Hey, new to board.

I have been working on this game and reading the threads and came across something odd in the past few hours.

I was also stuck on the 0112 coordinates and when entered it would send me to a page not found url. Now it sends me to

http://thehunt.volvocars.net/pagenotfound.htm?path=http://thehunt.volvocars.net:80/us/WAIT

with the word WAIT in there.

for those who were having problems with the pulau site earlier, it appears to be working correctly now.

Most people who are 'playing along' with this game don't realize that you need a valid passport to be a finalist. Those who don't have a passport should note that it will take from 2-6 weeks to get a new/expired passport processed, depending on how much you are willing to pay.

I happen to find this site extremely helpful for the hints and tips, as not all of the 'answers' posted are correct. Sometimes people are missing a number or a word. For the most part I've been able to figure it out by myself, or with the help of my friends irl.

Keep up the good work guys, and if you need help, don't hesistate to ask questions. Someone surely can HELP you get caught up....

ALSO. if you are playing the game, be sure you have a physical copy of the map from a VOLVO dealership, as copies will not be accepted, and you must have it in hand to be a finalist.

Worked through lunch and dinner here and finally made it to Pulau Jong - now just waiting until the 21st. Fun so far and took a while to figure that one out - kept missing that "1" on the far corner tree. How did everyone else do?

Prömetheus,

Consider this for this particular clue:

Where equally the winds collide
The needle is our only guide


I found while playing with the compass on the primary map page, there are several locations on the map where the compass does not point due North. Perhaps this is where they refer to the needle is our only guide. I'll have to play around and see what I can come up with

Pulau Jong riddle-clues

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

(probably used to get the password to enter the island)
Where equally the winds collide
The needle is our only guide

(probably used to solve the island puzzle)
Safely passed Malacca Straights
Once a ship an island awaits
Two circling Serpents entwined so tight
Match both to wake eternal night

a visitor said he came up with curl but not sure if that it's.

For those that are stuck at Isle Saint Mary Tree Puzzle & Saint Helena Ladder Puzzle you'll find the visual answers there as well among other related stuff.


And where did you get these clues?

And why on earth, if these clues are legit, did you post them?

You realize that by posting those clues, if they are legitmate, you might have ended the game for all of us.

Anyone can find this if they know how to look. You only need notepad, lol

Why not? Hardly effects anything anways as you can't "apply" the answer
untill the 21st. by that time everyone will have received the riddle via email for this island.
Only thing it does is give a small jump to what your suppose to do on the hunt map to find the password.

I saw Prömetheus' posts on the "official" Volvo blog and knew what he was up to, as I have been fiddling with the same.

While a newbie to this forum, and not entirely confortable with other newbies blatantly posting answers without helpful clues, I'm thinking the actions of this guy could cripple the contest for anyone seriously trying for the final prize.

Sure, it's possible to cheat and get a bit ahead of the clock... and we could argue that we're safe in the sense that the answers are not immediately visible to cheaters and must still be put together in your head to continue. (The coordinates are only handed to you on Bermuda so far, and I suspect the rest will continue to be more difficult.)

Prömetheus: I would request that you to stay off your high horse on this forum and play nicely. If you want a trump card, I've pulled this out of my time machine:
