The Great Escape (The final dome)

I'm so GLaD you enjoyed it. Thanks for testing.

Geez Louise, Andi. I once suggested you were the beneficiary of a classical education. Turns out I had no idea. Anywho, reached the exit (after peeking at some of the comments, especially those by jandlml) and happy as a clam.

Part 2/2

This puzzle was an experiment. The put much more time into the chambers than the puzzle and if you liked the chambers, then I consider it a success. The chambers after this do have puzzles, but not nearly as difficult and just one per chamber. Best of all, they do not interlock with each other.

If you want to play a chamber that is completely my own invention, (except for one move), I would love to hear what you have to say about last (and maybe final) chamber “The Dream Chamber”.

Thanks again.

Part 1/2

Firstly, Thanks for playing and for the record, I did not read Dan Brown.

Secondly, I'm sorry you didn't like the puzzle, but unlike the chambers themselves, the puzzle is meant to be insanely difficult and cryptic. Did you ever read 'The Maze'. Talk about difficult and cryptic.

Third, If I remember correctly, the hint in the final dome says to “Look at my previous chamber, Y-N-Z” NOT “Play my previous chamber Y-N-Z” Yes I know it's semantics but it's a hard and inexplicable puzzle.

Lastly, Thank you for leaving such a long comment. Most players never leave any comments therefor I have no idea where I went wrong in trying to devise a puzzle. Truthfully though, I have to admit, you do come off as a bit spiteful but I know you're trying to convey what you're opinion and I thank you for it.

Part 2/2:

I really don't want this to sound mean, this map actually brought us a lot of fun. But there are definitely ways to improve it. Firstly, having both colors of numbers, colors of underlining and colors that the text on display says, is really bad. Nobody is going to replay these maps, just because suddenly also the underlining is important. Secondly, the periodic table and Dante's writings are huge puzzle pieces. They cannot(!) be presented as just a prop in a dark room in some random previous map. Thirdly, I even played through your Y-N-Z map and felt cheated.

I might've had other complaints, but all in all: Bad puzzle. I'd be happy to try to solve one more such riddle of yours and see whether you've learned from this failure.

Part 1/2:

Oh, I forgot to comment on this one. So I told my girlfriend there's this cypher in a Portal map that I wanted to check out and since she likes codes and such puzzles, we decided to do it together one evening. I had already played the 7 maps and gotten the 18 numbers and colors.

In the end we cracked the code but we felt not only immence frustration, but we were also finding it hillarious how someone would think this riddle is solveable. It felt impossible without the "hint"-buttons, but even with them, it was a good thing we found real hints in the comments (thanks to jandlml). While reading through them, it was getting funnier and funnier, how the solution is visible only to the author of the puzzle. After beating it and even on the next day, we were still thinking about it, about how you've probably read too much Dan Brown, about what it takes to make a good cypher puzzle, etc.

The key is to find the book in chamber 5. It's located in the observation office.

I enjoyed playing your 7 chamber series, the riddle not so much. I still have no idea what you all are talking about for your solution. Oh well.

Thank you so much, I'm GLaD you enjoyed it and thank you for testing.

i will keep an eye out. i really enjoyed it even though i had trouble. i just was thinking totally in a different direction. but i definitely learned alot
