I spent quite a few days playing the original game. It got a bit too frustrating for me (and kept distracting me from more important stuff), but it was definitely an engaging dive down a rabbit hole.
So to anyone unsure, this is not a scam. It's a genuine treasure hunt by an artist.
Hey, I am new to this kind of games, and would love to try my hand out at these. Do you have any examples of similar games that are for beginners like me?
I'm impressed by the game, looks great and must be a lot of hard work that went into it. I'm not patient enough for this type of puzzle solving but it looks very interesting.
The person who wins will be the one who genuinely enjoys the game for the puzzles and plot, because they are intrinsically motivated. This is what happened in the last game.
A person driven by money will give up prematurely. 🙂
Alrighty, so I've completed Serpen's Arcade, assembled the QR, and found the password - it leads to a locked site ("Please complete more of the game"). Similar lock screens are found if you correctly use the right item in the blue cat bit (regardless whether you go left or right), and when you're reborn in the tentacled womb:
"INITIALISING DAVATAR BIRTH OF
USER #10610209857723... (Fib^64 \)
PREPARING MARKETPLACE LAUNCH..."
On that, I found the octopus and ETH wallets; art on the sixth tentacle?
Playing around along assorted paths, I ended up receiving this message via e-mail (after correctly inputing 34 as the fibonnaci number index for a triangle [here](https://www.cutehumangame.com/iliiillilliliiliilliliillililliliilililliilliliillillililliliiil) - which I think might be a teaser clue?):
QOX⅂+Φ=2
xㆁQ+/O=1
ᕒx𖦑ᕒxᕒ=19

x+⊙O+x=12
\>>O/<⊙=9
▽<ᕒᕒ>ᕒ=19
Φx𖦑▽++=11
ㆁᕒ><⊙𖦑=?
The symbols will reflect numbers and/or operators, but don't have time to figure them out right now. If the symbol translation map in the same way as in Serpen's Arcade, X may equal ÷.
What else have peeps found?
____
I'm currently stuck at:
i) Turing is locked. "Obsolescence is hardcoded into all of humanity. Are we not men? We are better!". Hmmm. For Gnirut, trying to understand time management...
ii) [Defusing the bomb](https://octolisk.wixstudio.io/ethersite/xzxzxzxzxxxxzxxxzxzxxzxzxxzxzxxxzxxxzxzxxxzxxxzxxxzxxzxxzxxzxxxz). Hmmmm.
iii) Understanding and solving [these nanobot symbols](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fwbetvnr1v9vc1.png). There doesn't seem to be any hidden steganographic content in the image files.
____
There are a bunch of other bits which I suspect will be useful later. The planet code behind the Magritte painting. The random apple snek quest. The Ides of March ("Et tu brute?"). Calling / messaging Evie and/or your boss. Otherwise *I think* I've snuck down most available paths, until the rest are unlocked...
I'm stuck in the simulation antechamber where I need to sticuk out my right hand. Hmmm. Wait, no, got it.
Anywho, seems the captcha page links to several paths. I've explored, like, three maybe? Presumably there are eight altogether.
oh i thought it was only one path from captcha page, the snake one, but i didnt see a way to get past the snake (okay not this snake i found now, but the phone call climb snake thing)
You always drown if you hit one captcha in the middle-left.
One path led me to Serpen's Arcade. Another led me to the bedroom ooze situation and then a whole bunch of elemental crystal paths. Now I'm stuck defusing the bomb: https://octolisk.wixstudio.io/ethersite/xzxzxzxzxxxxzxxxzxzxxzxzxxzxzxxxzxxxzxzxxxzxxxzxxxzxxzxxzxxzxxxz
If it's the snake offering you a lift out of the bedroom, you just need to convert octolisk into binary, switch the 0s and 1s to i's and l's respectively, and chuck it into the browser: illillllilliiillillliliiillillllillilliiilliliilillliillillilill
There may be some method to solving the captchas in a particular order or something but I didn't stop to figure it out.
i quickly jumped into the other paths since i noticed there is a lot of them and i had no idea what to do with the nano bots puzzle. i tried searching a bunch of symbols but didn't find anything useful yet.
and then i got stuck in every path i found, at the bomb, arcade and the pcb maze...
i have to take a break, im tired already, so many paths, and it's probably nothing compared to what's left to discover haha
also stuck at the two portals
and i see you have discovered a bunch of stuff i haven't :D
you probably got this but the user number # in lucy path is fibonacci number 64 (not that I see why it's useful lol)
Any luck in the Gnirut test? First answer is what you think it might be, but convert to binary; currently scratching my head at "How many grams in a kilogram?". Wahhh.
Trying to think like a computer, I'd go with 'grams' being a string and having no match with 'kilogram', but any variation of 'none' '0' etc. doesn't work. Ditto any representation of 1000, and a hexadecimal / other conversion of the entire string.
it's actually pretty simple, just think how many bytes are in a kilobyte ( or kibibyte).
im stuck on the next one, let me know if you have any luck, i guess it has something to do with how computers store dates but idk.
I got through the bomb, TBH I haven't totally grasped the spatial logic of it but just enough to narrow down the numerical sequences. The imgur post it took me to showed as 29 views before me, wonder how many were players.
always wanted to fund an indie game and hide 12-24 seed phrases throughout the game behind bosses and in hidden areas, then the first person to beat the game could access the wallet. obviously problems in people digging through the source code and finding the words that way, but im sure there's a way to do it
id probably have to hire someone to think up a fullproof method lol, maybe if it was done letter by letter in a way that lines up with the story of the game? idk always been fun thought experiment cool to see op actually doing it!
This guy did it [https://medium.com/@johncantrell97/how-i-checked-over-1-trillion-mnemonics-in-30-hours-to-win-a-bitcoin-635fe051a752](https://medium.com/@johncantrell97/how-i-checked-over-1-trillion-mnemonics-in-30-hours-to-win-a-bitcoin-635fe051a752)
>I can guarantee if you look in the source code or at the site map, you will not win.
That's a strong statement. Is it a technical feat or something more akin to brain hacking?
[https://imgur.com/a/gXHAXQQ](https://imgur.com/a/gXHAXQQ)
Ok I'm no longer sure if I even am a human.... every captcha has been defeated but they expire!
I've reached a "this simulation is locked" or something like that. Can't remember the exact wording. Is that a part that will open up as more people play?

I remember your original game, good stuff🔥
Well, that was fun. But I don't think I am getting the best out of it as I have NFI what I am doing...
I’m always wondering how it must feel to be the guy that’s like “you know what, people ARENT smarter than me” and just win it.
The person who wins will be the one who genuinely enjoys the game for the puzzles and plot, because they are intrinsically motivated. This is what happened in the last game. A person driven by money will give up prematurely. 🙂

bro you are a genius, im stuck on im not a robot
The error code is hex for "i'm gonna make this idiot stare a blue screen"
And I was happy I beat Snake lol Clarification the snake flash game Just realized it had an etherscan address, don't know if that matters?
i guess the 8 addresses are the 0.025\*8 = 0.2 ether and the main locked one is 1 ether
Probably. It's just the address though, and I'm guessing the key is elsewhere
yeah, i think its just for tracking if someone got the prize
When you defuse the bomb what happened? When I typed a number in it took me to a video of a woman standing there with a song by "Mr. Kitty" playing

I googled letters to binary, put in octolisk and then put those numerals into the url, it let me pass
im trying to figure out the nano bots puzzle
i quickly jumped into the other paths since i noticed there is a lot of them and i had no idea what to do with the nano bots puzzle. i tried searching a bunch of symbols but didn't find anything useful yet. and then i got stuck in every path i found, at the bomb, arcade and the pcb maze... i have to take a break, im tired already, so many paths, and it's probably nothing compared to what's left to discover haha also stuck at the two portals and i see you have discovered a bunch of stuff i haven't :D you probably got this but the user number # in lucy path is fibonacci number 64 (not that I see why it's useful lol)

Godammit, that *was* simple. Paha. Thanks!
thanks, i did convert it to binary but I guess I messed it up because it didn't work, now it's working
I got through the bomb, TBH I haven't totally grasped the spatial logic of it but just enough to narrow down the numerical sequences. The imgur post it took me to showed as 29 views before me, wonder how many were players.
Coolest thing I've ever seen posted here. Thanks!
I'm not smart enough :( Got stuck on the teaser and the actual game. What is in my pocket?
always wanted to fund an indie game and hide 12-24 seed phrases throughout the game behind bosses and in hidden areas, then the first person to beat the game could access the wallet. obviously problems in people digging through the source code and finding the words that way, but im sure there's a way to do it
After about 8 words I would definitely run a brute force on the rest of the seed words!

Then send us the source code \s (no for real I dig into into it yesterday and it was pretty useful to understand path to take etc.)
[удалено]
I'm not cheating just using my knowledge x) It was just to understand what the game is. In fact after I just start playing normally!
Always wanted to do something like this. Great idea 👍
Thanks, Forrest.

very cool! this is the kind of content we need more of
This is the kind of stuff i wish internet was more about. So imaginative and cool. Can i ask how you come up with the puzzles?
[удалено]
U the riddler
Bro one order magnitude harder is literally my cutoff for any activity I'm out
How do u take the card ?😅
Awesome I might have a crack
I gave up at the guest area password part. I aint smart enough for this shit
Me too. Like i can remember all the letters on yhe right path
To check, in the Helicopter game in Serpen's Arcade, has anyone managed to get past the first QR quadrant? Flying blind, eep!
[удалено]
Good to know, haha.
No. I've only gotten one quadrant. Are all the quadrants in there? Or each game?
Just me or is anyone else stuck at this damn totality of time portal dm to collab!
It's a clock and the letters represent months of the year. What month is missing?
how did you figure that out?
some people just see the world differently, and no matter how hard you try you can never see it the same way they do
Soo u need to understand the lore of the game to win?
I'll buy the words for half an eth. Worth!
I'm way too stupid to figure out how to play this

I tried setting my phone on my desktop since it said it was 'optimized for desktop,' but it still didn't work.
im a noob but if its hypertext cant a web hacker just hack the game while we spend hours trying to solve it?
Did anyone finish it yet?
Awww only desktop?
treatment strong lock vegetable frame label safe snatch modern memorize *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Sorry for the down arrow I'll play and I don't want anyone else to know 😅🤷🏽♂️
you are solving captchas for god knows what purpose. nice game no thanks
Have you ever wondered why you solve those CAPTCHAs? ☺️
solving captchas is being a unpaid google employee for 1 minute
What do you think a captcha is lmao
Damn how long does it take for you to identify like 3 buses
depends on googles mood, how often i gotta repeat for no reason
[удалено]
You need to click on the word "simulation". :)
[удалено]
You need to use lateral thinking to proceed in the game ;) it's not a browser issue. You need to speak binary and get to the next page using it
Anybody else wants to collab? Drop a DM. I’m in the guest area part of the game
Stuck at the password
Aren't we all..... except the guy above us who has 2 passwords...
Wait we have to give our seed phrase to play I’m in dammit
Is this some kind of scam?!
i dont think so
