Looks hard. And,I have a dumb question. How does a digital download work?
From me,
Silvertongue.
Okay Little j, what's up with the puzzle numbers? Something's going on.... What I dont know, clues to a whole different puzzle perhaps? My friend and I are gonna look these numbers over:)
@Silvertongue -- Not a dumb question at all! If you have a promo code for a sale, discount, or as a prize, you go onto our page, and pretend like you are going to buy the "digital" download copy. After you set up an account, you type in that promo code at the checkout page, apply it and you will see the new price change. For prizes, it will change to say $0.00, and then you continue with the purchase, and then begin downloading to your computer.
@Future HeR Animator -- Hint: Each set of numbers = one letter. Therefore, there are 16 letters you are *looking* for.
i have a question about the kickstarter pledges. in the video Stuart says that anyone who donates gets a copy of the game. does this mean a game for PC/mac or for tablets/smart phones?
I think I figured it out, but the method I have doesn't work!
Hmmm...tricky! I wonder if "Pledge" is a clue somehow...some kind of keyword maybe? I haven't figured out what to do with it yet.
Time for a new hint! Some of us are seriously overthinking this puzzle over at the forum. If no more hints are allowed, please promise to post the solution after the contest to give us some peace!
This was really hard, but I think I got it! It was also really fun!
Thanks!
My sister went on a mission trip to Kenya and Romania. She'd been to Kenya before but she hadn't been to Romania. The more I hear about Romania, the more I think there should be a ND game set there. And Kenya would make an awesome location as well! :D My sister has seen many things on her mission trip, she flew over the Sahara, Paris and saw saw a castle. And not just any castle, a castle in Transylvania! She also told me that she showed some people down in Romania a picture of our family and said that two guys, 15 and 18, straight out told her that they where interested in me! One even asked how to get in touch with me! So I now have to Romanian admirers.... Interesting....
was there a typo?
*Updated*. Also, this cipher is also know as the "book" cipher.
This puzzle was so much fun! I thought I had messed up at first but there was a typo that is now fixed. I hope I win! Oh and LJ, was that you who posted on the weekend puzzle thread on the message boards to tell us that the typo was fixed???
Why hasn't Phoneix added a new vlog??? Is she still an intern for HeR or did she leave???
@Anonymous -- Everyone who pledges at the $10 level or higher will get a copy of the mobile game
@Anonymous -- Yes, Phoenix is still around, and might be working on another video...I'm not sure what she's up to... >.> will have to take a look.
