Has anyone got past Saint Helena yet? The ladder you have to climb with all those numbers is driving me mad. I used to be a navigator so cannot understand how I am supposed to count all the numbers to come up with a destination. Help!


*sighs* I tried ... really, I did.

Just got a clue email...

Quote:

Four corners framed in all that's blue
At tentacles' ends, do glue both two


I can't make any sense of it, but it's supposedly a hint for the trees..?

Hmmm... well now thats not the clue i was expecting, nor does it seem to represent this 21st keyword, in any case your game map will look like this if you get it right..

am i along the right lines here?

i've tried slough of 3, 4 trees, 4trees, sloughof3, 34trees etc etc and nothing's working. i've even tried graveyard and cemetery but they don't work either. am i on the right bit?

also, has anyone noticed that when you use the card with the skull on it, move it about the land on the map and you'll see red writing with X's and O's on it, and it even spells 'LIFE' just above 'Blue Tree' on the map?

you need to access the games UK site in order for the new keyword to work
the other sites including US are always behind the UK one.

http://thehunt.volvocars.net/uk/thehunt

Surprises me that they updated it, even if you get the keyword we are still unable to enter Pulau Jong untill the 21st

Makes sense with the card back on the main map - to help identify how to read trees

It's got nothing to do with trees

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Use the Card, 4 corners framed in Blue, look for where the tentacles glue.


That should help. All the clues are in the riddle in last email.

I've done the riddle bit but how do you work out the co-ords?

IS this the last part until the 21st now?
