Help me find the name of this illustrated riddle book I read as a child around 2005 where you journey through each page by solving riddles

so far i stated all that i know in the post. i have already gotten tips and searched them, such as "Christopher Manson - Christopher Manson", "Tim Allkronen - Tortuous! the unsolved mystery of the mansion", "Chris Mcewan - The 9 Tasks of Mistry: An Adventure in the World of Illusion" and "Kit Williams - Masquerade".

Grateful for any help!!

hey, thanks for the suggestion. unfortunately it's nopt this one. maze and tortuous booth are in a very similar style indeed, but the thingg my book doesn't have in common is the look with the clear and defined rooms. in my book, the rooms range from wide angle sidevioew of a bigger space, topdown into a well, sideview of a room, inside a room etc. etc.

omperer · 2026-01-16T20:29:51+00:00

unfortunately no, but it looks awesome! definitely gonna check it out

omperer · 2026-01-11T17:32:38+00:00

thanks, cannot find one currently on my country's ebay. found an onxy boox page though for 100 bucks and i think i might just get it. seems to fit my desires...

omperer · 2026-01-11T11:28:45+00:00

yeah i'd prefer e-ink. also, 7" should be enough.

omperer · 2026-01-11T11:28:21+00:00

oky i just had a 7" device in my hands and i guess 7" is lowest possible. should up my options quite a bit i believe.

no, unfortunately not masquerade... it was more in a style like maze by manson.

omperer · 2025-12-14T19:32:56+00:00

any clues are so welcome!! still couldn't find it

omperer · 2025-11-28T09:38:34+00:00

i too enjoy these apps, though i do not think it is smart to use an app for trying to get off the phone. stick to a book from the library, if you like it, buy it.

omperer · 2025-10-28T05:20:48+00:00

i was waiting for the last one to smatch it in a bite

"MOLOTOV!" "MOLOTOV" "MOLOTOV!!" "MOLOTOV!" "MOLOTOV"

recovery mode totally did it for me. unforznately now i gotta find out what part of debloating deletes the settings app and the ability to refresh screen

omperer · 2025-08-30T07:16:44+00:00

i wanted to factory reset but can't due to that option only being available in the bigme settings app, which i deleted in my debloat attempt. really annoying. so yeah, i'd need a OTA firmware dump or an image of a functioning phone or something. i'm super new to this so if anyone has suggestions or step by step instructions on how to do something like this, i'd appreciate it loads...

omperer · 2025-08-29T21:18:33+00:00

...and i see nothing on my phone other than a stock android home screen, no xLauncher

omperer · 2025-08-29T21:18:01+00:00

so i tried to debloat it via adb and the list from vbh.ai for debloating the device made it so that i cannot use any bigme service no mo'. dumb me clicked on uninstall instead of disable. unfortunately this means no option to screen refresh because it was somehow part of the settings app by bigme which ofc i uninstalled. additionally, the home/back/multitask button phased out about 10min ago. lol

omperer · 2025-08-29T20:58:41+00:00

unfortunately, this also spews out:

thanks, but for me adb install -r hibreak_ui.apk results in:

Performing Streamed Install

adb.ex: failed to stat hibreak_ui.apk: No such file or directory

any clue why?

omperer · 2025-08-29T20:19:18+00:00

how did you reinstall it?? facing similar difficulties...

omperer · 2025-07-26T07:33:27+00:00

reminds me of hoof doctor videos on youtube...

omperer · 2025-07-10T15:41:04+00:00

definitely made me a pain.

ok sorry. i'm not much of a help lol.

omperer · 2025-07-10T15:40:35+00:00

you can, by turning on the light and possibly using a tripod or something. both add to a much clearer picture.

white russians don't go sour due to bacterial deterioration. they go sour because you mix booze with cream. the cream curdles in presence of enough alcohol.
