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.

Bump for not solved.

Stuck at alien Q3, have found some sci fi alien language who look a little bit like it, but nothing. Have read all threads for clues, but nothing. My brain is leaking from my head, he wants a beer...poor boy.

Anyway, until this (and the infamous god question) i loved it ! Thanks a lot !

Bump for completion. Took a few weeks off when I hit a wall at the greek keypad but figured I should push through and finish what I started before this ended on me. Good puzzles and nice format.

No more hints can now be bought.

All solvers that posted in the final GA should have been replied to as a reminder to check all new GAs that has been added over the course of the event. There are 103 GAs in total that you can check out. If anyone feel I haven't messaged them, reply here and I'll check the GA if I accidentally skipped over you if you can't find your back there yourself.

I could swear this started with 50 giveaways or less O.o But someone just casually added a 22 giveaways bonus train at the top and another sneaky second train there too. And hints ..... lots of hints .....

Comment has been collapsed.

There were 25 at the start. One for each ITH = 15, then one for each level solved and one for each puzzle solved = 10 more.
I quickly added a small train to each puzzle solved though, so there were approx 50 after the first day or so. I think around 20 GAs are from hints, I haven't calced them seperately.

I'm using a very common term for what's in the image, there should be no problems. I think you're overthinking it.

Erf... It was the first term I use, but without the capital...
Solved (after hours for nothing lol) You can't imagine all I have tried !
Thanks for help !
And big thanks for all this puzzles (even if it makes my first day of holiday seeming like a lobotomy ^^ )

ITH is caps-insensitive. In fact, that question I didn't have capital in the answer.

There's a lesser known problem if you've used ITH for a while, it can sometimes bug out and not give you a correct even if it is. Some sort of memory leak.

I encountered bugs when I was working with the ITHs that it would stop responding to saving them, so a few I had to copy the Q's out manually to a notepad and then reload the browser and re-edit the ITH to make it work again.
