:Good grief, they are making these in super quick time. I almost can't keep up ><
Think~Pink
:BTW: Morning Graeme :o)
O
:i can never beat these
Dude
:ARGH what do you do in that damn red and blue water pipes puzzle???
Poodpood
:Morning All, It's FRIDAY!!!!! weehoooooo!
Graeme
:T~P: Morning! :o)

:Ugh...I am going to have to leave it now and I just got started...off to work again...I wonder if the boss is in today...after all, it is Friday :o)
BTW: Morning PooPood :o)
Dude
:Sorry I sounded so rude. It's almost the end of the workday here. :)
And I'm still stuck at the red and blue puzzle.
Sigh. Looks like a long one.
Dude
:Anybody? Help with the red and blue water pipes? I've been trying to solve that for an hour...
Mariah
:I'm guessing the dates that you get from solving the puzzle, correspond with the calender in the shed. But how...
JJ
:arghhh am so stuck how do you sort out these red and blue things?? my brain is melting
Mariah
:Does anyone know what that wierd typewriter looking thing in the treasure chest is? Or how to use?
Norway
:Good morning, Anybody know what to do whith the 3 "wheel" in the "cottage"?
Dan_just_do_it
:Repsonse to 3 wheel in cottage
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Just keep clicking them till you get something. Click the first button (once) then the second one a bunch of times. If nothing, click the first button (once) then the second. Repeat until something occurs
Helanren
:red and blue things: I have been trying to
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
connect the lamps as in the previous puzzles, but without success
However,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
if you ignore the blue/red colors and look at the 4 "wings" of each wheel, you notice some are open and some are filled in with black. The black ones look like the parts that make up letters and numbers on a digital display, e.g. on a calculator (remember what 7145 used to look like upside down?). Maybe that is the clue and you have to make up some letter or number that way?

Binmania
:Blue and Red pipes
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Helanren is right. You do make a year in the middle with the digital clock type shapes.
However, this puzzle can be done using pipe colours.
If you start at the edges connecting pipes to bulbs and work inwards.
Think in terms of the nodes between the tiles.
No pipe colour should finish so you have to link all the tiles so that there are no 'dead-ends' of any colour.

And if you can't be bothered doing that, here's the answer.
Although you may have to complete the puzzle anyway for it to register and unlock another puzzle.

Digital bits make '1872'
Hope that helps.

:I think the first jigsaw/sliding puzzle...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Gives the Hex for the setting of the Enigma machine
Which we must remember
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The note tells us should go in descending order
I'm guessing

17th, 27th and 7th have something to do with the calendar... and the year gotten from the pipes puzzle should help us work out what
Binmania
:Decoding message from locker room...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Using 94e as hex and putting indescending order gives e94.
Then just type the letters to decode the message.
I was expecting it to be harder and trying to work out what would create that message if typed. Came up with a load of rubbish. ;-)

Again, for the terminally lazy...

decoded message reads THURSDAY THREE SIX
Twit
:I "accidentally" won the game...
I did the 3 wheel puzzle like Dan said, then the door beside it opened and by listening and trial and error I got the code... and won.
I didn't even look at the blue and red puzzle
*Sigh* feeling slightly unfulfilled
Think~Pink
:Managed to solve almost all puzzles so far except the blue/red one. I was convinced I had them all connecting, but nothing happened so I assume there is something I have missed.
I have been at this for a while now so I hope I'm not too far away :o)
Binmania
:Finished it the proper way ;-)
Wasn't sure that I used the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
17th 27th 7th
from the first puzzle though.
I found notes dated
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
May 27th (=Monday) and June 7th (=Friday), but none for the 17th.
Maybe that was the clue to the spiky discs?

:Yay, finally connected them..
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
now to the calendar I saw to see what that date means :o)
Think~Pink
:Hmm..I think I figured out that
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the 17th, 7th and 27th relate to the days of the week.
I remember coming across one of those notes scattered around, that mentioned they gave each other codenames such as Wednesday and Monday. Wonder if this is relevant.

:Think-Pink...
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
There is another building near the shed with another note and setting for the Enigma machine. I didn't find it at first.
This gives you the Month. The year has come from the pipes puzzle. Check the days which 27h 7th and 17th fall on and convert this to symbols on the spikey disc puzzle.

:yay..I found
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
some receipts and it says 'Mission accomplished'
please tell me that is the end lol
Think~Pink
:Thanks Binmania, I didnt see your comment until just now, so I already figured that out...but the help is much appreciated anyway :o)
Matthew
:As far as i know i have finished it and all i had to do were 3 puzzles: The first one show as the picture on here, the 3 spinning star shaped things then the one after that using trial and error, hope thats the end
Webby
:readig the first comments is like taking a warm bath ^^
Relaxing.
Because there's no "First,2nd, third,.." replies.
Sorry to point this out but I just had too. =)
Dan
:Hello all,
You know, reading the notes scattered around, one mentions the code
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
"xxvmqxpx"
to use with the enigma machine, only I do not know the proper Hex setting to decode it. I was just wondering if anyone figured this out? I confess that I stopped looking because it seems that I have managed to open the room containing the "names, addresses, and contact information" that you are supposedly looking for. Why keep running after you have crossed the finish line, right? BUT, I must say that in this episode, there did not seem to be very many carry-over from one puzzle to the next, except maybe to gain the access to the final puzzle. My opinion? I found this episode to be too easy, given that you did not have to decipher any symbols or clues from early puzzles to help solve later ones. Anyone else out there agree with me?
Dan
Mystery
:I'm also very confused. I solved also the 3 puzzles needed (the only ones I was able to solve) and suddenly it said "mission accomplished". Weird!!! Is in on purpose??? Well then it's really a waist of time trying to solve the other puzzles. I really don't know at the moment what to say about this .... since I'm at a state of shock...
AaronzDad
:Is it just me or is this game WAAAAYYY too esoteric to be anywhere near fun??
Helanren
:......Is it just me or is this game WAAAAYYY too esoteric to be anywhere near fun?? ......
Yeah, must be just you :-)
Coolgirl
:i did the 3 wheels with two buttons on top and i was able to open the door....now im facing a wall that looks like a calendar...what do i do with it?
Helanren
:Binmania (see post 13.02 hrs):
To work out how the Enigma works:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
try e.g. typing the same letter 8 times, then try typing the same letter, but changing the hex code
you will notice that
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
you will notice that
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
in the first case, the letters go down, so if the first result was h, the second time you type the same letter gives g, the third f etc.
In the second case, if you add 1 to the code, the answer goes up by one as well. So if 321 transforms a to e, 322 transforms it to f, 323 to g etc.
Furthermore:

In the second case, if you add 1 to the code, the answer goes up by one as well. So if 321 transforms a to e, 322 transforms it to f, 323 to g etc.
Furthermore:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the second number of the code is unimportant, 321=322=3A2 etc., but the sum of the first and third is what counts
Combining all the info,

So, if you want to recreate the code using E94 as hex, just type this load of rubbish :

Combining all the info,

the sum of 1st number + 3rd number + “number of click” is the number used in a Caesar’s shift of the input.

:Hi everyone, the game has been updated so that you can't so easily get to the end without solving the other puzzles first
Thomas J. Brown
:@AaronzDad - Yeah, I'm about ready to quit playing this series. Not really my cup of anything.
Mystery
:Uffff, should I stay or should I go?
Seriously, I will give it a try tomorrow. Although I was happy to get out with only 3 puzzles, but that's life ;-)
Ketaro
:What should I input 7 letters under the "June 7, C2, L11, W2" at the 3 wheels with 2 buttons on top...?
Where is the hint of this?
Binmania
:Helanren, (from yesterday)
Yes, I had the basics of the code letters becoming closer to the pressed letter each time, but before I spent too much time on working that out I tried typing the garbage and came up with useful words.
Well done on analysing the code to that degree. I think I got to JZO before getting frustrated with the fact that it didn't make anything and trying the other way.
;-)

p.s. Don't think there's any spoilers there really?
Candy
:okay i got the blue and red puzzle to say
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
1872 in the middle with the digital clock shapes
but it didnt click or gong or anything to say that i got it right????? anyone else have this happen is it supposed to?
Binmania
:Candy,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Try moving some of the other tiles so that there are no dead ends to the blue and red pipes.
There is one tile with a red line straight across and a blue line straight across and no digital number bits. Try turning this thru 180 degrees.

I'm not sure if it definitely has to gong, but try these things and it should do.

:And this June 7, C2, L11, W2 doesn't seem to relate to anything.
I thought this episode was really good until this was added. The puzzles didn't require a knowledge of AstroPhysics of Alchemy and could all be done using logic and the clues from other puzzles.
Unfortunately you could also complete it doing just three puzzles with brute force, but there's no joy in that and no satisfaction. So why bother?
This new puzzle is too obscure for me.
June 7, yes... and I have a year.
c could be hex, as could the 2.
But I haven't seen anything relating to L or W.
Erm... guess I'm asking for help, please?
;-)
Candy
:thanks!! binmania it finally gonged and worked!
Larry
:"June 7, C2, L11, W2" now reads "June 7, Col.2, Line11, Word2"
Helanren
:@Binmania (....p.s. Don't think there's any spoilers there really? ...)
probably not , but a) it gives others the possibility to try and work it out themselves if they are just as crazy as I am, and b) it gave me the possibility to experiment with those nested spoilers I always see people use on this site :-)
Ketaro
:thank you!
Because I'm Japanese, I know few words, and I couldn't notice these words (Col.,Line,etc). The 7 letter is "ima...", isn't it?
But I can't solve the 3 wheels puzzle yet... 17th, 27th, 7th is something wrong?(TT)
Mystery
:Solved the light-puzzle, the jigsaw-puzzle, the wooden slider-puzzle. Now I'm stuck on the Enigma Machine and don't know exactly how the calendar relates to it or whatever. I know know that on the key (the wooden "star") there are the first letters of the day of a week and there is always a shift of 3. But now no idea what to do (how is this key related to the calender or to the rotation???) .... Any hints?
(At least I read the whole literature on the Enigma Machine... unfortunately it didn't help really up to now).
Rusa
:Solved most of the puzzles!!! BUT the big problem with June7.... etc......
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
11 line, 2 col., 2 word... IS IMAGINE!!! but why it does not work????
HELPPPPPPPPP
Here, scrinshots for previous puzzles....

Blink
:Rusa
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
why do you considere the blank line as one?
Rusa
:Blink
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
just because, as i understand, we need word from 7 letters (i think its logic?.. if you see 7 empty points - you try to find word from the 7 letters)....That's why the blank line - i counted as one....I'm wrong?....(((( Ehi....
Sorry Blink, my English is not so good, maybe i did not understand the question......
Give me, pls, right code.....if you know of course...)))
