The Puzzle Agency Storyline has been going on for almost a year, and this is the 9th part. No previous experience is required though, so join us on this adventure, and enjoy the event.

Solutions


Optional Story:
When you arrive back from your mission to take down the Order of the Jigidi, you're met by a young girl who introduces herself as Katie. Nordh tells you he met Katie and her mother Cathy almost a year ago while working undercover inside Quiz HQ, a building shaped like a pyramid and home of the International Terror Heathens, or ITH for short. Even though they worked there, it was noticable that the staff didn't have any idea what was really going on behind the scenes.

"While mom, Cathy, was investigating some strange things going down at the Quiz HQ she just disappeared", Katie explains. "I haven't heard from her in over a week, and she told me if things went bad I could always count on Nordh here to help me."
Katie hands you her Security badge from work. "You can use this to gain entrance to the bottom level of the Quiz HQ. Nordh tells me you did an excellent job undercover in the last place and if he trusts you, I do as well. So, please, find my mom and bring her safely back home."

Well, you asked when the next one was going to be, but you had at least hoped there'd be a short time to rest up between missions. And while you knew you had to take on ITH one day, this new development makes it even more important.

This Puzzle Agency story takes place in two different locations. Nordh will help you from the Puzzle Agency mansion to try and guide you to the top of the Quiz HQ pyramid. There will be a set of quiz-like ITHs that symbolizes the different floors of the pyramid. You must start at the bottom and solve the first 5 ITH links before you can unlock the next level. Between each floor a more proper puzzle has to be solved to continue on your way upwards.

Codes deciphered are used on itstoohard.com.


No more hints can be bought.

Hint system
You can buy hints for everyone to use by creating GAs and sending me links privately. Let me know if you're interested. The GAs will then be added as rewards for solving the different levels, and a hint(s) for that level will be added.
Level 1 (WW2): 1-4 points GA value
Level 2 (Vikings): 5-9 points GA value
Level 3 (Ancient Greece): 10-19 points GA value
Level 4 (Ancient Egypt): 20-29 points GA value
Level 5 (The top): 30+ points GA value

You can, for example, create 3x10 point GAs for a level 5 hint. Or 1x8 points can give you two hints for level 1. You can even make a train with someone else to reach a higher level if you hand them in together.

As an addition, it should be games. No clickteam fusion GAs ;P
Last chance to buy hints will be January 16th, after that I will remind all complete solvers to check the top for any new GAs that may have arrived so they have a chance to check them out.


If anything seems wrong with an answer, tell me what question it is and I'll give it a look. You can try to drop subtle hints on what the answer should have been.

There is probably nothing which interests me but where is that 3-car train from Snoopyman? I just can't find it. I would have assumed it is after the Ancient Egypt Gods puzzle but I don't see it there (or anywhere on the Ancient Egypt plateau).

It's after the whole level is finished, including puzzle, not the single ITH.

Could you perhaps share the link somewhere else (perhaps in the ITH where you enter the passcode for the top)? Cause I can't find the right place from any of the ITH's linked in the main post without having to solve the Egyptian puzzle again.. Which I could do, of course, but I'm feeling lazy ;-)

Ohh thanks missed that one! Works like a charm :-) And already owned all the games in the train :-p

I have to say, I'm super impressed with the integrity of the complete solvers. There's a bunch of keys lying freely to be taken and everyone's who took one is stating which ones they have taken, and so far, not a single one has been reported as already been used, which means no stealthy ninjas taking them all. That's what I call great character!

I have severe problems with the Viking tug-of-war question. I browsed maybe 20 different sites and there is only one word for the game. And it doesn't accept the answer, in all of its formatting variants. What am I missing? :(

The correct usage of the "swedish" letter ö?

Huh, then I'm on the completely wrong track. Almost what feels like half of the internet is telling me Viking version of tug of war is called skin pulling.
So, I have no idea what the answer is supposed to be. Well, it was fun while it lasted ^^

Nevermind, found it ^^
It was the same answer I used on my 3rd try, but you updated it with ö, right? It didn't work before.

Please forgive my stupidity, but where can I find the reward GAs for the hints? I went through all the levels and didn't find them :(

You still haven't completed the final puzzle.
But as written in the main description, they can be found after you solve the level they give a hint to. So a hint for anywhere on level 1 will be found after you've solved the level 1 puzzle.

Yeah it only happened because the third hint is horrible compared to the first two.

Grats on solving the pyramid. Had to look up that you had entered a GA at the end to see if you had gotten there since you were so silent. :) Thanks for bumping at least, now I can add you to the hall of fame!

I used a ton of slaves! (or if you read up on your pyramid section, you'll know pyramids wasn't built by slaves, they were paid workers)

Neither "workers" nor "laborers" counts as a valid answer in that question though :)

After a lot of pulled hairs, searches on google and doodles on paper I finally solved it too \o/ Thank you for organising this and thank you to everyone that bought hints :)

As for the mismatching number of solvers. I did actually solve some of it on my desktop and some of it on my laptop when I went abroad so it is partially my fault, sorry. I didnt even think that it was gonna screw the numbers up :( Note to self: make an account next time.
