Episode 1 Clue Reveal

Destination = Hollywood, California


Clue #1 and Clue #5:

Spoiler:

Clue #1:
THE ANSWER IS COMING
ABOVE THE SEA
THE TYPE, THE FACE
THE PLACE TO BE
MANY PASS
BUT FEW ARE SEEN
A FINAL GLIMPSE
OF ELOINE

Clue #5:

Explanation:

"THE ANSWER "IS COMING"
ABOVE THE SEA"

http://i.imgur.com/JoicBqU.png?1
(This screenshot was also part of the trailer.)


"THE TYPE, THE FACE"

-This is an allusion to 'typeface'. The letters of "IS COMING" are reminiscent of the Hollywood Sign (and the typeface itself is also called 'Hollywood Hills' - it is also hovering over the hills in the picture).


"THE PLACE TO BE
MANY PASS
BUT FEW ARE SEEN"

-This is a generic allusion to Hollywood. The kind of place that attracts a lot of people who want to be noticed, but only a few are.

...

So this was a really challenging one I think! Well done if you managed to crack it. But I wanted to include something that would be quite difficult and not necessarily solvable at first glance.

I didn't expect that anyone would guess 'Hollywood' based on the first clue alone but as you can see, the first part of clue #1 tied in with clue #5 and my intention with that was to plant a seed, then offer some further clues relating to Hollywood, and then provide clue #5 with the thought that the imagery in it might help you realise that it was connected to the 'is coming above the sea' part of clue #1.


Clue #2:

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/JhFQxu3.png

A birthday card with holy and wood on the front.
(The fact that it was a birthday card wasn't important to this task, but it is a real 'in-game' item and remains relevant for later on, as well as the fact that it is blank inside.)


Clue #3:

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/vKYX1Mz.jpg?1

The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. The production company 'MGM', that the hotel is named after is a staple of the Hollywood movie industry.

Clue #4:

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/r5LeKmK.jpg

Movie star, innit :fan:
He seemed like an appropriate person to pick, given his recent Oscar success and being such a big part of the industry. The fact that it's a promo shot from 'The Beach' was a red herring (Hollywood Beach, Florida). I wanted all of the clues to link in with Hollywood, California, but for some of them to have more than one possible answer (Hollywood, California being the only answer that connected all 5.)

'Fill in the blanks'


Spoiler:

(I've realised by the way that this was waaaaaay to difficult, future ones won't be as impossible as this was I promise :laugh:)


1: One by one
2: ____ ____ _____
3: ___'_ _____ ___'_ _____
4: _____ _________
5: _____'_ ____
6: __ ___ ______
7: ________ ___
8: ___ ______ ___


The notion of 'one by one' being carried forward from the trailer, and the general premise of the game. But also signaled to here...

Oh i get it now

Jamie89 02-03-2016 07:18 PM
Congratulations to ProfessorSmooth and AProducer'sWetDream, you both correctly guessed the destination :clap1:

Nobody guessed the missing words correctly.


Ammi, you have been chosen to receive the special reward. The reward is knowledge, and you will receive it privately.



I'm going to start Episode 2 a bit later due to the changes I need to make, but in the meantime, I need you to split into 2 groups of 6. As soon as you have confirmed your groups (and I've made my changes) I'll post Episode 2.

Thanks everyone! Sorry if this has started off a bit messy-ish :worry:

The reason i thought it was Israel is because the second clue with the birthday card has an xmas theme so i thought who's bday is at xmas....jesus....then the wood background made me think of the fact he was a carpenter, and he's from Israel.

Then came the MGM one, there's a poster in the background with David Copperfield on it, well he has Israeli descendents, Leonardo DiCaprio went out with an Israeli model, and the storm is coming i thought of Noah's Ark!

And the clue i thought was the clock hands position at ten to one.

Ammi 02-03-2016 07:19 PM
..I completely didn't see 1x1, I said ten to one, the time on the clock...

Ammi 02-03-2016 07:20 PM
...well done Producer and Professor..:love:..

I was honestly so impressed by your reasoning. At first I thought, Israel? Eh? :laugh: But then reading it, it made perfect sense!

Oh wow, that's really clever tbh!

The extent of my reasoning was "Christmas holly / islands / Leonardo DiCaprio from The Beach = Christmas Island" :joker:
