One part is the other part. This gives you a location.

Phew... couldn't get it more cryptic.

What can "The Sentinel" be? (other than a movie/video game).

The name:
Spoiler
Try to find out what's called "the Sentinel" and where it's located.
[close]
The object:
Spoiler
Try to find out what imperial explosions can be. Think natural phenomenon..
[close]
The location:
Spoiler
Search for natural phenomenon in nature reserves in the USA.

Oh come on! I can't be the only idiot here ::)

still on the second puzzle, I think I'm overthinking it:
Spoiler
I tried writing everything I could think of backwards, didn't work.

So it's something else, I noticed that you can see the door, meaning that the train is going to the right.. I think. But I doubt it's anything about that since countries have different rules for that.

then I tried to find a pattern in the scribblings on the wheels, nothing...

I can't solve this with only the hints I've gotten.. please help.

LRH

Hmmm I'm pretty sure that
Spoiler
there's another word for what's in the picture

this is the result:
imperial explosions in the US+phenomenon gives me OSHAs big Dust then Globalization etc

the land of sentinel in the US gives me Sugar company, agriculture then natural resources Dominica

but wen you type: the land of the sentinel and imperial explosions
on the first place is What???

Alright. Sentinel and Imperial are both the same phenomenon.

A little more:
Spoiler
Sentinel can also be found as meadows or cone..
[close]
The phenomenon:
Spoiler
They're both geysers...
[close]
The location:
Spoiler
should be easy to find now...
[close]

I now see how fast Google works.. ;-)
And I also see I made a typo on the other page: it's not explosions, just explosion. And yeah, that was cryptic as well...

the bunnies riddle

Am I on the right track?
Spoiler
i used my cell phone, my phone also with the alpabet, yet some strange words came out...I feel that i am close to this solution, and what tool should I use?
[close]

Leon

You're spot on! And the tool: make it portable, not every machine has the right 'decoder'....

Uh, um what? I dont get it. Right decoder? you mean i have to use LEFT decoder? ;D

Leon

Nope. By spot on I meant the way to decipher. But in this case, you need to use another key.

You need to use
Spoiler
a keyboard.
[close]
Not just any...
Spoiler
the one of a laptop.

Alrighty, I finally got passed the first one :P

Now I'm on the second one. I think the biggest problem I'm having is understanding exactly what it is I'm trying to figure out...
Spoiler
I'm guessing that I must type what IT is? Am I the only one who feels like the directions on what to do in this scene are unclear?
Eventhough it took me a ton of hints to solve, at least I knew what my direction was in the first scene, this one I just don't know what's going on. For example, do I even still have the piece of paper with the pencil? Or am I supposed to SAY the answer, or push a button or pull a lever... see what I mean? There's many ways of solving puzzles. I don't know what I have for options, or if they have even changed.
If nothing is different from the first scene, than I assume I will be writing answers on this piece of paper the whole game?

@Leon ahaaa  :o

@snake: correct, only type repeat, hint, save, load, quit and the answer of course

Bulbapuck

@Snake: Look at the hints I got, they helped a bunch, especially the one on this page by Domithan.

and you're supposed to write the answer, yes.

I'm stuck in this room:
Spoiler

[close]
I'm usually good at finding patterns, but I have no clue here. Could I get a hint?

Leon

@Bulbapuck:

Give me a call and I'll help...  ;)

OOoooooooh
That's so clever! I love it ;D Thanks Leon!

LRH

@Snake: Sorry if you're having trouble, but if the directions were clear, this game wouldn't be called 'cryptic' :P

Anyways, as far as a hint:
Spoiler
Look at what's in the picture...think of different words for what it is. Then doing something backwards will help
