create the same difference on the other rows with the numbers
ReplyDeletexaq, notice that 2 lines are different and try to "read"them, then for the rest try to "pick"as the numbers on the left say (notice their positions)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I've got the idea now, because I was able to work out 2 opposing words from the different lines. Apparently plugging the numbers into the lines from top to bottom doesn't work, though, because doing that just gets me a huge jumble of vowels and a couple of S's.
ReplyDeletexaq,
ReplyDeleteYou found words because some of the rows have gaps.
Make all the rows with gaps.
Could someone tell me what the dots and dashes are on level 22, I just can't make anything out of the picture?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was trying...I wound out with "id" on the first line (ignoring the d due to the "d*** c****" bit from the numbers) when I plugged the 4 in. Am I on the right track?
ReplyDeleteCee Bee - level 1 is it words or just letters? How many words?
ReplyDeletexaq,
ReplyDeleteFirst letter is correct, but you have to make gaps by taking a line away (not by just pushing them aside. That's what (don't) count is about.)
pinkgirl9688,
They are in the columns on the right.
First two you will find would be ... and -
No anagram.
cant say i totally understood you xaq ,but notice that the number 4 is on the right so count from the right of the 1st line to make a gap
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, the image is just too blurry for me to see any dashes or dots
ReplyDeleteRobin: You are looking for 3 words on lvl 1. There are 4 different methods required to get all the letters you need, but they pan out in order, no anagram required The background flag is Italian whihc should tell you something if you done the prequels and the blue parts give another way to convert that you should also have seen in the prequels.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps
lvl 32, the order the words can be changed, it doesnt have to stay like in the photo?
ReplyDeletefinally got level 22
ReplyDeleteNope Zoran, they are already in the correct order.
ReplyDeleteJust find a logical way to use/place the top lines in the bottom thingies.
Okay, so I just need to take a line out of each line rather than--
ReplyDeleteBINGO!! Thanks for the help, guys! On to 34!
level 1 - do the three words start with w, o, and h?
ReplyDeleteRobin Rob, you've got the 1st and 3rd letters right, and the 2nd one is IN the 2nd word, but not at the start.
ReplyDeletecompletely lost on level 23, don't understand any of the clues already posted
ReplyDelete...I think I overcooked my brain on the last level. I tried doing something simple with all the C's on 34, and granny was nice enough to make a cake out of it...but that didn't solve it.
ReplyDeletepinkgirl - All of those words appeared in an earlier level, and had some numbers along with them.
ReplyDeleteFigure things out for the red words/numbers one way, and the blue words/numbers another way, and you should get the answer.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think I have the blue words but don't know how to figure out the red words
ReplyDeletePinkgirl: All the words appear in one of the earlier levels. They have numbers associated with them. Go back about 10 lvls, you'll see them
ReplyDeleteI've got the numbers, and I think I figured out the blue numbers but don't know what to do with the red numbers
ReplyDeletesaw the earlier posts for 22, including the s/t clue which says the first spaces are read ... but it really looks like ..- on my screen, so are there any other hints that us vision-further-impaired-by-level-22-image players can get?
ReplyDeleteUnknown,
ReplyDeleteIt's not abolut the spaces!!!
It's about the black/grey dots between those spaces.
And it always starts at the left part of a column.
And the next morse part is always the same amount of steps/rows down in a column.
OK, I had the first two letters from s-t in a previous post. I was able to make out the next two, then the last 4, then I made a lucky guess as to the rest.
ReplyDelete@Unknown, I can tell you it's a 4 letter word that starts with ST, then a 3 letter word, then a 7 letter word. I hope that helps.
NO MORE NEWSPAPERS! EVER!
I don't know what to do with the red numbers on level 22.
ReplyDeletewhat's left of my eyesight thanks you kindly - thank you s/t and zoz for clarifying.
ReplyDeletePinkgirl: I gather you mean lvl 23 not 22. You need two different methods for red vs blue words. It sounds as if you've found the blue method, look for another basic method to use on the red words. Combine the two in the order of the words on the pic and you should have your answer.
ReplyDeleteI've tried every basic method I can think of nothing seems to work
ReplyDeletepinkgirl9688,
ReplyDeleteRed is picking letters from the words.
Just to be sure, is blue translating the numbers to letters
ReplyDeletefinally got level 23
ReplyDelete36: I googled everything. I started w/ each word for picking letters, visited Granmaa, and have nothing.
ReplyDeleteBut...
Does it matter if I choose the game name or the generic item? And, should I select the first word google gives for the guy pulling on his face? Or the product it reminded me of invented in 1943? (<- See? I really did try :)
Candi: I assume you have all the items. There's another clue (2 in fact) that will tell you what you're looking for. Remember first things first for one of them
ReplyDeleteTook a break for a while, let my brain cool off, came back, and...
ReplyDeleteStill stuck on 34. I HAVE to be missing something pretty blatant here if I'm supposed to be able to get this with zero clues. The only thing I'm noticing is that the title and the picture have the same number of letters.
xaq: Think about what the C & V could stand for when you're thinking about alphabets
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me who the second and third person on row 2 and second person on row 3 is on level 23, I can't figure out how to google the images seperately
ReplyDelete@Cee Bee:
ReplyDeleteI suspected that: select five items and then pick letters. I'm sure of the first and second items, but don't have a fourth if I choose the item rather than the word google gives. If that makes sense.
In any case, I've worked everything I have and no joy.
@pinkgirl: I can't speak for anyone else, but I have a little snipping tool (downloaded for free sometime ago) that I use to capture images from my screen (kinda like print screen, but with the ability to select the area to capture).
ReplyDeleteI snip the bit of the picture that I want to google, save it, then upload it to google images to search.
I've found this faster than using paint or anything else. Hope that helps!
Oh. Right. Thanks Cee Bee.
ReplyDeleteOkay, what I came up with didn't look like a word (looked like 2 words with 1 slightly misspelled), but apparently that was it.
On to 35, then. Thanks Cee Bee!
Candi: You need all 9 items in the pics before you do the first things first - do you have them?
ReplyDeletePinkgirl: Save the pic, then use something like Paint or Microsoft's picture manager to crop the piece you need. Google Images will do the rest for you
Wow, I can't seem to get any of these on my own anymore.
ReplyDeleteCan I get a little nudge on 35, please? ^_^;;
xaq: the FIRST thing you have to do on lvl 35 is figure out how E=F. Apply one of the basic rules that you've been using from throughout this riddle to determine that.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Cee Bee, that's all I needed.
ReplyDeleteNow for 36 and ooooooooooh bleep this is going to be an interesting one...
stuck on 29. i know the person, his version, and the original, but dont know what to do with the animals.
ReplyDeleteAny further suggestions for 27?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteButterfly - Take each animal...then do what his song's title tells you to do. What is each called then? (Hint: #1 is not called "steak.")
ReplyDeleteJust to fact-check myself on 36: Is the broken word above the numbers meant to tell which order the names of the items go in?
ReplyDelete@pinkgirl, thank you - you are on the right track with your hint - 7 people, 7 birthplaces, 7 letters in the answer. Granmaa will help you. Thank you for sharing your idea.
ReplyDeletety xaq- wasnt even thinking of that lol
ReplyDeleteI know who all the people are and where they are born but I am not coming up with any words on level 27
ReplyDeleteis it countries or cities for level 27
ReplyDeletecountries pinkgirl
ReplyDeleteUnknown: Not sure what you need - what do you have?
ReplyDeletePinkgirl if you have the right people and the right places granny will help you.
Xaq: you can put the items in a clockwise order as in the pic.
Still on 36:
ReplyDelete9 items - r------, o------, t-----, n----, i---------, n---, e---------, s----- ---, v-----
First things first, I have a phrase and leftover letters. If i use the numbers/Granmaa, I get nothing. If i separate out the words that start w/ the letters of the green word, then use the numbers, I still don't have anything.
I'm stumped.
Is it first things first on level 27
ReplyDeleteCandi: I tried rearranging the items on the list to have their first letters spell out a 2-word phrase describing the center pic (t*** v****) ...I'm fairly sure that's the right way to go (though which N item comes first is beyond me), but I'm not getting anywhere at that point either.
ReplyDelete800 POST WARNING!!! (in case S-T doesn't get to it)
ReplyDeleteCandi & xaq: your list is right - use the basic rule & visit granny to see what you have to with it.
ReplyDeletepinkgirl - yep that should work
