The First Door
Puzzle fans may like to try out The First Door, it's a URL changing puzzle, although it is a little different from the norm, having no source code clues, and requiring no graphics manipulation software. Personally I haven't got too far, being stuck with some broken dominos (see above), which hopefully will make more sense to you when you get to them than they did to me. Here's what I think is an official description of the game that got sent through to me:

A new quest began at 12 o'clock tonight called The First Door. A series of tricky puzzles where the answers of them link up to form the idea of the quest: Find the person who needs help: me. I am hiding somewhere in the world and only through the answers to the puzzles can you find my location! I need to be so cryptic in case those who are looking for me find me first. No hunting in the source code or need for photo manipulation software, all you need is the Internet, some skill and the ability to learn things you didn't know before. Please, help me.

[subbed by The First Door (?)].

Remember you can email the door and it will reply with a small hint. Just email [TheDoorName] @ thefirstdoor.co.uk.
Replace [TheDoorName] with whatever door you are trying to solve.

I checked it out in character map and came up with UQGK

Am I on the right track? I'm about half way mad right now :(

I don't know if it helps in anything but the two other signs that are visible in the bottom corners of the "Philospher's Paradox" picture are


HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
symbols of Jupiter and Sun, and that can represent sagittarius and leo in horoscope - and that would lead us to letters f and b if we keep on translating symbols to letters, but it doesn't seem to lead me any further... any ideas?

is it something to do with alchemy? that was my first thought when i found out the lead and gold thing...


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
and the chemical symbols for lead n gold are Pb and Ag if i remember my chemistry correctly

Am i going anywhere with this? I don't know...

Comment 175, Monday, June 26th 2006 06:21:00 PM

I think these are metal signs - lead and gold (Pb and Au), but it doesn't make sense.


Thanx, MsDolfinn :)

I keep seeing references to pictures in the game, but I've yet to see any. I'm stuck on the Dot Matrix one and I have a feeling it's because I can't see the picture. Anyone know why this is?

You are all getting closer to the answer. Ignore the chemical symbols, they won't help you further.

also the big symbol in the middle is simmilar (though not identical) to picture of something called:

Platonic Universe. I found it at some website about alchemy, so it would somehow confirm that we're on the right track...

Philosophers stone? Lead into gold? But what about the symbols that Sara found in the character map?

for the backgroud shape thingy:

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
i found a symbol called a "feu de rous" or wheel of fire, which is represented but a triangle inside a circle

Dunno if it applicable but right now anything is worth a shot.

PS it's not the password but maybe you guys can figure something out

I've tried all 3 names together, all names minus the characters numbered at the bottom, just the characters number at the bottom. I don't get it?!
