Riddler's School
Well it's been a while since I did a Musical Friday post, and it's probably just as long since I posted a URL changing puzzle game. They're not everybody's cup of tea, but those that like them, become furiously addicted. Anyway...

Mr Riddler took some time out from inventing evil plans for the demise of Batman, and wrote to me with news of his on-line puzzle Riddler's School, which I lost for a while in an email spam trap, which obviously decided that anything from a superhero's arch-nemesis was spam, but I then managed to recover it, to post here for all you puzzle addicts to enjoy. It's the usual idea: look at the clue, use your brain, insert your answer in the address bar (...see a 404 error which means you're wrong again, and then go hunting on a forum for a clue).

The theme of the game, as the name might suggest, sees you going back to school (arrrrrrggggghhh!), with the puzzles split into courses and classes, once you get past the first page you start in Geography. Remember to pack your best brain, and an apple for teacher.

PS. As at school cheaters may get in trouble, so while hints are fine, no giveaway spoilers in the comments please, it spoils the puzzles for the true addicts.

Came back to this because other things got in the way of gaming ie. WORK

Anyway whatever I type in now it says ''error 404 page cannot be found'' Is this because I'm doing it all wrong?

I know the big flag

used the first letters of the other flags, gives a meaningful word

googled on that and the title,
found several things that could match, but probably close but no sigar...

Hi to all!
I am the school's principal and I'd like to wish all good luck throughout the following courses (you'll need it and alot of patience). I thank Graeme for posting the game, lazylaces is always the best forum to find great games and I hope you feel that way about this one. I check in on all forums two-three hours a day and I'll throw you a bone if I see that too many of you are stuck in one place at once. I encourage you to help eachother out as much as possible but please: use spoiler tags! don't ruin the game for others.
Enjoy and Good Luck!

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Go with your first reaction. The picture itself may look a teeny bit too European for this one. Actually, my grandma was born here, but that's not going to help anyone else!

Comment 35, Friday, January 26th 2007 01:42:23 PM

Thruanoxygenlimbo

:
Also, many movies and comics were set in that place, made famous worldwide for the kind of things happening in that picture ;)

And that's...
