You have two hours. Game is in my inventory (I won't tell you which one, but that'll give you an idea anyway) and I'll send it to your email shortly after the giveaway is over if I can. Good luck!

Got #7 , didn't even tried the rest. Wtf is this supposed to be?

I...don't know how you got 7 without knowing what the quiz is about, that's quite the lucky guess. And the whole point is that this quiz is going to stump you a little if you don't know what the quiz is about, but becomes much easier once you figure out the common theme. I did something similar in my last puzzle.

There's also a hint hidden where you'd least expect it, and one of the actual hints will more or less give it away, so you've at least got a fighting chance.

Well, it's quite common thing in movies, games and maybe in reality.

God, I hope that's not common in reality.

Actually, come to think of it, depending on which you answered it's not so disgusting. I included a general one in case people tried it, but it's the specific source that's nasty.

By the way, the specific reason it was "eww" was because the intended answer was human skin. I also accepted skin, tattoo, and tattoo on the back though. But yeah, you rub some oil on the poor sunbather's back, let him roast in the sun, then peel off his skin.

I'll give it a try but I think I'm going to have to wait for the hints to unlock.

Hints unlocked and confirmed that I at least had the right idea. Answers should be easier now, I hope.

So there's an hour and a half left in the GA now. If people are still having trouble in another half hour, I'll start dropping hints here and answering questions. As of right now we have 42 players and not a single solver, and the early birds should have gotten their hints by now.

You should add more accepted answers for each question. I typed the correct answer for Q2 and it doesn't accept it.

It's not what you think it is, probably. Wait for the hint and you'll see why.

Alright, it's about time to start giving out help, so this will probably do it for you: you need to use a specific name, 's, then the item.

That did the trick. Strange pick of words.

I used a guide to grab specific terminology and hoped that was more accurate than my memory, sorry if it was off. Glad you liked the puzzle though!

I got them all except for Q11. Any more hints on that one?

Only saw this after the edit, but may as well throw in the hint for others. They certainly don't eat meat anymore.

Well, only three people have solved it so far, and all of them have the game, so I'll just come out and say all the questions are related to the Curse of Monkey Island. Google can probably take you from there. Hope that helps!

May I have a hint on Q10?

Comment has been collapsed.

It's part of a mechanic that's been around since the original game. When someone says that, the line you're supposed to respond with is the answer.

can't put it right :| special character needed?

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I made it take the answer both with and without the special character. You will need a comma and a period in it though.

It now accepts an exclamation point as well.

Q10 is not the answer?? or is it just a wording thing?..

EDIT: nevermind,I found out I was right,it's the answer,it just doesn't accept it as right -.-

EDIT no 2: found it.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

For 10 I pulled the wording for that one from a guide. It uses a period at the end, but I just checked the game itself and it uses an exclamation point, so I added that as a valid answer as well.

I guess I'm having a similar problem with Q12 now..

Yeah, it'd be nice if they put out a new version, especially since they could open it up to console players like they did with the first two games. Fortunately though it's much more modern than the previous two games and even has voice acting already in it. I think the art's even fine as-is (to be honest I didn't like the redone art in the first two all that much), though it could stand to be redrawn in HD with some anti-aliasing thrown in.

Wow, is q4 even a real thing? I can't remember anything like it, google comes up short as well. Got the rest though.

What was the answer to number 6? Spent like an hour on it after getting all the other answers pretty quickly.

I had a small list, actually:

  • With a frying pan
  • With a frying pan.
  • Frying pan
  • A frying pan
  • A frying pan.

You can see it in action here. I was a bit sneaky in translating the name, but if you'd asked for a hint I'd've been glad to mention it's El Pollo Diablo, which would have made googling it way easier.

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah, ok. I did know it was Pollo Diablo and eventually guessed it was something that he got knocked out with but couldn't find what that specific thing was thru Google - all the places I looked just said he got knocked out unconscious but not how. And I didn't look at any videos which in hindsight, seeing your link, was a mistake.

Thanks though, was a fun scavenger hunt.
