Great! Thanks Jon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the game Jon!
ReplyDelete“If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.” (that's a hint by the way!)
ReplyDeletenudge for 5 ????
ReplyDeleteAnd as usual with these riddle games, level 1 already has me stumped. I just KNOW I'm overlooking something blatantly obvious, but...
ReplyDeleteperhaps look at 5 from a different angle
ReplyDeletefor level 1, find the poem online....there are a few errors in my version
ReplyDeletewill pick this up tomorrow. xaq - check the original and note the differences.
ReplyDelete...*facepalms* Thanks JTW.
ReplyDeleteThat was great fun, thanks so much Jon, and thanks for the hint!
ReplyDelete*brickwalls at 3* "Can you find the name of a famous English writer in this?"
ReplyDeleteNo. No I can't. Author names =/= my strong suit. :[
Xac, check my first comment here
ReplyDelete...Okay, wow, somehow I figured that's right where the answer was, but I was using too many letters.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
But, again, thanks. *moves on to Lv 4*
Fun as always! Thanks Jon :)
ReplyDeleteMade it 2 more levels, but 6 has me confused. Am I doing the opposite of what I did in 5?
ReplyDeletegood idea xaq ;)
ReplyDeletemaybe, but it doesn't seem to be working. :[
ReplyDeleteremember, the number you are looking for has to be backwards ;)
ReplyDeleteI knew that much...where I was screwing up was what number one of the letters becomes. I forgot to capitalize it first.
ReplyDeleteDUHHH. On to 7.
Yaaay, made it through the rest on my own. I feel much better now...'specially after that victory video.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, guys!
Got Lvl 3 from your clue Jon. But can't see why - can't see the connection with the puzzle clue.
ReplyDeleteNow stuck on Lvl 4.
Is the spelling mistake intentional? Or are we looking for something else?
Oops - NVM. Saw the answer.
ReplyDeleteLvl 5.
I am stuck on 4 also
ReplyDeleteAll done - rest were easy.
ReplyDeleteFun waste of time Jon. Thanks.
sorry Ashley, my mistake with the typo! :(
ReplyDeletethe answer to 4 is toward the end of the text....
ReplyDeletehint on 4?
ReplyDelete$ uses the same trick as 3, you are looking for an African country
ReplyDeletemy typing has gone to blazes....$ = 4
ReplyDeleteCheers John, I enjoyed that.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back :D
Answer to Lvl 3 is by sound Jon? I can sort of see it now when I go back to check.
ReplyDeleteOr did I miss something else?
@EnJoy, look for a G and follow it...
ReplyDeletethanks Rambler....I have got the drive back to start making games again :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent news then. Catch you soon....
ReplyDeleteI got it now. thanks jon
ReplyDeletelevel 3: "dream is" contains the authors name
ReplyDeleteoh thanks Rambler.. didn't see your hint
ReplyDeleteSo the answer to Lvl 3, Jon, is more by sound?
ReplyDeleteOr did I miss something else?
Seems to me we would have to know a bit about literature without your forum clue to help.
Okay - ignore last query. I was thinking of the word "famous" - the sound is there. Completely missed "dream is".
ReplyDeleteBut my other comment still stands, I think.
yes, I realised he might not immediately jump out to many people, I had to include the quote from him to be fair to players
ReplyDeleteThanks jonthewatch, glad to hear (read) you're going to be creating again!
ReplyDeletewhat am I doing wrong in 6?
ReplyDeleteSPOILER53177197714SPOILER
@jon, his boy can write a bit too!!
ReplyDeleteon 6, not in 6
ReplyDeletenot 9 Enjoy, think of the capital letter perhaps
ReplyDeleteJoyce, that's not quite right, try again. The 19 should be an 8 ( I think)...
ReplyDeleteOh pop... an 8 not a 9
ReplyDeleteLOL @ EnJoy, I use POP as a swear word at work now. Just like you just typed - Oh pop.....
ReplyDeleteRighto, time for bed. Good night my friends..
ReplyDeleteHa! goodnight @Rambler and thank you Jon! I little out of practice on these :)
ReplyDeleteThat was fun Jon, Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI may be late to the game, but I'm eager to have a go! Jon's games are always great fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon. I enjoyed that a lot.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I press answer it takes me to a page saying "Page not Found".
ReplyDeletetishtosh, a wrong answer will take you to the "Page not Found" Are you on level 1?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video at the end as well, Jon. Thanks.
ReplyDeletetishtosh...to get you started. Read the poem and note that there are missing letters. No need to anagram those missing letters, they make a word. Type that word in lowercase into the answer box, click the answer button and it will take you to the next level.
ReplyDeleteSPOILERhaledSPOILER
That was fun, thanks Jon :)
ReplyDeletethanks jon, delighted to see your riddles again hopefully more soon
ReplyDeleteJon - great to see you making these again. I think the amount of levels is just right, and I can always get through these because of all the great hints others (and you) give!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDonas & Clio Rose, thanks, I'm embarrassed to say I did have the wrong answer. I was sure I had it correct, :) Thanks for your help.
ReplyDeleteThis was just what I needed! Took me a little longer than my cup of coffee though (well something stronger actually). Thanks a lot Jon, I enjoyed it. I hope you are gonna Waste my Time a lot in the near future :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon! Just a couple days ago I realized I hadn't seen any riddles posted in ages.
ReplyDeleteGreat video too :)
Any help for level 2? I found the missing letters, but no idea which of the infinite possible manipulations I need to perform.
ReplyDeleteFor level 2, the missing letters are in order, one per line to give you a 6 letter word.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The extra "t" in "there were" kind of threw me. I wonder why it's there?
ReplyDeleteProof that cats are liquid! Thanks Jon. That one was the most fun yet. Had to take my glasses off for 7 and would never have got 3 without the hint but, for the rest I had a good brain day, for a change :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI got here a little late but I still enjoyed it LOL. Thank you Jon!!! That was great!!
