Hints |
Hints are available for each mini-puzzle separately. Time offsets are from the very beginning of the whole puzzle, and assume if you get stuck on one mini players will just move on to another.
General Hint 1: Unlocks at 15 minutes. Select to view hint text ---- Each of the five solves should be reminiscent of something else on the place mat. Squinty is the final solve. If you hadn't noticed yet, the word lengths for the mini solves can be found upside down on the bottom of the page. ---- General Hint 2: Unlocks at 20 minutes. Select to view hint text ---- If you color in the place mat correctly, and maybe squint a little, you can read the final message. ---- General Hint 3: Unlocks at 31 minutes. Select to view hint text ---- For instance, the solve for the Word Search is ARROW. There are two islands marked with a sign post with arrows on it. Find the shape(s) of those islands within the coloring page and color them in. Only color in shapes that are represented by the 5 solves on the flip side. ---- Wordsearch Hint 1: Unlocks at 15 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- When you find all the words, the puzzle will look like a maze with a message along the path. ---- Wordsearch Hint 2: Unlocks at 30 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- The message asks you to think about the choices you made, so focus on the points that you chose one path when navigating the maze. ---- Wordsearch Hint 3: Unlocks at 35 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Specifically, look at the letters that happen at intersections. There are 5 of them on your path. ---- Spot the Differences Hint 1: Unlocks at 20 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Spot the differences: Each difference is also one letter off from the other. Like BRAD and BEAD. You can confirm your guesses. ---- Spot the Differences Hint 2: Unlocks at 40 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Focus on the one letter that is different. Write that letter on the image. Read down through each image; left image and then right image. ---- Jumble Hint 1: Unlocks at 20 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Unjumble the words based on the clues. Use the highlighted letters to complete the message at the bottom. After you have the message, look back at the grid for buried treasure.. ---- Jumble Hint 2: Unlocks at 35 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Notice each word (and jumbled word) has an X in it. Use the X from the jumble as well as the unjumbled word. Where would a pirate keep his treasure?. ---- Jumble Hint 3: Unlocks at 40 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Under the "X", so take the letter that appears directly under each X in the grid. Read down. When you have that answer, think about a fitting 6 letter solve that has an X.. ---- Kids' Menu Hint 1: Unlocks at 20 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Each Menu item solves to a single-word food. The dollar value is the order. The cents is an index into the word. The dots in between the item and price, is an enumeration of a phrase. ---- Kids' Menu Hint 2: Unlocks at 40 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Each menu item is a clue for phrase that has a food item in it. CHICKEN out. Drink like a FISH. Index into the food item by the cent value and order by dollar. Also each food item fits into the category of Meat, Topping , and Drink for extra help. ---- Connect the Dots Hint 1: Unlocks at 20 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Start by solving each number as A=1. Lastly, connect the dots. ---- Connect the Dots Hint 2: Unlocks at 25 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- The message hints at a song called "Cosmic." ---- Connect the Dots Hint 3: Unlocks at 30 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Notice that the letters from COSMIC only appear in the Connect the Dots message once. ---- Connect the Dots Hint 4: Unlocks at 40 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Using COSMIC, start with the first letter and draw a line to the second letter. Continue and end with the last letter (which is the first letter again). ---- Squinty the Pirate Hint 1: Unlocks at 10 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- You have probably guessed that there are five bits of information to get on the front of the placemat and you should color the back last. ---- Squinty the Pirate Hint 2: Unlocks at 25 minutes. Select to view hint text: ---- Only color the matching "islands" that are referenced in the solves on the other side. There are 2 for each solve, so you will use 10 islands, naturally. ---- |
