It's a soul sucking room-to-room thing that requires some basic internet skills. But it's fun in a complicated kind of way. You'll see. I expect all of you to zip through it [Wink]

.

I'm at level six, and, for the moment, stuck.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I'm stuck on level 4

Dang it.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Narnia -- you should be able to solve level 4 more than most people speaking Portugese like you do.

I'm stuck on level 5.

Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :

I can't figure out level 3.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Is it supposed to ask you for a user name and password on Level 4? That's why I'm stuck.

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

Stuck at level 7

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

This game is really ingenious. I got to level 7 in ten minutes, but it required googling and source code searching.

Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :

I must just be stupid because i can't even figure out level 2

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Narnia -- forget about what I said about Portugese.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I'm also stuck on level four.

Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :

OK, not so stupid, but I am stuck at level 4 now

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

Don't worry, level 7 is threatening to make my head explode. And I hear there are 120 levels.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Never mind, I figured it out! Woohoo, now to figure out level 5...

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

yes, the next couple levels are about figuring out the password. I got stuck on 6

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I figured it out for 5, I just can't figure out where to put it!

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Got it!

*moves on*

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

I'm on level 9, I quit.

Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :

Someone linked me to that last spring. I spend a lot of time bored in my apartment, so I played that. I don't recall where I ended up. It was way far in though. In fact, some of the later ones are just super super tricky, and when you search for clues to figure it out you may accidently stumble on a site with the answer already listed (even in the search listing).

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

I did this awhile ago, but I can't remember how to get past some of the levels.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I'm still stuck on seven. I managed to get to the "too new" thing, but I don't think that's it. Is it?

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

ok, so give me a small hint for level four. Where do I even LOOK for the password? Do I just try every variation of flashlight?

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

It's nothing to do with flashlights or any kind of lamp. LOOK.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Oops, I found the answer to level seven by mistake, when I was googling clues.

Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :

Grr. I'm looking in level 4, but... I can't find anything at all. Why?

Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :

For level 4, make sure your monitor is bright enough. The monitor on our internet computer is working on dying, and it is impossible to see the clues on it because it is too dark.

That said, I got annoyed at level 5 and went and did something else. I'm not very good at these kinds of riddles.

Posted by Swampjedi (Member # 7374) on :

I'm totally stuck on six. I don't see anything that looks like ASCII? There's the imagemap coordinates, but one of them is >127...

<stuck>

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Level 4 - first "character" looks like 4 components which of course can't be right. And I can't figure out where to break it if it's not where the second line begins.

Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :

I think I got 4, but it still won't go through. Can I send what I think it was to someone, to see if it's right?

Posted by Zarex (Member # 8504) on :

Level 16, dang this game is hard.

Posted by Zarex (Member # 8504) on :

But I should add that I had help from my programming professor.

Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :

never mind, now I'm on level five and figuring this one out somewhat easily.

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

I don't think I'm computer savvy enough to get far in this game. Darn. [Frown]

(Stuck on level 4 for now)

Posted by Zarex (Member # 8504) on :

Anyone want spoilers?

This isn't a spoiler per say, but it does help. If you try to book mark a level, you can get a hint on how to solve it. That helped me a lot.

Posted by Vasslia Cora (Member # 7981) on :

I feel dumb, I can't get past level 2.

Posted by B-HAX (Member # 6640) on :

level 8, I am hooked Teshi, thanks, looks like I'll be watching the sun come up!

Posted by Vasslia Cora (Member # 7981) on :

Yeah, now I am on level 3!

Posted by Vasslia Cora (Member # 7981) on :

Evil, thats what this game is, pure evil.

I'm stuck on level 4.

Posted by TheHumanTarget (Member # 7129) on :

Level 14 has me stuck...something to do with the correct French spelling...

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

B-Hax, I'm also stuck on level 8.

Posted by human_2.0 (Member # 6006) on :

I made it to level 10 before I decided to cheat. Then it was just all downhill... [Big Grin]
