hello!

a guy already made it, it takes just a bit of patience.
Follow the lines and read carefully. the graphics are not made randomly

it´s a quest, a little treasure hunt

I post hints on the facebook page and here tomorrow, let´s see how it goes for now

Now now admit it ! Who made it already ?? Haha im stuck at the 2nd engima for the longest time.

Yeah done - the last step took me longer than it should. Kicked myself when I saw it - very clever!

Ssshhhhh! But good job!

eheh thanx, good that people is making it to the end
thank you for participating

Phew... Finally made it!!!

I'm done. My brain is fried. Can't even make out the website to access everything. I'm pretty sure I got the website right but I can't for the life of me figure out the number. I assume it's contained within those little boxes. Oh well.

Same here... I thought I had the number but I don't know if I'm combining it correctly. But most likely the number is wrong.

This is why I hate treasure hunts. They always intrigue me but I can never figure them out. Believe I have the right website, but not sure about numbers. And I've tried so many different computations of things that I think are numbers in a variety of pictures that I'm going insane.

The number is actually pretty clear, it will strike you if you spot it, if you think it vaguely looks like a number then that isn't it.

HOLY CRAP!!! Got it!! Can't believe I didn't see it before. Not that it does me much good...

Nope. Gave it another shot for like an hour and nope. So if squigglies aren't numbers and actual numbers aren't helping...I honestly don't know what to look for. I've tried IIIIIIIV, 2010, 2014, the prototype numbers, I've tried adding them, subtracting them, the squiggle that looks like a 26, the squiggle that looks like a z and a 7, the squiggle that looks like a 17 and nothing.

I give up for today. Been at it for way too long.

You guys are THIS close to seeing a grown man cry.

What's worse, is it continues... and it gets worse.

I know I've got to be over-thinking the next quiz.

I know the number is right in front of me, I just can't see it.

Hi all!

since it is a quest, I cannot post a solution or help too much. I can give hints
I know that chapter II is difficult.

So far a dozen made it to the end, there is still time. It´s not a race and everybody think in a different way. Use all the resources you want, ask friends for a different point of view or approach, or your wife/girlfriend, call NASA, team up or just rest one night.

I gave a hint to chapter II about the roman numeral



another hint for chapter II:



I will post it later on the facebook page.
Glad that you like it, I know it might be frustrating... but you know, puzzles.

And again, the graphical elements are not made randomly just to look nice. They are made to communicate something. (even in the last one)
cheers

WOO HOO ! My turn to make it, stupid browser lol

Fun fun contest ! Great effort lorenzo !

I'm still stuck on chapter 4. I just don't see the number(s).

HINT: you dont have to SEE the number(s)

clearly not doing it right for part 2 of Chapter II. Sigh.

As Kai says - all the numbers you might need are in plain sight.
Everything else you need is given to you.
Write everything down.

(You don't NEED to google anything really - but when I did I got a deeper appreciation of the depth of the puzzle and the research that went into the deck.)

Ugh, I CANNNOOTT get the Chap 4 one. I've tried everything I can think of and even did a ton of research about the three heavenly substances.

Honestly that doesn't help lol. I've tried everything I can think of.

EDIT : Got it. I was doing one little thing wrong that threw me off. I freaking had the right idea from the start and spent hours (literally) doing it wrong or trying other stuff (like researching the three things on google and whatnot). I had it all along! Just did 1 thing wrong! Ugh. I got the first 3 so easily too. In fact, if I had done this last one the first time, I could've very well been the first one finished. But now I'm not

Yep, I fumbled around with "Chapter II" until I was cross-eyed.

Congrats on figuring it out. I'm still thinking on that one unfortunately hehe

Made it, Made Ch IV harder than it needed to be. Good night sleep brought everything into view.

That's exactly what I did second after I posted and found where I went wrong! haha Lorenzo, you are good

Now I'm happy

Same here. I just didn't want to 'reveal' or 'hint' anything without Lorenzo's blessing.

haha thanx guys, congratulations and thank you
maybe 3 days are too many
I should stop giving hints O_O

cheers

Finally finished! Actually, I found the first step to find the website one of the hardest, but I think Chapter 1 was the worst. Good thing though, because it made it so the browser issue was corrected on Chapter 2 before I even attempted it. I'm sure that would have made me give up as I wouldn't have thought of assuming that would matter. Got all the rest pretty quick after that, but I'm not sure how long it would have took without the clues.

Congrats to those who did it without any help and good luck to the rest!

Heck I'm still stuck on chapter 1

And I finally saw it. I was doing the same thing as most. Had the right idea but got stuck in that enigma mentality.
