Puzzle Tips
Start with Tip 1 and keep going until you get the guidance you’re looking for.
-
To solve this puzzle, you should be looking at the two pages in the booklet with a dark background, showing a note on the right-hand side.
-
There’s a dotted rectangle on the left-hand page. What might that rectangle suggest?
-
Is there an object inside the box that could be useful here?
-
The flavor text says says you “light a match to see more closely…”
-
Find the matchbook and place it on top of the rectangle.
-
The note from Aphrodite says “As you read, remember: each paragraph hides a clue. Seek what ignites the night.” What might this mean?
-
How might you use the matchbook along with the note from Aphrodite?
-
The matchbook has a scale that describes 5 types of heat. Look for one of these words in each of the 4 paragraphs of Aphrodite’s note.
-
For example, the first paragraph uses the word “flicker.”
-
The second paragraph is a smidge harder. Do you see any of the words hidden inside of it?
-
The word “trailblazers” contains the word “blaze.” Onto paragraph 3…
-
Paragraph 3 is a bit harder. Look for one of the words from the matchbook contained within a word in the paragraph.
-
The word “remember” contains the word “ember.” Onto paragraph 4, which is hardest…
-
Look for one of the words from the matchbook hidden in this paragraph. It may be hidden across more than one word…
-
The word you’re looking for is in the last sentence of the paragraph.
-
The word “spark” is contained within the words gorgeous park (the ‘s’ from ‘gorgeous’ followed by ‘park’).
-
You’ve identified the 4 words: flicker, blaze, ember, spark. What might you do with them?
-
Take the number on the matchbook that corresponds to each word.
-
You should have gotten the following numbers:
2 (flicker)
5 (blaze)
1 (ember)
3 (spark)
Enter 2-5-1-3 into the combination lock.
