Hints
Here are a set of clues gleaned from the fire priests of Mount Ridge and the soothsayers of The Springs of Uch:
Puzzle 1 -The Broken Gate听
Location: Cruxopolis
Look at the letters with stars, could you make them into a word or a name of a place near the real world location?
Once you have them rotated in that way, could you make another word out of the letters on particular spokes, a word that would give you a letter?
Puzzle 2 -听A Golden Opportunity
Location: The Golden City of Aught
Those rings rotate, if they rotated so some of the letters made a word or name maybe you would also get the shape of a letter.
What name? Well maybe you need to have a look through UCL's art collection and keep the mysterious 'inscription' in mind.
Puzzle 3 -听Rahbintagornath
Location: The gorgon forest
Is there a real world marker or monument that sounds a bit like 'Rahbintagornath'? What about the fence around it, why not sketch the squares based on the shape of the fence and try and put the write words in.
Puzzle 4 -听The Caretaker鈥檚 Game
Location: The Petry Pyramids
The caretaker's home has a cross... so in our world could it be a church? Can you find a carving that matches one of the images?
As for the Petrian language, it might be worth looking up the page for the Petri pyramids...
Puzzle 5 -听A Siren鈥檚 Supper
Location: The Tavix Tox Forest
First you must see if you can find some mermaids... possibly ones that are holding shields. Now look closely at the sails on those ships. Get it?
Puzzle 6 -听Outside the Box
Location: Ruins of Grandt
Find a set of windows in the real world that matches this diagram. Now count the panes. If you were to move from window to window based on the number of panes in the sequence would you make a shape?
Puzzle 7 -听A Dragon鈥檚 Dentist
Location: The Buried Bloom
A trip to Bloomsbury Theatre is in order. But for those who can't here is a picture that might help you... something has been put up in one of the windows
Puzzle 8 -听Secret of Uch
Location: The Spring of Uch
There is a sign by University College Hospital that looks rather familiar... you can just make it out on google street view...
Puzzle 9 -听The Dragonstar
Location: The Buried Bloom
Priests of small things... could that be 'Nanotechnology'? Have a look at the signs nearby and see if you can work out what the stars might be representing.
Puzzle 10 -听The Gorgon鈥檚 Hat
Location: The Gorgon Forest
There are some interesting building works going on around Gordon Square...听
Puzzle 11 -听Monkey business
Location: The Ruins of Grahndt
Look for some Roman numerals above an arch...
Puzzle 12 -听Power Cut
Location: Cruxopolis
The Shocked Man... wait what's that? What if I follow the numbers starting on the sun?
Puzzle 13 -听A Page Turner
Location: The Quadstone
In the UCL quad is a inscription... what if you were to follow the inscription from start to finish on the image?
Puzzle 14 -听Riddle of the Fire Priests
Location: The Mount Ridge
Those exclamation marks seem to match windows in the real world, but which ones? And what would be the preceding letter?
Puzzle 15 -听No Sense In Nonsense
Location: The Torrent Tongue
Can you see a warning sign... something that matches the first and last line of the poor woman's ranting?
What about the middle three lines, could they be anagrams? Is there anything missing?
Puzzle 16 -听The Giant鈥檚 Gift
Location: The Bent Elm
This may need some research! What is the Bent Elm in our world? And where did it once keep its head?
Puzzle 17 -听Sword of the U Stone
Location: Tavix Tox Jungle
Everything in a mirror appears backwards, can you find anything in the area that would match the inscription and give you the last/first symbol?
Puzzle 18听-听Toxic Trouble
Location: Petry Pyramids
What might you be looking for in the real world? Something round and blue, something with symbols that match the squares?
