THAT JIGSAW PUZZLE FOR CIPHERHUNT WAS THE MOST DIABOLICAL CHOICE MADE IN THE HUNT! GOTTA THANK ALEX’S PAL IAN FOR CREATING IT AND DECIDING TO MAKE IT A PUNISHING 2000 PIECES! SUCH A STRUGGLE! SUCH DELICIOUS AGONY! I REMEMBER HOW MISERABLE IT BECAME!  NOW YOU SHOULD GO BUY IT FOR YOURSELF! IT’S STILL OUT THERE TO BE HAD!  RECREATE THE BURDEN OF SUBJECTING YOURSELF TO UNPAID LABOR FOR DAYS ON END WITH NO REWARD EXCEPT THE COMPLETION! BETTER STILL, GET A BUNCH OF YOUR FRIENDS AND TRY TO NEGOTIATE THE CHORE WITH THEM IN SHIFTS!

Gambling With Destiny Ch. 2

This was originally going to come out on the 28th but it seemed cruel to release a Gambling With Destiny chapter on the Puzzle-June “Heaven” day. This feels far more appropriate.

As such, hey guys. The rewrite’s in official motion. Chapter 2 is live.

Day 7: Hell

AU, because hell is other people (quote by Sartre)

[mephostophilis]

just uncovered a memory about this website called puzzle hell or something like that and it was honest to god the most disconcerting set of puzzles ive ever done and chilled me to my very core

CodeMageddon DAY 7 SUMMARY

DAY 1 | DAY 2 | DAY 3 | DAY 4 | DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8 | DAY 9 | DAYS 10-13 | DAY 14

Hello, CodeHunters!

Well, it has officially been a full week since the beginning of CodeMageddon. And what a week it has been!

At around 2 PM EST today, Discord users ‘the insanely cool jared kleinman’ and ‘the kool aid man’ (aka: the Pidge Twins) headed out for the Marriott in Atlanta, GA! It was a three-hour road trip for them, so they got there at about 5 PM EST. Periscope: https://www.periscope.tv/JARED_KLEINMAN/1vOxwvMZvzEJB

Once they arrived, they set out looking for the Agent they were supposed to be meeting. Agent Sprinkles appeared briefly to pass them a large plastic box and a small bag, then disappeared.

It seems our fears of PuzzleHell v2.0 proved to be true: for the bag that Sprinkles handed them was full of puzzle pieces!

Thankfully, there don’t seem to be 2,000 pieces, nor are they monochrome yellow, like the CipherHunt puzzle from last year. Hopefully, this puzzle will be much easier to solve!

Also inside the puzzle bag was a slip of paper containing what may be the location for the next clue (somewhere in Sydney, Australia):

Are you up for a barbeque? The Olympians sure are. In a park with quite a view. With 200 circles around a star.

And if I were you, Solve the puzzle too.

Our CodeHunters are currently taking this to mean the Bicentennial park (a subset of the Olympic Park) in Sydney. “It’s definitely Bicentennial park, it’s in Sydney Olympic Park, Has free Electric BBQ, Quite a view and Bicentennial stands for 200 years(200 circles around the sun/star)” says Discord user minecraft_is_sky

Hopefully, more info will be revealed through the completion of the puzzle, and the contents of the mysterious box!

Speaking of the box….

This note was found inside of the box that Sprinkles gave to the hunters:

The contents of this box are from the defected time agent Blendin Blandin’s office space. The items encased may show how the agent cracked. We do not condone any use of said items. All files and evidence in box are cleared by TPAES. Do not regard any conspiracy that the agent had claimed to be true. Some files have been removed for evidence bay and privacy. Files that have been removed: File 3216: Flskhu (Cipher) File 0902: Wlph edab lihytyda soda (Time Baby Revival Plan) File 5397: Ruhjrq Wlph vziwfk (Oregon Time Switch) Those files were either destroyed or on file. Contact local time police if files are needed Do not disclose anything in this box to any criminal.

The ciphered parts were decoded by Discord user DeviouslyDoomed.

The box contained collections of files in code, as well as: 2 pink erasers, a huge red Sharpie labeled "Blendin Blandin's Correction Marker", a bag with a single red pen, a bag with 2 party noisemakers, a message pad, and a bag with 2 water guns.

The Pidge Twins decided to wait until they got back home to start going through the files in-depth, so they left the hotel and started on the long drive home. However, they did post pictures of some of the codes for the rest of our intrepid CodeHunters to solve.

And solve them they did! CodeHunters got right on decoding those ciphered files. There were stacks of pages, absolutely covered in text in 6pt font. They were encoded with only a simple Caesarian shift, so our CodeHunters were quickly able to decode the contents as being….

The entirety of the script of The Bee Movie.

When the Pidge Twins reached home, around 9 PM EST, they once again started a livestream: https://www.periscope.tv/JARED_KLEINMAN/1mrGmgkQYbwxy (the stream did die and have to be restarted several times, so be sure to check out those as well!)

In addition to streaming the puzzle-building, they took pictures of every file found within the box, uploading them all to a google drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8l50PZ_nUECLU1KWlFYZUxPYjA

A list of each decoded file can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IvhcgbnRqqOn_9PYJAL5S3cSFNuiqk_4H-GeUQf8Snk/edit?usp=sharing

None of the files seem to be of much importance, containing memes and jokes such as the Bee Movie script, RickRoll lyrics, and random words about potatoes.

In fact, the entirety of this clue seemed to be one big joke, as the puzzle ended up being the Ker-Prank’d image.

And upon close inspection, none of the files from the box seemed to contain a blacklight message (which Agent Sprinkles did confirm). But beyond that: the Pidge Twins couldn’t find any blacklight messages anywhere. Not on the puzzle, or any of the things inside the box, or even the box itself.

Our CodeHunters are left feeling stumped and confused. Was this clue all for show?

To wrap up, the next clue is hidden somewhere in Bicentennial Park in Sydney, Australia, possibly near a barbecue pit. Discord user HopeCvon has suggested that it may be at the BBQ place called Twin Shade Sails near Sundial Amphitheater.

Several CodeHunters are interested in checking that out tomorrow.

Until then!

Happy Hunting! x
