Need some help!

Post by HotDog-Cart »

Hey guys. A while back (2 years or so) I played a really wicked browser based game. It was like a puzzle game.

You started on page 1, and had to figure like some code to type into the url to get to page 2. So on and so forth. Some puzzles requried you to search something on google and find a certain website and enter a specific quote from it to proceed onto the next page. It was really tricky. Started to get impossible by like level 15. There were tons of levels.

Basically on every page there was a different puzzle that had a different answer. To find the awnsers you had to do some sort of math or puzzle question or use google or something. This game could unbore ANYONE.

Can anyone tell me what this is called? (Its somewhat like hackthissite but a lot less technical and more based on common sence and such).

Thanks.

I remember this too. I think it was a "learn how to get the most out of Google" thing. I remember you had to use Google to look up answers to questions. I also remember trying to break the system to get the answers. It didn't work out to well, as your answer would be hashed and that result was the URL for the next question. Very clever.

I'm not sure hawkes. Only about 13% of the questions used google. The other puzzles told you to go to certain web pages, and you had to find the awnser on the webpage. Also some other puzzles made you look at the sourcecode of the page to find a password or certain keyword.

May have been a different one. I couldn't find the one I remembered either. Oh well.

How far have you gotten? The game is notpron. There are a lot of knock offs but this one is the original and best. http://deathball.net/notpron/

When I played last, I was on level 50! It gets very hard.
