After the event they posted first the three pictures you mentioned, we were all discussing that the

resolution was very poor and it was kind of hard to figure what some clues were showing,

several minutes later they posted the three additional closeups with better resolution.

So, Loki (or 42 entertainment in general) is clearly watching this forum.

VP really makes me want to go watch "The Game".

Hey guys, I do not see any thing referenced here about the red lettering an the bottom of the two last pages in the Tale of two brothers puzzle, it looks to me like PT.O ant a mirror immage of that on the previous page.

Has anyone seen or mentioned this?

PTO = please turn over

They also changed the train into a woman when we couldn't find the magician responsible for the trick on postcards.

The calandar says "recut movie" for tomorrow (the 20th), I wonder if one of the movies will dissappear or change.

Yeah, and they forgot something important on February 15th ...

"Install first security patch for Windows Vista"

...just kidding while we keep waiting ....

Cheers

Someone mentioned that the Rabbit trail was coming out of the fire - weird.

No one has seemed to mention that that rabbit had to be walking on his front paws because there are no back paw prints.

It's also a weird pattern on the floor - spelling something?

I agree. I posted something saying that the map had been updated two days after i finished that puzzle. It said the 15th instead of the 13th, meaning someone had to change something. Then Loki said something about going thru the window two week after she blocked the door... this is the only puzzle with a pop-up Window. No one really knows what to do with this info though. Any one wanna take a guess atleast?

just to see if anyone have pay attention to the gold circles that appear on the 2 puzzle, they are 11 circles and it is missing one. you can see the pictures here. Sorry if this is to big but i needed to show you the complete window.

Please forgive my free-form thought process here, but I wanted to put my 2 cents in.

I know this has already been discussed, but there seems to be a major sundial theme going here. I'm finding sundials in the locations where the "events" are set to occur. ....2 in Singapore, in public parks.... which is another common thing. The "events" seem to occur in public parks, likely because it's an easy and free location for folks to gather together to view the events. But there are things about the parks themselves that should be explored further, I'm looking for common elements, will post more as I find them.

I found some interesting info here http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/teaching/heavenly.shtml about the Singapore sundial among many many others.

And as I was hunting around for more sundial info (there's one in Gas Works park, (pictured in Box 4 - yet to be opened) and I ran into some info on this cool bridge in California. The whole bridge is a sundial, in Turtle Bay Exploration Park. http://www.turtlebay.org/sundial/sundial.shtml

Now, all this sundial stuff got me thinking about what can disapear. Obviously, when the sun is directly over a sundial, time disapears, but also things that change from one state to another can essentially, disapear, like a solid to a gas. ...gas works...

....probably also already discussed, the 27th of January is a full moon. There's such a thing as a moondial apparently.

Just food for thought. stretching my brain for the big day tomorrow, I can't wait!

OK before I go to sleep for a couple of hours a last post.

I'm taking bets of what Loki is going to say when she lower her glasses on the next video,

my guess is "only 12 puzzles LEFT before I vanish" ... this glasses thingy is killing me !!!!

See ya later ...

:yes:

Hi guys, Ive been following this thread for some time now and finally decided to become a member. So a big hello to everyone.

I have been looking at the historical buildings background in upcoming puzzle box three and discovered that one of the buildings is THE NATIONAL GALLERY - TRAFALGAR SQUARE. http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/plan/default.htm

Could the next set of puzzles be connected to art galleries?

Edit: Sorry confusio already posted all this info. Sigh you guys rock.

Quietly crawling back under my rock

    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
