Argh, I'm stuck on 7 >_< It seemed so easy, I just don't understand "too new"

EDIT: Hooray! I solved it. Damn jesus, that was convoluted though...

Please use spoiler tags for EVERY little hint. ::) Really. This is much more fun if we solve it for ourselves, and reading this thread and picking up little hints unawares is just no fun at all.

Great puzzles, but I think I must be below the required intelligence level because I'm stumped on no. 6.

I'm stuck on #15 and I think I'll call it a night there. #12 had me stumped the most of them all, I overthought things, I think.

Rats, I was gonna do something similar in not too distant a future...of course, mine would have had some sort of theme, and made sense
I have a problem with these random puzzles which are most about guessing, trying and trying again

hehe, my friend played that solid in school, as it saves your progress. He finished it in the end.

*edit* whoo, level 9 (not pr0n). I think i'll leave it there for a while.

Man I hate these. I try to cheat and I still can't get anywhere. I'm dumb. :P

I remember that. I got to level 23 and then gave up. It was taking way too much of my precious time.

I couldn't enjoy these. Some of the clues were just too obscure for me. When I got it, I could see the correlation, but to me it didn't really seem like I solved anything important. More just a trick than a puzzle. Because a puzzle seems to have a set of rules, where as in this, anything goes...or so it would seem. I guess I just don't like to think outside the box...but being provided a picture, my assumptions would all be that anything done in this game should be done within said picture. Of course, this is not the case.

I also tried this game when I was sleep deprived, so I might try it again when I'm better rested, and keen on solving puzzles. Who knows!

Lovely, people keep on posting links to similar puzzles! Maybe this thread can become a reference, home, listing, whateveryouwannacallit for these things, so people can check 'em out.

I'm on #14 (with the help of some "hints" if you can call them that)

It gets rather repetitive, and you use the same kind of "tricks" to solve each puzzle.

Spoiler
Most of the answers lie in the source, or the image itself

eVOLVE had a game like this going. I was one of the first to test it out. I got pretty far, and then gave up and he dissapeared.

I think his was more fun, because you had to read emails and such and it was like you were a real agent.

Post by: veryweirdguy on Sat 05/02/2005 16:02:12
Yes, I remember eVOLVE's was a sort of prelude to his game "The Case" (which I hope is still in production) where you had to actually help one of the characters from the game via e-mail & such.

But I am quite enjoying this, it's not too repetetive, the puzzles are fairly varied, but the clues as to how to solve them are often very similar (for example in the source, as LGM says)

Should keep me occupied a while...

There's a similar riddle at Dan Brown's website- two of them, actually. There's a bunch of clues designed into the book jacket and the book itself, and you have to send e-mails and check special sites and so forth. Quite nifty.

Ugh. I'm getting exhausted playing this. Hey,at least it's giving me something to do. I wish I could solve more of them without using hints.

(Level 35, btw)

You know, I got up to 21 using hints, and I've noticed something. As the "puzzles" get higher and higher, they seem to require specific and advanced skills, such as knowing how to overlay images in Photoshop. It's getting to the point where it's not complicated or tough....it's just too tedious to bother anymore. It was fun while it lasted though.
Title: Re: Not pr0n

I agree. But I can't help but keep "playing"

It got repetitive at 15, I got bored around 30, but stuck it through to 54, wherein it just got too stupid. As terran said, overlaying images isn't HARD, but what's the point? I think the only level I actually LIKED was the one with twix in it. It was totally convoluted, but it had sense to it. The picture actually related to what was going on, and if you typed in stuff the wrong way around it gave you a hint that actually made it clear what you were supposed to do. It's not like there's an actual PURPOSE to much else of it. But - as has been said - it was fun while it lasted.

Whoops, for no.6 it turned out I was wasting my time...

Number 7 really is harsh, though. It's hard to find the exact info even when you know exactly what you're looking for.

Look at the URL, and then read the clue that flashes at the bottom of the picture.
