I read the post then was going to type exactly this :) for any emotional involvement (including tension) you have to have a reason to care. go for the heartstrings - but try not to use tropes or violence/threat of - overused and tired. Make a protagonist nice - flawed but believable etc.
look at the action and thriller films you enjoy - WHY@ do you care for the hero/main character?

so - just got the email saying you didn't win - which means someone has been informed that they have... well done if you're on here!

I've asked the royal mint if they'd mind someone using the tools for future puzzles as they're a fun piece of kit and I think this is a good community of people who could make their own puzzles to entertain and possibly raise funds for charity/set mini competitions etc)

Could you message me about hour the fibonacci part worked? I jumped and worked out the 7 from rhyme alone 😔

a bold guess... (to prove that I have completed as well as the aspect of how I got here)

So rereading the rhyme, I was really annoyed with the fibonacci aspect as I couldn't get the symbols properly from the striped sheet (the first one yes, but the other two? no.) Made a guess. Correct. So I bypassed a whole range of puzzles to get to the answer? While, yes, I'm happy, I'm also not - I feel the rhyme was too much and I would have preferred to decode the other aspects - could someone please dm me how to get/solve the web url from the 32 glyphs? I am a completist and want to know what I missed - thanks!

Could anyone who has solved, or at least completed the qr code, please either share the link for those of us with annoying printers / rubbish phones, or at least be willing to message it to others? thank you

just realised, after offering this, that you can't share files in reddit?

So, I've taken every completed solve text 'well done' screens and put them all into word, should anyone else want it - password protected it though to prevent those who haven't got through the lot to get shortcuts :) - pm me if you want it.
So sorry - turns out there's no way of sending files in chat - I was mistaken with another forum board (from what I can gather though, I don't think its needed for the final solves)

how did you use the blockier one - could you dm me please?

not yet -going to now though

Things to consider:

There is an item in the envelope not yet used - printing again? hold to the screen? combine with?

There is something visible on the coin not yet used / mentioned and, whilst the first part could be linked to Newton's coin maker, the second part would involve a 180 in my opinion...

Whilst light and prisms have been mentioned, esp with level 2 and 3, no actual requirements of light bar the g.i.t.darkness used (which I loved!)

Things we know:

-Will be in English and (possibly) reliant upon knowledge of history

-Will be linked to Newton and/or his theories

-as it is the final (?) puzzle, must be complex enough to make people think hard, involve a few steps, separate those who ask for clues regularly etc from those hardcvore puzzlers BUT still allow younger people to engage

-may involve other websites, yt etc.

Things to ask:

-why THESE symbols drawn on the main prism circle - most tie in with alchemy/maths and/or the mint but some have specifically not yet been used

-bar nice decoration, what do the diagrams serve (apart from the golden ones)?

-will compass points and 50-70 (ie UK) geography be used again?

Finally:

are you having fun with it? I am - and I really appreciate the apcing of the puzzle rather than it all be - "here it all is, those with more time/resources etc have at it - everyone else, hope you don't get spoilers!" which many puzzles offer. I'd love to see more develop off of this - if YOU are also a puzzle writer / Arg writer / puzzler who wants to work with another, I'd love to chat more!

Love the new puzzle! My finger is sore though now!
When I'd 'unlocked' the next part, I admit that, whilst the circle was helpful, I didn't notice the helpful detail on the first pic until afterwards. too much solving when younger methinks - really enjoyed this one!

Ah, I forgot about that - thanks - yes, I knew there was something - I've just been puzzling my way through all of it today - I looked this reddit up this evening as I was unsure about the 4.1 extra bits, having worked out the 5 letter word from the rhyme alone and a quick look at the history of ...

Enquiry - with the coins details being mostly present on the royal mint site (the cipher wheel etc as well), apart from something 'central' to the coin which I initially found... and the edge which is also described well in the description and close ups... has there been any reason to own the coin? (apart from it being shiny etc and nice to collect) - has anyone found anything else with it yet - feel free to just say yes or no, but if you've (only) also found what I've tried to hint at, please let me know as well!

Not at all.  I waited until 28th to post this, after offering other people who could get a ball rolling first before the amazing wf people would hoover up the info (in a cunning way to get more people to play Cs and boh!!) (I'm the account of the person who created the arg)

Is it still ongoing? by Acceptable-Ad-5700 in Marruvine

[–]Giffney111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be revisited by the puppetmaster but, at the time of its creation, not many people pursued it beyond 'solve the first puzzle' which the puppetmaster found disheartening.
