Urban Hunt: Puzzles-New

The Unraveling

enaxor@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:20:46 +0000

I was hosting The Unraveling puzzle trail on my personal site for a while, but it never worked right because I didn't have the wherewithal to fix the Flash file at the beginning. Today, I set it up so that it's properly hosted on its own domain name once more and is playable through to the end.

Enjoy. :)

I hope to get some of Dave's other sites up in the future.

From the solve of the conquerorworm ( http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=92760#92760 )

All the enclosed words are anagrams. The center one is Diablo .

The texts in the gifs points to more Multiple Personality Disorder.
And lots of clues on how to deal with the shapes.

The text edited to represent what I think are clues:

I can see clearly now...
And Yet...
I can feel that evil hex coursing through my mind..
Ach, Der teufel steckt im Detail...

Ah, to take the four hidden corners of ourmy mind,
to bend them, roll them, square them, cube them ""
wait.
we do only have four coners in my our mind doesn't one?
yesyesconfident
we're sure we do
I do
the voices say so
voices with with six sides to everything ...
turn them on end...

am I, are we insane?
no, see
see four with six as one,
one with four personalities, different
as different as night from day...
unique in fact
amazing, so clear!
if this is not insanity, i we then
and yet I us by the facets of my our mind
where can weIwe turn for support?
this is hidden from ImeusWe ever still!
help...

If you look closely at the puzzle (squinting helps) you can see that outside the inner inverted cross is another inverted cross, defined by slightly thicker lines.
The anagrams in the larger inverted cross are: gtliyu guilty
nlhuoy unholy
kdewci wicked
hrrdio horrid
gniaml malign
aliecm malice
opnosi poison
flsnui sinful
and the others for good measure:

[?PUZZLE] Strange Picture (Dr. House's Button)

porq@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 25 Oct 2004 18:14:10 +0000

First of all: Sorry if this isn't important or doesn't fit into this discussion catagory (I'm new at this - this is my first post). Anyway, I noticed in a pic of Dr.Ed House that he is wearing a strange button that seems Photoshopped onto his shirt. It is a shiny silver color, and it looks odd in a black-and-white old photograph. Try this link: http://www.cambridgementalhospital.com/history3.html

I hope this means something/helps. Sorry if it is simply a waste of time.

P.S. With a second glance at the pic - There is definently something... odd about it - I just can't pinpoint what it is...

For discussion of the new page found on TheUnraveling

Star-crossed and tempest-tossed--
Do we not understand that which we fear?
Fear not - I do not speak in tongues.
It is just as if I had died, and here
We are, the phoenix resprung!
Recast, our luck's blood spilleth fair
So come, let us kneel in prayer
For those sacred loved we have lost

And it has a pyramid with text and code.
