DaVinci Code 'jointhequest.com' In tonight's MX, a free Melbourne newspaper there was a full page add about The DaVinci Code.
The add contained the following url written in a strange font:

as well as the following message:

Very nice find Greyelf.
I had fun with the level 1 puzzles.
Also, this is not limited to Australia and New Zealand.
terms and conditions wrote:
"Territories"
means the following five eligible territories:
(1) Great Britain (which for the avoidance of doubt does not include Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands); and
(2) mainland France (excluding DOM-TOM, Corsica and other islands); and
(3) Belgium; and
(4) USA; and
(5) Australia and New Zealand;
Also, I might pay a visit to the cinema. I think I've already solved level 1, but it might be fun anyway.

A clue to help solve one of the Level 1 puzzles of the Eurostar Quest game will be available to view at all Hoyts cinemas nationally, via posters and pop corn boxes from 3 May 2006 until 18 May 2006.
I like the availability of lesser prizes (apart from the 4 major travel prizes)

Delightful game so far - great puzzles - harder than the google quest ones, IMHO. How fast can YOU solve the codex puzzles?

I think is was in the fourties for the codex :/
The bank vault, which comes later, I got one in the fifties
I finished all the puzzles, and now I have to wait until the 19th
They were suprisingly challenging

The codex, my best attempt was 4 tries in 1:28 or so. The bank vault I got in 4 tries in 51 seconds, I think.
And yeah, these are more challenging than the Google ones. Still fun, though.

Geez how can you do it so quickly? My best was 5 tries for the codex around 2-3 mins, then the vault in 4/5 tries in 1-2 mins.
The only good thing is, that it's just like mastermind but different numbers/symbol.
I finished all the puzzles too - 19th May = busy time for me...:S
