[Puzzles] Black Letter Game

Heard about this one just today.

If they have not yet reached capacity, it's not too late to get into Round One. Check out the FAQ for more details about the up-front price for all five rounds and how the scoring works.

I know very little, only what's in their FAQ. A group of people I know on in the National Puzzlers League teamed up and had one member buy the physical item, then they did a group solve remotely. I haven't seen any of the puzzles, but I think I remember being told they spent 3-5 hours on one puzzle from the first week. I'm not playing this one, just wanted to pass along the info.

Here you go friends! :)

So my brother signed up.... he got a 8x8x8 box in the mail with this receipt inside and that's about it... he got in late and thinks he might have missed an email or something but right now this is all we have. Please hide any spoilers as we're still working on it too... but damn... I'm stumped.

stumped also

I have solved 2 of the 5 puzzles but am really stuck. Lots of ideas, but feeling discouraged. Would you like to team up?

I'm in Edgewater and on a Black Letter Game team. We've got three out of the five puzzles done, but are at a stuck point. We'd be open to sharing brainpower at some point.

Hello. My team (Oryx and Crake) has just completed the first artifact.

It doesn't hurt to send the answer-bot brief guesses about ideas you might have regarding the direction to take to get a solution.

A brief overview: There are five puzzles on this artifact. who, what, when, where, and a signature.

I have to say that I thought the solution to "when" was fairly arbitrary/inelegant. Especially after how beautifully done the other puzzles were.

Black Letter Game returns

A new sequence is about to begin for "early 2015". This round's FAQ says it will be only four shipments (as opposed to the five in the original game). Subscriptions are being taken at http://www.blacklettergame.com/

First BLL Puzzles
Does anyone have the hints/solutions for the 2012 BLL puzzles?

I am trying to do the last three and the website no longer has hints or solutions. The creators say they don't have them either. I am hoping one of you might have kept them?

Re: Black Letter Game returns

Subscriptions for the 2016 round may be closed now, but I just saw a mention on a puzzle forum (posted last week) which said they found a new batch of artifacts and could accept a few more subscribers.
