See how far you can get. I keep spending the odd half hour on this here and there, trying to get it complete, but its a real challenge!

Hmm I might have played this or one like it before. Me and a mate worked on it together. Probably got the link to our go somewhere in a txt file. :D
There's no monkey on the farm. :(
But there is a tractor! :D
I'm not sure if I get it. Do you just have to put the words in? I'm all out of words :(
When you get a word that overlaps the edge of the outside box, you can use the map to move to another square which has a different central topic. The topics are linked by common words.
I opened up the next box but I haven't got all the farm ones yet, and rapidly running out of farmy words :/
Me too. Loads I haven't got on the first page. :(
Edit: It's flawed! How can there be all those animals and no manure?!
I did wonder that :p
No legs either!! I'm typing random stuff now :/
I've managed to get all the way over to the left-hand box of the nine. Nice segway!
Me too. Loads I haven't got on the first page. :(
Edit: It's flawed! How can there be all those animals and no manure?!
There is, and it links upwards. Think of a particular type of manure.
Think of a particular type of manure.
I only know one type. :(
It's Americanised too - plough doesn't work but plow does.
No baby sheep on a farm? :(
I might try again at lunch when I have time to fart about :D

But there is a tractor! :D
Is it magic?! :D
No. :(
This is hard. One of the links from cow is 'mad cow'. Bloody hell.
There is no 'farmer' on the farm?!?
OMG this is going to do my head in... I'm off to the gym!
BB x
Yes there is! Directly below the 'on the farm' box!
Bloody hell!
I think I'm suggesting too quick!!! :p

I opened the "religion" box but still have all of that (and half of "farm") still to do :(
I can't for the life of me think of a two-letter word related to a bull that isn't 'ox'. So infuriating!

I've got 7 open :p
after mad cow and bs I started trying anything which is why I got the chicken one - moved on to the religion box now :/
I've opened the one to the right of Magicians but don't quite understand the topic... yet!

Same here, really confusing :/
No wellies? It's definitely not a proper farm!
Ah, but I have managed to open the one below it.
Quick question. What six-letter word would link Homer Simpson to a barn?
if thats the one linked to purple then think of dinosaurs
OK, now I'm really confused!
if there actually a point to this? I mean if we uncover it all does something happen?
There's a puzzle to work out at the end of it
Now got nine sections open!
after all this, you then have to solve another puzzle? :shocked: I somehow have 15 sections open there just isn't many solved on each :confused:
if thats the one linked to purple then think of dinosaurs
Just got this!

Must do some work this afternoon :/
Oh FFS!
Told you to think of different types of manure ;)

That's how I got homer, by typing home run, but I assumed the link was a Simpsons one, and it is. :)

Picky and I played with this the other eve.
I have wasted about 20minutes on this today. Am so stuck. Well annoyed with BS and magician. And I only got BS out of sheer fluke.
GrRRRR! _ & _ ??! ALl I keep thinking and singing is "Booooodger and baadger booOOoodgger and baadgerr!" Really isn't helping!
Am going to leave this til I have spare time - too much to do atm.
I am SOOO tempted to look at others saved games. *must resist*.

After muchos Googling, the poker one is probably the most complete page I have - only two blank spaces, one of which branches off Robin Hood, so probably isn't even poker related.
Edit: Aha! Didn't have forest, which makes the link to Robin Hoof raaaather obvious!
Haha! Hoof!

It's hard to give clues to the ones you don't have as they're just player names. If it'll help with Googling, Jesus is the nickname of one of the players, Tiger Woods is the nickname of another, and Robin Hood the nickname of another one :)
I've not brought my save game into work so I've stolen Sams for now :p
I reckon by the time I get home and merge this in with mine we'll pretty much have most of it.

Got it, but it didn't give the help I needed :D Now need to get the one in the top right of the Japan bit that links from Paper.
Edit: Now got it, but it's a dead end! Was hoping to get myself into the bottom right corner, it's the only corner square I don't have.
Bottom right corner can only be accessed from the box above it
I found that really annoying. It's the only box that does that - IIRC every other box can be accessed by at least two others.

07-03-2008, 13:30
Bottom right corner can only be accessed from the box above it
Yup, and I've only got a couple in there so far, with "cut" being the only clue left for me to use :/ Meh, I'll try to open up a few more in that box from the one on the left.
At least I actually have one of the clues now.
with cut try and think of the different things which a cut might be made for (got I'm carp and giving clues :/ )

07-03-2008, 16:38
Anyone solved the meta clue yet?
I'm nearly there I think.
The final hint states you should connect the two left clues to get something red.
These are 'X-files' and 'Religious Cult'. The episode 'Red Museum' was about a cult.
xwww.tv.com/the-x-files/red-museum/episode/524/summary.html
Googling 70's museum you see a link to a guy obsessed with tracksuits. Which seems spurious until you assume it's all guff and see the xwww.trackies.co.uk/aboutme.htmcontacts page. He's deperately after a trackie called the 'Colorado'. Is this the right state?
So the final answer is reached from 'Colorado' and 'Hospital'
Sorry links were showing inside the spoiler text.
please can someone help us with the blooming magicians page... what's BS got to do with any of it?
Other pages completely stuck on is the textbook one and friar tuck?! MEh?! *confuddled*
Think very literally about friar tuck... what is he?
got this far and I'm giving up for today :(

Yep stare at the screen! :D
What you need to do is to link the topics together with words that link them. So farm one would be about animals on a farm, tractor, plough etc.
DONT DO IT ROBERT! BAAACK AWWWWAAAAAAAAY FROM THE SCREEN! YOu WILL waste hours in your life which you can NEVER get back! Ever!

Davey_Pitch
04-04-2008, 09:46
You're on the right lines, but you're using the wrong state. Try using the state the top right clue was set in, and see if any of the characters of the show could be related to a hospital. That's how I got it, but it still took me ages and a lot of luck to get the right answer
