Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

[-CarcharotH-]

Dammit all, now i have to figure out what to put in there!

Spoiler: Hint on the answergoeshere-url

The pictures point to the sequence you have to enter; the exact number of digits you'll need can be found out on the way upstairs.

Is it possible that so many people have overlooked this?

Well that explains why I couldn't make that leap. everyone was skipping a couple steps and getting lucky.

Exactly. Lots of corner-cutting going on for day 5.
Come on Mods, part of your precious puzzle is already about to slip into oblivion (or something)! Save it! We all got away too easy!

EDIT: Nevermind this.

Problem solved.

Ok, here is a slight spoiler for those who get there, but there is some ambiguity

Spoiler

There is a certain sequence which a certain set of paintings give you. Some people start the sequence at 1 some people start the sequence at 0. You should start at 0

So maybe you can bestow mental peace (mantlepiece, hee hee...oh god) upon me and tell me what the connection between that last site and the solution is? Please?

I don't know actually I guessed the actual final answer from the hints in the forum. I want to figure out where to go from the "site with the black background"

 

[havass]

Ok, I think I understand a part of 5-1
...

Spoiler

Numbers?

But I have a hard time understanding what some of the pictures are aiming towards.

Edit: Also, who's the actor?

Spoiler

Ninetales.
7 dwarves
Octagon
Neo, The 'One'
Robot called Number Five
Singer of Nine Inch Nails
High five
Octopus
Olsen twins
Saturn V
The Two Towers
Dante's Inferno, Nine levels of Hell.

See anything that's similar?

Ugh, thanks, Escapist warlords. I now know what brain tastes like.

This is where I'm stuck as well, can anyone help us? And I see you've already guessed the answer, why can't I be so lucky?

 

[havass]

Hey, I know you're all working on Day 5 but I need some help for Day 4.

I know that on the first one I have to

Spoiler

Enter cheat codes

but I'm seriously stumped right now.

Could someone please send me a PM telling me

Spoiler

Which code to enter for Starcraft?

Gah.....my pride.....she flees.

Read the instructions:

If we live by these codes three,
We shall suffer no wounds.

Hehe, I know. That clicked for me just after asking for help.

 

[lockeslylcrit]

I have conquered the mountains!

 

[Hippobatman]

I am so close, I can feel it.

Alas, I don't have the mental fatigue to walk up the staircase to victory.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Spoiler: Old post retained for context

So... I've obviously got the answer, but could someone PM to explain

Spoiler

the relevance of the numbers you get after you put the answer in the URL, and what you're meant to do with them?

...'cos I just took a leap from the previous step and got lucky. Now I know it's there, I kinda need to know why.

EDIT: figured it out... damn.

 

[Darth IB]

Yeeees! Finally did it!
My brain won't recover from the exhaustion again for another couple of hours, but it was so worth it

 

[Fire Daemon]

YES! Just got the last one. Making the connection was a bit hard at first, but after thinking about it, what over game could it be?

Massive thanks to everyone who worked through these puzzles over the past week, I wouldn't have finished it (especially the last one) if it weren't for some of your hints. I feel kind of bad starting with 48 pages of help, but oh well.

Also, the people who put this together should be really proud. You guys did an awesome job making this.

 

[Chronarch]

Ah, I finally beat day 5. Well the Escapist, great job on the puzzles, though some of them were a bit sadistic. Also thanks to all the people who posted hints as well. I would've never figured some of this stuff out without the hints.

 

[C95J]

I am no good with puzzles.

Spoiler: What do I do?

I looked through these forums then people talk about the number sequence, 978159582593, and you know who, then suddenly talk about a website with a hole??? What the hell is going on I understood where the numbers come from and the following step but I am lost from there on...

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Jesus... Day 5 has me...

Can I haz hint?

 

[Aidan Goldthorpe]

Made it this far, now I'm stuck on the final hurdle.

Spoiler

Five numbers with the black background

and I have no idea what to do. The previous ciphers don't seem to work either.

Yeah, I've tried number-> letters and then looking for a cipher, but no luck so far.
