Good for you, I hope to see you catch up with zobraks. I’m not participating anymore. Not officially anyway.

Oh, come on, where’s the fun in gaining on you, then?
BTW, “Headlines” is my favorite game so far and one of my favorite games in the history of AG quizzes - there are tiny screenshots, but also several hints hidden in the description, and you can choose whatever way to decipher them. I expected more puns, to be honest , and I was reading too much into some of them, like I thought that “May have been stoned” is a dead giveaway for The Omega Stone (I haven’t played either Barrow Hill & The Omega Stone, but I knew it has something to do with the archeology). Also, I haven’t played Riven and thought that “Island Collapse Imminent” and “Despotic Leader Still at Large” had to be Sinking Island, without paying too much attention to the screenshot.
Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale

Okay. I got 4 masks right and 5 headlines. You do the math.

Yeah, I love the headlines too.
Also, I haven’t played Riven
!!!!!

Hehe. Me too. And I’ve played both games.

DarkEye - 01 November 2015 08:27 AMI don’t recall that blue-masked guy from BS2.
And I’ve played this game twice!
It’s from the intro scene in from of the temple. (See below)
Several people guessed Sinking Island for Riven. I hadn’t thought of the similarities between the two when I made the puzzle, but I included the photos, just in case that would happen with any of them.
The first Week 4 challenge has been posted, and the second will follow in an hour or two. The deadline has been moved to Sunday, Nov. 7 at 6 PM GMT.

As usual, the creature care puzzle is really fun and entertaining. Ever considered a career in game design Lady K?

The Creature Care puzzle: wow! Just… wow!
I have no idea how to summarize that for the recommendations thread, so I had to stick with “intricate map with directions”.

I’ve absolutely loved all Lady Kestrel’s challenges so far but when I looked at Creature Care I thought OMG I can’t do that one but never say never so I’ve been working on it for a few hours - well, I’m not sure that I’m going to get too far (but you never know!) but I think the puzzle is brilliant!

I’m also loving Creature Care so far! Come on chrissie, I know you can do it… You made it through Tuttut’s Tomb Maze, didn’t you (two years ago)? Now THAT was a killer puzzle!

Tuttut’s Tomb Maze well might have been a killer puzzle Trunkyo but not half as much as Creature Care!

Thank you! Creature Care might seem intimidating at first, but it’s fairly straight forward as long as you write everything down.
SoccerDude,
I spent my career making games and puzzles for the students in my speech and language therapy groups. Now I just do it for fun.
Trunkyo,
I blame Tuttut on those silly mummy movies and yearly visits to the British Museum.
The Underground puzzle is up now, but the graphics are a bit wacky. I’m going to see if I can straighten them out a bit. Grrrr to Photobucket!

Well, I had planned on participating but got so sick with whatever upper respiratory crud is going around, my brain wouldn’t function. But now that I see the Creature Care puzzle, I don’t think my brain would function no matter how I felt!
I must say it feels very strange to not be helping LadyK “behind the scenes” as much as I could as I’ve done for many years. She sure can put on an adventure game challenge!

I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well, Drac. I do miss my score checker!

Draclvr, I’m so sorry that you are not so well & hope that you’ll get better.
