Alright, I'm already stuck.

Proper order of operations is multiply, divide, add, subtract, yeah? And am I supposed to be getting an actual word?

Great riddle, so far.

[archaicdome]

Oh, I thought you'd written it. PM me and we'll see if we can't work it out together.

[CXV]

i have to go, will try it later

EDIT
Got the hallway!!!

put the numbers in the calculator like they are shown, no brackets, no proper order of operations. Then convert here:

(don't forget to put spaces, for exemple: 8 5 12 12 15)

That was fun. I am just not sure if you are supposed to just email the final answer at the end of the game or if there is more to it that I am missing. There doesn't seem to be a way to test the final answer for accuracy before you email it. Is there anybody else at the final page?

NVM Just emailing is all you need to do.

[ozchick]

cant get the numbers one, any help plz????

[daybreak]

cant get the numbers one, any help plz????

Me too (if you mean the hallway?) re-calculated numerous times...still, nothing works. :S

pm'd u on what i found on another forum

If someone could pm the answer to the Hallway (math).....i would be forever in ur debt :hb:

[jack]

If you are on the one with the three long equations remember to use "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally" if you are doing the math by hand. An easier method is to just type the whole thing into Google and let it do the math for you.

[monkey21]

Um. I may just be dense but I can't get past the first level. I chose the backyard first makes no sense. Don't get the pattern for the letters for the frontyard. Any help? Seems like a pretty cool riddle. Just wish I could start.

[cin]

stuck on piano room and basement if anyone has any hints thanks

[Crila]

Hint for basement solution:

<Hint>
<What B stands for is obvious, because the answer is right in front of you. For what M is...you may want to take a look at a blackberry menu.>

Not sure if I did the hint thing right or not.

[Dreamybella41]

ok totally lost...chose the frontyard...figured out the missing letters (i think) and put them in and clicked submit and nothing happened. How do I know if im putting in the right answer if nothing happens? Please help

[daybreak]

scroll down a bit after u put in answer. There will be a check mark if u got it right. :)

[lissy]

God. I am hating the hallway. I used google to work out the equations then I converted to numbers but I'm still getting the wrong answer.

[Dreamybella41]

ok so i got past the frontyard now im stuck in the hallway..did what the previous threads said (google and calculator in order of presentation not operation and went to "purplehell.com" and converted it) but still not getting it right...help again please

[StarShinobi]

I had porblems with the hallway too, but if it helps it is a three letter word. I thought it was four at first.

[TweetyBird]

did you put spaces in the right places when converting?

[StarShinobi]

that was the problem I had, but I eventually got it. Got the backyard if anyone is interested. Having trouble on the mirror if anyone has any hints

[lissy]

For the hallway, does it make an actual word. I have added these numbers up 5 times now but haven't got an answer. Grr!

[Dreamybella41]

ok doing it on the calculator ur supposed to do it in the order it appears correct? all my answers (starting from the outside in) are the first is 5 digits with a "0" the other 2 are 4 digit...
then when i use google my first answer is 3 digits and the other 2 (starting again from the outside in) are 4 digits...
when i convert it i put a space in between each number right?
if yes, thats what i did and its not making sense...am i doing something wrong?

[lissy]

I'm giving up on this 'riddle'. Doing this much maths is not my idea of fun.

[StarShinobi]

Yes, it does make a real word.

[TweetyBird]

for the mirror in the bathroom - the amount of numbers in each line match the line of letters above, you can decode the last line with those numbers
hallway - dreamy, you're close! you need a 4 digit number converted into a 3 letter word

[Crila]

The answer to the hallway doesn't actually come from the larger number...it comes from the second largest number, which is the 8518. use that # in the converter...and you're all right. It's a 3 letter word.

[ShOpTilIdroP62]

does any one have anyhints for
the frontyard:
i dont know the two last letter sequence help me please

the backyard:
i had two possible answers but nonoe worked

[HJMUM]

[StarShinobi]

[noiseandkisses]

Okay so I've been trying to figure out the hallway but the Alphanumeric Converter isn't working on my computer... I'm so lost. Can anyone help me??? Thanks.

[HJMUM]

Thank you HJMUM, I feel really dumb ^_^

Also in the backyard, you get an 8 number sequence but you only need five to make the word for the answer

[crueldade]

[Gamer_Kitty]

Can you give me a hint about the guestroom please? Its driving me crazy. @_@

[Belondra]

stuck on the frontyard, i thought it was REFD but for some reason that isnt working. :(

[mindfreaker]

I'm stuck at the library and the office. Anybody good with trigonomotry?

[jack]

Gamer Kitty:

What's a nickname for the name mentioned on the wav file thats contained in the other two words as well?

Belondra:

You're very close. Look at all the letters again.

Mindfreaker:

If you aren't good at math just skip it and do that one last. You may not even have to do the math if you figure out the rest of them.

[mindfreaker]

what about the library? Can't figure it out.

[Clee]

I'm very stuck in the fireplace the 6 digits 3 letters of equal length and the question has me stumped??????

[ShOpTilIdroP62]

i still need help on the library with no clues

[Clee]

It's a secret code squared off

[jack]

I'm very stuck in the fireplace the 6 digits 3 letters of equal length and the question has me stumped??????

You need more trigonometry to solve that one. To calculate it draw a right triangle and use the distance per second as the hypotenuse. You will have everything you need to calculate the distance. The other clue is just telling you that its a three letter word.

Mindfreaker

Its a cipher that uses a certain shape to decode it

[Clee]

Thank-you Jack but I was hoping to hear no more trigonometry for this riddle and now I'm highly disappointed (crying)

[mindfreaker]

Library
Ok. Can someone just pm me the answer? I'm getting nowhere on this one. I need the answer to the office puzzle too.

Fireplace
Anybody figured out the fireplace yet?

[panama]

Anybody figured out the fireplace yet?

For the fireplace, divide you meters per second by 1.0946362

[Crila]

OK...the basement spell out luncheon meat. can someone PLEASE tell me where I'm going wrong?

Also, I'm aware of the Ceasar Cypher, but what does a square shape have anything to do with anything?

[StarShinobi]

:ashamed: What do you do on the last page? All that is there is the list of the rooms and I don't know what to do.

Nevermind, brainfart ^_^ Working on the name

[ShiningStar]
