Puzzle Box 4


Recommended Posts

Kind of disappointing to solve Backstage just by guessing songs based upon the poster.

After solving the other puzzles, it will be "fun" to deconstruct a "better" path to that solution.

I don't think it was a guess. If you play the notes that correspond to the shapes, it plays "Begin The Beguine."

Star = C

Smile = D

Saturn = E

Heart = G

Butterfly = E

Circle = D

Square = E

Axonometry: A Matter of Perspective Like linear perspective, axonometry helps depict 3D space on the 2D picture plane. ... Axonometry is part of a coherent pictorial language and a valuable ...

Citation: Jan Krikke, "Axonometry: A Matter of Perspective," IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, vol. 20, no. 4, pp. 7-11, Jul/Aug, 2000.

Also: "Unlike linear perspective, axonometry has no vanishing point"

The "topographic map" idea for Room With A View is something I considered a few hours ago. If someone could indeed use the numbers to indicate height, and then look at it from a "ground level" view (if you consider the current 2D view as aerial), something might show up...

Just to clarify, the Bulletin Board clue starts at around 4:00. I thought the Room For A View clue was given during the speech at the beginning of the video ("pattern-seeking... is the axis around which this age of the world will spin"). At 6:57, it's not clear which puzzle the clue belongs to -- the standard def "official" video has horrible color, and the unofficial hi def one was way too zoomed in to be useful -- it almost looks like a solid white arch, which would mean it belongs to Music Charts. It could *also* be totally yellow, which means it could belong to Lost Luggage. (Again, the videos aren't clear enough.)

These are the start times I have so far:

Room With A View (YPY) - 0:24 (intro)

Cliff Climb (RGR) - 2:52

Drive-In (YRY) - 3:24

Search and Rescue (GGG) - 3:31

Bulletin Board (GPG) - 4:00

Memorial Plaque (BYB) - 4:15

Safe (RRR) - 5:47

Backstage (GYG) - 6:19

Captain's Log (YBY) - 7:53

Chess Column (BBB) - 8:35 (only 8 flares)

Unmatched puzzles:

Lost Luggage (YYY) - ??

Music Charts (WWW) - ??

Unmatched start times:

?? - 5:28

?? - 6:57

This is what I saw for that clue in the video 6:54 to 7:24

Thanks, missed that one.

I looked at the video again and I do see that (at 4:00) it looks like the same clue pattern of GGGRRRGGG, but to me the one at 7:00 seems to fit better (and I agree that the quality is questionable), I still don't have a clue what it means...

Has anyone noticed or think it is significant that in Bulletin Board the numbers 13124 are on a continuous color scale. For example, the bottom of the first number (1) has a color gradient into the top of the second number (3) and it continues this way till the end. Basically, the numbers "flow" into each other as if they are on a color scale.

If you watch the HD version, the colors are much clearer, but somethings are still sometimes impossible to tell apart (whites vs. yellows, some blues vs. purples). Here's what it shows...

Some more things to note:

- The words/numbers DEATH, CHASE and 13124 and 42427 (sequence from the video) are all made up of 5 letters/digits.

- You can "transform" DEATH to CHASE with -1/+3/0/-1/-3

So the result might be a 5-letter word to which 13124 is the key. Maybe it needs to be "transformed" using the digits gained from the video, where red fireworks could mean subtract this digit and green could mean add this digit. Didn't work out for me, though...

Possible permutations of VISTA using 13124:

ufrrw

ufrre

ufrvw

ufrve

uftrw

uftre

uftvw

uftve

ulrrw

ulrre

ulrvw

ulrve

ultrw

ultre

ultvw

ultve

wfrrw

wfrre

wfrve

wftrw

wftre

wftvw

wftve

wlrrw

wlrre

wlrvw

wlrve

wltrw

wltre

wltvw

wltve

A few of them look similar to "ultra"... other than that, nothing

this is an excellent theory, however, the pictures with numbers over 26 wouldn't make much sense.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
