 		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:

jointhequest.com

as well as the following message:

16 clues 2 cities The ultimate prize[/b]

 		Very nice find Greyelf. Smile

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. Smile
terms and conditions wrote:
11. Clues may occasionally be provided to assist in completion of the puzzles, for example by directing you to pertinent information outside the Microsite. The Promoter reserves the right to include new clues or amend clues during the course of the Promotion. 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)
Quote:
6. End of Level Prizes: the following End of Level Prizes are available for players from Australia and New Zealand:
100 Da Vinci Code Soundtrack CDs,
100 Sony Playstation 2 Da Vinci Code Videogames,
15 copies of the Illustrated Collector's Edition of The Da Vinci Code,
10 Sony Ericsson K750i camera phones,
5 Sony PSP portable entertainment systems
and 5 Sony Playstation 2 consoles, including a Da Vinci Code Videogame.

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

 		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
