Some people just never listen.  I told you all to STAY AWAY!  Now your fates are sealed...  KD, what's happening? I know it works fine with MIE on a Windows machine, are you running something else? Read the entire first riddle which gives some instructions on how it works. If you right click on the black part of any page you can select "view source" which will display the markup text used to generat the page. It very often contains some hidden text, a reference to a secret file, or info & hints on solving the riddles. You simply type the correct answer to teh current riddle in place of "whatever".htm at the end of the URL to advance to the next one. The URL is redirected automatically when you move to a new area and the riddle number is displayed in the source text because some riddles have multiple parts. Read the forums if you are having trouble or post here and I will help. I recommend creating a DR folder in your Favorites and bookmark every single page you end up on because you may have to revisit a previous riddle to solve the one you're on. It's already happened to me once. I figured most of it out on my own so far but there was a few that I had to look to the forums for hints on after spending awhile unsuccesfully trying to solve it. Sometimes you are just thinking about it the wrong way and a hint can get you on the right track without spoiling it but other times you just have to Google the hell out of it until you learn enough to divine the answer from the context. It's really quite addicting.  Tweet, Pho, keep at it because the more you get into it the easier it is to anticipate what you need to do to solve each riddle. God help us all, there's over 80 riddles to solve before facing Dracula himself!  |

Okay, LCARS - it's definitely your fault. I'm plotting numbers and coming up with nonsense, so I'm blaming you. Page 6 is killing me! Okay, nevermind. Makes sense when you can spell... |

Tweety, on this one you have to look at the view source to get anywhere.

Akansan, 1: I can't get source code on the imaginary image A nor B (is this normal?)
2: found the second image, plotted out the words & I get "what am I?" yes indeed, what is it? tried many word combinations & still can't find the right words to get to the 7th riddle...

AH! That's where you are!
Take a look at the way the letters are written for the title on that page. What is THAT?

Akansan set you a PM
Xena, on the site they have a forum for answering questions - and if you search the web with that question, you can find a forum where they give hints and answers in a roundabout way...

Ok stuck on page 2....all the words are uselsess as far as I can tell LOL The clue to solving that one is in the source hint at the bottom. Remove "are" yet" & "the" from the photo text then use the hint in the source at the bottom and see if it makes any sense. Alot of times you have to plot things out on paper or a word processor to mess with. Always keep things in the same format as you see them. I almost missed one because I didn't keep the format when I was working. Don't forget, many of these are devious and clever. Some are deeper than what's on the surface and others are simpler than they seem. Assume nothing. Oh-ya, source text is only available when viewing the .HTM files so it's normal not to have any when it's a .JPG. |

Here's a hint for #6 Tweet
Have a look at the answer you got and note that it has a unique characteristic about it. The unique characteristic of the answer you got is the actual anwser to the riddle and why it asks you "What am I?" if you just type in the answer. Get used to having to interpret an answer in order the find the "real" answer to the riddle. If asked a question(s) always answer. If it's not the right answer to the riddle it may lead to additional info/hints or directions on how to get it.

OK, time to get those skeletons out of the closet. Who's playing and how far have you got so far? I'm at 16 right now until I figure out what to do with what I have so far... EDIT: I just had a revelation, make that 18 now.  |
