I remember my family puzzling over Treasure: In Search of the Golden Horse back in the day. I recently read an article about the Masquerade solution and yeah... even had the internet existed I doubt I'd ever have been able to solve those weirdo "puzzles"

I hope somehow the Alkemstone one gets some traction, so that enough people will randomly guess things until we happen to stumble upon something that works :)

That would be cool. I guess I'll throw my two cents into that chat. Maybe it will spark someone smarter than me to solve something. But wait, if the puzzle designs are BAD... An idiot like me might be just the person to get it done!

Well, somehow my post to that discussion didn't work. So I'm off to a rollicking start! (although I blame dumb computers for this one)

It thought you were spam. It should be up now.

The Einstein Memorial having a star map embedded into it seems very relevant! I don't remember anyone mentioning that in previous comments.

I feel like at this point we need some kind of a shared notebook where clues can be worked on and theories explored. At this point I've lost track of what everyone has said about each clue.

I agree. I'm also finding that when new theories drop I might not notice them. I'm also starting to think that even the "pure text" clues should refer back to the screenshots. As I flip through the images, I can't shake the feeling that the text position/formatting is important.

I made this last time around: https://caseymuratori.com/alkemstone

But there weren't full screenshots available for most of the clues, and all the clues were there yet.

Maybe I should put up a github with this and then we can add stuff to it? That way things can be viewed on the map properly, and we can add textual notes as people have theories?
