[Bronwyn]

Couldn't find this one here.

This is an online riddle, try to figure out the answer to get to next level.
You can play here (http://www.soulmanager.net/).

Read the rules as they contain important info!

There are more than 80 levels, I'm at 16 at the moment.

(This is first time I'm submitting a new game, I hope I'm doing it right...)

How did you solve level 9? I got to the two hint screens by going to 002345.htm and 0x002345.htm but can't figure out what to do next. I think I'm supposed to edit the image? I am confused.

[Bronwyn]

rdxtion, you need to see picture's exif info.

[brainisdead]

stuck on level 4. that code isnt helpful

[Bronwyn]

Brain, what do you see on picture?

That code is important, you'll need it and other codes later. I wonder if I should mention it in the first post, too...

[brainisdead]

I read the hints. I think I already quit. I don't like giving my email address out to random games to progress.
Can only see woods and some weird building on image.
quit there i guess. seemed pretty rubbish anyway.

[ozchick]

could I get a little help on 6 plz

[brainisdead]

ditto, something to do with smileys?
hey oz, hows u?

[ozchick]

ditto, something to do with smileys?
hey oz, hows u?
hey brain, good thanks, and yea I thought it might be that too, but not sure how to work it out!!! Story of my life, lol

[brainisdead]

i tried to google smiley codes but nothing matched that 1st, closest was viking but its 2 dots, not a semi colon

[Bronwyn]

Brain, you are right with smileys, but they are also called what? Hint is also for you, ozchick.

[ozchick]

Brain, you are right with smileys, but they are also called what? Hint is also for you, ozchick.
oh doh, and I was googling that word, lol thanks

[brainisdead]

hmm. obvious answer for 7 didnt work?
they dont want who sang it then.

is someone noting all these codes because i'm not bothering

[Bronwyn]

Have you tried b*** name? Maybe you have wrong b***, have you checked source?

[brainisdead]

i already tried them. wasnt it.
cant believe more than 1 band would write a song called that.

[Bronwyn]

Try to google last line of text under picture, that should help you. And remember the source hint.

[brainisdead]

very red herring that actually.
found egg on level 8.
how to use it or another red herring?

[Bronwyn]

I think you have found r****p******? Go back to level 8 and w****p******. If you compare picture name in this level to picture names in previous levels, there is a difference. Fix that.

[brainisdead]

cant say as i've noticed image names.
guess i'm scuppered there then.
dont see anything different

[Bronwyn]

I'll pm you, this is hard to hint without giving too much.

[rdxtion]

Thanks for this info.

rdxtion, you need to see picture's exif info.

I finally got it!!!

[brainisdead]

great. so i cant progress to stage 2.

[Bronwyn]

Do you need help at 9? Or is it about email thing?

[brainisdead]

why create an email account just to play this.
stupid idea on the creators part.
many and most riddles get by without ever needing your email address.

i guess i'm done. way to ruin what was a decent game too.

[Bronwyn]

I just thought that option if you don't want to use your current account. I myself don't see a problem using my current email account to get un's and pw's. But if you want I can pm you the un and pw to stage 2 so that you can progress.

[Lebnny]

why create an email account just to play this.
stupid idea on the creators part.
many and most riddles get by without ever needing your email address.

i guess i'm done. way to ruin what was a decent game too.you don't need to create an account to play the riddle. I use my hotmail address and the auto respond email from soulmanager.net goes directly to the junk file. I prefer it that way, but to each there own. The codes for each level are collected then emailed to the riddle maker for username/password to get into the next stage. It's done to cut down on cheating....
from the rules link...


In every level you can collect a code by clicking the upper left number. Keep this code (write it down). You will need them at the end of a stage to get access to the next stage.
The further you come the harder it gets. But be sure that everything you need to know can be found on the page (or in any part of the page like images) or in the sourcecode of the page.
If you try to cheat to reach the next level you can do this. I’m not kidding, try to cheat if you like! But be sure I will do my best to make it as hard as possible for cheaters. Therefor the riddles, the answers and the codes you collect will change from time to time.



I'm on stage 7 level 51 and it's driving me nuts right now.

[brainisdead]

so even the answers wont stay the same? i'll stay quit, but thanks for the offer.
it really was looking like a decent riddle too.

IMHO it'll probably encourage ppl to cheat even more by giving away the usernames and passwords. good luck the rest of you. you'll need it.

[Bronwyn]

I have managed to get to level 26 but I'll leave it for later. I'm too tired to think, so I'll go to sleep - it's 3:30 am here.

[ozchick]

can sum1 give me a hint for level 8 plz, tried a few things but gettin nowhere, thanks

[elle]

Can someone please give me a hint what needs to be done on level 8?

[Bronwyn]

For 8: If you compare picture name in this level to picture names in previous levels, there is a difference. Fix that.

[Seraphim]

how long does it take to get a respond for stage 2? source says it only takes a few minutes but i've been waiting for like forever!! i'm pretty sure i got the right codes since i copied and pasted everything just to be sure.

i hate waiting.

and hate is a four letter word. lol.

[elle]

I got one as soon as I sent out my email. Didn't have to wait for a second. Have you checked your junk mail maybe?

[Seraphim]

i did. inbox nada. spam nada. :( it's been about 30 mins now and still nada. :(

[elle]

Make sure no empty spaces have crepted accidently between the codes. Try sending out a second email...

[Seraphim]

Make sure no empty spaces have crepted accidently between the codes. Try sending out a second email...

i sent you a pm elle :)

[ozchick]

For 8: If you compare picture name in this level to picture names in previous levels, there is a difference. Fix that.

[rdxtion]

The messages are sent automatically - I got all of them in about 30 seconds. I am stuck on level 58. :( Catch up so y'all can help me out. :P

im not sure exactly what i should be doing, did what i thought was right but its not working, any1 got any more clues for a dummy please?????

Okay, so you see what is wrong? Look in the same place and see what is correct in level 7 (and the name of level 7) and then go level 8 and make it right.

[ozchick]

The messages are sent automatically - I got all of them in about 30 seconds. I am stuck on level 58. :( Catch up so y'all can help me out. :P
lol, love to catch up, but my brain isnt working properly, stuck on 8

Okay, so you see what is wrong? Look in the same place and see what is correct in level 7 (and the name of level 7) and then go level 8 and make it right.
well, i thought I knew what was wrong, obviously not, cause it doesnt work, lol

[rdxtion]

lol, love to catch up, but my brain isnt working properly, stuck on 8

Did my hint above help? Let me know if you want me to send you a more explicit pm.

[ozchick]

Did my hint above help? Let me know if you want me to send you a more explicit pm.
yes plz, if you dont mind

yes plz, if you dont mind
thanks heaps, just missed the first word, doh

[rdxtion]

thanks heaps, just missed the first word, doh

:) Good luck!!

[ozchick]

:) Good luck!!
yeah got to stage 2 and ive seen the hints for level 9, but not being really computer literate, i have no idea what to do now!!!!!!

[rdxtion]

yeah got to stage 2 and ive seen the hints for level 9, but not being really computer literate, i have no idea what to do now!!!!!!

Neither am I... :) Thankfully I found some German forum to get some answers. Not that I could really read it. lol

For this one, you need to:

Realize that 0x002345 is a hex code, so you need to download Winhex and look at the picture's hex code. The hex editor will come in handy in later levels.

[Bronwyn]

I solved 9 with a different method... Maybe it was wrong way to do it but I got the right answer anyway. I couldn't look at picture's hex code so I tried various other things and finally looking at picture's exif info helped me.

[Heavy]

can someone help on lvl 11?
The swamp where we are asked to find right path.
I had 2 eggs, but I cannot understand hints on them:(

[rdxtion]

can someone help on lvl 11?
The swamp where we are asked to find right path.
I had 2 eggs, but I cannot understand hints on them:(

So for this you need the correct path, eh?

Think about what is the normal "path" you use to get to each level. How do you get from one level to the next? In this case the something needs to be added to your "path," but nothing needs to be deleted.

[Bronwyn]

I am completely stuck at 43. I have saved the picture in the right format. I found ***-e****r that doesn't need to be installed so I downloaded that. But when I open that picture with it I really can't see anything useful...

[elle]

Hi Bronwyn :) 43 :o ? I'm still struggling on level 10 :'(

[Bronwyn]

You need hint for 10?

[elle]

I'm working on five riddles at the same time. I think I've overconfused myself... Yes, a hint would be great :D

[Bronwyn]

I think you have found the page with letters and numbers?
Think 1's as on and 0's as off. Everytime D is on, B is off. And vice versa. So D is not B. In the answer there is a character that isn't letter or number google programming+not symbol

[elle]

All this for level 10 :jawdropper: !!! I can imagine what 43 must look like :gost:

[Bronwyn]

10 is simple compared to 43...

[elle]

:gost:

[Bronwyn]

I've read the hints for 43 and according to them, it shouldn't be too hard. But for me it is! I'm going crazy with it... When you reach 43 I'll probably still be stucked with it and then you can help me :D

[elle]

Well I see myself at level 43 in a month's time :P Hope you can wait for so long :D

[Bronwyn]

Nah, I know that you're good at riddles so I'm sure you'll be at 43 soon =)

[Heavy]

many thanks rdxtion :)
I got it, but I have to try several paths before to get the right one!
:hug2:
_______________edit________________

I need some help on level 16, can you pls?
I got clues in the code and I noticed that first row is p********e, but I still have not the right url...

[Lebnny]

I am completely stuck at 43. I have saved the picture in the right format. I found ***-e****r that doesn't need to be installed so I downloaded that. But when I open that picture with it I really can't see anything useful... 43 save as a gif, then save again as a 24 b*****. Use h**e*****. Look along the side :)

[Bronwyn]

But that's what I tried for 43. Either I'm blind or I'm doing something wrong.

Heavy, I'd love to help you at 16 but I'm at work and I don't have my notes here.

[Heavy]

@Bronwyn:
thanks a lot, I'm at work too, so I can understand well the situation.
I'll keep trying by myself, hoping to have soon a good idea
:)

[Bronwyn]

If you pm me the url I can try to help.

[Heavy]

PM sent. Thx
:hug2:

edit: I got it, thanks Bronwyn!

[Bronwyn]

43 done, thanx to lebnny =)

[Heavy]

I'm stuck at 18 now.
I got egg and I understood who is the man, but unluckily it does not help me...

[Clee]

On 18 I had to use IE to receive the right info, if you're using FF and trying to look at the picture try IE ;)

[Heavy]

Yes Clee, I am a FF user.
I notice that in IE there is the red X and I can rightclick and try the -show image- option.
But still nothing happens...
And how I can use things I discover on P***K***?
:hug2:
Edit
nvm, I understood what I shoud do un IE
thx a lot !!

[Clee]

Good job Heavy so far thats the only one I ran into you needs IE , I'll let you know :)


On 34 I have the pic in photoshop and thought I could make something to read not working for me :( is that the way??

[Bronwyn]

Clee, you can use printer, too.

I'm stuck at 45. I have got 4 numbers and I have tried to add them together and then use a**** but I must be doing something wrong as I can't get anything useful.

Edit: Now at 51. I've done some converting but now I don't have any idea what to do...

Edit: Got it! :)

[Heavy]

hi all, I'm stuck on 25.
I learned what spoonerism is and I'm trying to do it with quoted text or url
but I cannot write something good to pass this level.
Please help.
:)

[shaharc]

I just got it myself
you have to apply it on the text in quotes, make three other sensible words

[Heavy]

I just got it myself
you have to apply it on the text in quotes, make three other sensible words
I'm trying using letters in those 3 words in quote.
Am I wrong? I have just to find ather 3 words that sound similar and no matter on what letter I use?

[Maze_Lady]

i know what is wrong, but i dont know how to change it.
do i need a program to do that?
i cant change the name of the p******, without messing with the source.
or am i just stupid.
any1 help me please...
:pcsmasher

EDIT: pop... just found it!

[Clee]

I'm lost on 38 I think 37 was to easy and has something to do with it need a shove or kick in the head on this ...It's dark in here :lol:

[Bronwyn]

Clee, have you found the second picture?

[Clee]

Yes I have that second....... 4 letter words ...will try from there Thanks Bronwyn :panda2:
I have an egg I have a four letter word in mind for this level :lol:

I think I know what to do now thanks I'm counting on the right answer ;)

[Bronwyn]

Just ask if you need more help :)

[Clee]

Bronwyn on 39 I'm not seeing anything to use I've got the main pic but nothing so far??

[Bronwyn]

Save the pic... ;)

[rdxtion]

Bronwyn, are you at 59 yet?? I'm having major issues with it. :( Need hints, will beg.

[Bronwyn]

I'm having major issues at 58! Help me with it and I'll help you at 59 :D

[Clee]

Oh shoot 41 now! I found the other image is it leading me to words or a number I'm in prison now :(

Edit: I'm almost out of the dark on 42 :)

[Bronwyn]

How did you solve 41, Clee?

[Clee]

:lol: I had a friend give me a file and sawed my way through...Oh let me look real deep here, It's the Monday cobwebs attacking me!!

That was hiding very well indeed, but the big guns found it LOL

[Bronwyn]

Alright then. The way I got the answer to 41 can't certainly be the right one. Or actually someone told me how he got the answer and as I couldn't understand that level at all, I just followed what he told.

[rdxtion]

I'm having major issues at 58! Help me with it and I'll help you at 59 :D

Here is the way I figured it out.

Have you got to the drawing yet? You need to add up the numbers from one connection to the others. <<DELETED BY MODERATION DUE TO THE PRECISE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SOLVE THE LEVEL>>

That is the way that I managed to work it out. If you want the correct answer, I can pm you.

[Bronwyn]

Thanx for the hint, I'll try to figure this one out by myself now (if I don't go crazy before that...) :) If it turns out to be too difficult I'll ask for an extra hint.

[rdxtion]

Thanx for the hint, I'll try to figure this one out by myself now (if I don't go crazy before that...) :) If it turns out to be too difficult I'll ask for an extra hint.

:) Good luck with it (and especially good luck with lvl 59 when you get to it).

[Clee]

44 has me spinning in a circle I want to convert but missing 2 things in it? I'm lost again :(

[Bronwyn]

Clee, pm me what you have got so far.

Edit: 58 done, thanx for the nudge rdxtion :)

[rdxtion]

Clee, pm me what you have got so far.

Edit: 58 done, thanx for the nudge rdxtion :)

Yeah! I'm still getting nowhere on 59, so hopefully you can solve it quickly and nudge me. :)

[Bronwyn]

For 59 I have found one egg so far...

[rdxtion]

For 59 I have found one egg so far...

There are supposedly two to find. Any hints on how to find the first one?

[Bronwyn]

I just tried words in text...

[rdxtion]

Was it a combination of two words or just one of them? I thought I tried all of them, but I must have missed one... grrrr

[Bronwyn]

One word.

[rdxtion]

One word.

Okay, found it. Thanks for that. Also found the other one. :) Now I'm stuck with these clues. Hopefully my brain will come alive now.

[Bronwyn]

I found the other egg, too. Have you found out what a t******* could be? If you have you need to apply that to those strange lines.
I have got a m***, I'll try to solve it before I go to sleep. It's over 2 am here.

Edit: Got it! I'll be here a while in case you need help :)

[rdxtion]

Edit: Got it! I'll be here a while in case you need help :)

Hmm, still haven't found out what t******* is good for. Any hints?

[Bronwyn]

Wiki it and look for something you can apply to those strange lines. Pm me if you need more help.

[Heavy]

hi all, i'm still stuck at 25.
i need a big help on doing the right spooner of the quoted sentence can you help please?
:hug2:

[rdxtion]

hi all, i'm still stuck at 25.
i need a big help on doing the right spooner of the quoted sentence can you help please?
:hug2:

Here is a big hint:

You don't have to change the first word.

[Heavy]

rdxtion thank you so mach, also Clee helped me and finally I got that url for level 26!
thank you!!!

[Clee]

I'm stuck in 67..... it's all dark and cold can't find my way :lol:

[elle]

I can't get passed the elevator or the stairs :( I thought I had worked out the un/pw but obviously I was wrong :(:(

[Clee]

Sent a PM Elle ;)

On 68 now and good and stuck AGAIN :bee:

[Bronwyn]

63 - I am at jammed door, found 1 egg. Source of egg page says "to be the c****** to my d***", I have no idea what that means.

Edit: Found some more eggs... I have now first four letters.

Edit: Got it :)

[Clee]

On 73 and still playing with it, I think it could be awhile pushing buttons if anyone wants to clue me I'd love it :lol:

EDIT: Got it, I forgot to try on and off ;)

[Heavy]

[Bronwyn]

I'll pm you Heavy.

[Heavy]

[Bronwyn]

I can't figure out what to do at 64...

Edit: At 66.

[Heavy]

I have a big problem with the mail, I can't have the un&pw for stage7.
I was sure I collected all the codes but when I sent the email it is always rejected.
on level 47 the code filename is not the same of the url, like usually is, but is the same of level 7 url. I tried to get the level 7 code, but the mail was also rejected.Could you help me with this matter, please?

[Bronwyn]

Heavy, pm me the codes you have got, I'll check if you have them right.
(You don't need to mind about code filename being different than level's url)

[Heavy]

thank you Bronwyn, I got un&pw :hug2:

[Smidget]

Is anybody still playing this one?

What's a good first move to make on 53? I can't find anything there.
Help, please...

<EDIT> OK I made my first move...now what?

[Heavy]

Is anybody still playing this one?

What's a good first move to make on 53? I can't find anything there.
Help, please...

<EDIT> OK I made my first move...now what?
hi Smidget, do you still need help with it?
i guess after your first move you find the
*brzzl*
if so you have totake a very closer look to the picture
do you notice that some stars a bigger than others? but there is another property you have to look. Some stars has much more light if you discover them you'll understand what are you looking for!
hope this help my dear, you helped me so much time i'd be so happy to turn some help back!
:hug2:

[Smidget]

Thank you, Heavy :) I got 53 earlier...ended up with teary eyes :haha:
Now I'm stuck on 58. Reading up old posts and stuff and I understand
the big numbers are light bulbs and number 1 is the power source. those little numbers on the pic are the distance
Am I right so far?
then I have to figure out the "shortest" way to connect the bulbs to the power source
the second part is headache! I've tried couple combinations already but none worked so far.
Phooeyy...

[Heavy]

Smdget i'll pm you something, but i'm at work, so i have only my memory...
:)

[Smidget]

Thank you, Heavy, for saving me from a total brain-atrophy.
Finally got 58, and now staring at 59...
what is "f*** t** t******l" supposed to mean? a clue to the tool to decode this nightmare?

[Heavy]

yes Smidget, it is!
means a lot of thing, or better, there is so many things that have that name.but only one of them help you to "read" strange characters you have
time to go for me, hope this help :hug2:

[Smidget]

Uh...guess I've found some kind of "t******l" that has anything to do with w***s...so now,
should I check the c*** of those funny characters and do some translation?

[brainisdead]

smidget, u must be a sucker for punishment playing this game so far.

[Smidget]

Got a problem with that?

[Heavy]

Uh...guess I've found some kind of "t******l" that has anything to do with w***s...so now,
should I check the c*** of those funny characters and do some translation?
i cannot understand what you mean with w***s...
you have to translate, as you say, those strange chars, but first you have to give proper meaning to "translation", in this case.
is the egg you already found. Focus on PC. Then read litteraly the egg. what it is about? Discover it and than use it to translate.
:)

Good morning, Heavy :coffee2:

Yes, I now know what I have to do. Problem is I don't know where to go to do that
I have
viewed the source with that cryptic message in Notepad in that particular f**t suggested in eggs.
But apparently that's not enough.

Need I do more? and if so, what? :?:

[Heavy]

oh dear, i dont know how it is possible... i used notepad like you, and with the proper f*** i was able to saw the solution. are you sure you selected the all characters before apply the F***?it is the only thing i can guess right now...

[Smidget]

oh dear, i dont know how it is possible... i used notepad like you, and with the proper f*** i was able to saw the solution. are you sure you selected the all characters before apply the F***?it is the only thing i can guess right now...

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right...
Did you see something sensible immediately? with just one step?

[Heavy]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right...
Did you see something sensible immediately? with just one step?
yes, if you use the right f***, you see the solution without dubt. pm me the f*** you are using, i think you are working with right one, but just to be sure...

[Smidget]

Thanks, Heavy :hug2: Everything is cleared now :)
Now going deeper into the dungeon... :elephantbye:

[Heavy]

is there someone else playing with that riddle?
please help me on 68, i have no idea on how to think on it!
:(

@Smidget: come on dear, hurry up to get 68 ;)

[Smidget]

OMG, just yesterday, you were on 64! And now you are on 68?!
Pheewwyy...you are flying, Heavy :bee: I'm on traveling on elephant, as you see...:elephantbye:

[Heavy]

oh no, Smidget! i was on 68 last time i wrote it to you. if i wrote something different it was a typo :shy:
but finally i got it and now i'm starting 69 :)

[Smidget]

Congrats on beating 68!

I'm leaving 65 for tomorrow...have done many crazy things on it for nothing :(
Hope three consecutive cups of strong coffee tomorrow morning will do a magic :haha:

<EDIT> People were telling the truth! 71 IS evil!

[Secret Pirate]

Please could someone pm me a major shove in the right direction for 28 ?
I see from other forums that it is to do with p**** f**********. but thats where i come unstuck :(
Anybody? Somebody?.......save my sanity !!!!!

[Heavy]

Pirate I'll PM you

[Secret Pirate]

Pirate I'll PM you

Got it !! Thanks Heavy :)

onto 30...not much to go on lol

[Heavy]

Hi Secret Pirate, it took me very long timetoremember how to pass that one, so sorry!
So you need to google, google and google.
First of all you have to know what are you looking for: track. This means soundtrack, audio.
Then you need to use the correct key word to perform a useful google-search.
you have to use something of the text, something about what are you looking for and also something of the pic.
Use last text part, track and pic title, as keywords to get started in proper direction

[TbTn]
