I have gotten to the land of the dead and made it to the end of the rainbow. Is there a way to get on the rainbow?

from the other side there is... did you come down the frigid river?

yeah, it's kinda sprawling.
Back in the days before automap (whoever invented that is a genius), we used to need pen and paper to map out games, so we knew where we were, where we were going, and generally not get lost. Quest logs were also a great leap forward, that was another thing that had to be tracked by hand. plus the original zork had a very limited inventory system, so that became another issue to struggle with.

I have been to the mine now. I missed it before because the link was broken :/

Unfortunately I can't advance more in the game due to blacklists in all Bad Rats GAs, that's so sad. Bump anyway, this event looks nice!

I mean donating gifts for GA xD
If it's not too late, I'll gladly join :D

There are a few puzzles I can put back in, if you got a worthwhile prize, and a part of the coal mine if you have multiple copies of the same game (at least 3, preferably more)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you're interested, I have multiple copies of some bundle games that I'm willing to donate, just let me know, thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes please. I'll be available to chat in about 90 minutes; add me
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't have anything worth, just bundled games
So... Multiple copies? But it's taken? :(

I got room for two regular GAs, if you want to throw them in
Comment has been collapsed.
Got it! Will make it after I got my keys xD
What's the end date & hour?

I just made exactly ended at christmas? Is it ok? I'll send you the links xD

Keeping every tab open to try my best to keep track of everything with a blank notebook. So many hidden links and pieces most of which I've found a home for. No idea on hades or what to do with banking part. Too tired to fully appreciate the full scale of this, maybe tomorrow. Sleepy bumps for Zork

Got to about 95, and even if I only entered a few, it took a looot of time to get out of the maze. :P
The thing with the bank is that it's a bit confusing having groups of 2 characters there. There would be too many different possibilities if trying to rearrange them (already tried like 30 and failed ._.)..
I also got some extra letters missing from somewhere, can't figure that out...
But anyway, congratulations for all your hard work! This is an awesome puzzle :)
Comment has been collapsed.
think about how many groups of 2 characters you found, then think about what else you found in the bank
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the fast reply and the hint, I'm still trying to figure it out though. Maybe I'm too tired, I'll probably go to sleep and try again after I wake up. ^^

i have to ask myself, why do people keep entering to win THAT game... 😑
nice event 😁

Before I go even further in this, is the entire event restricted to level 3+?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, at first i say WTF is this!
But now, i'm trying to decode the bank PIN XD
Thanks and bump =)
Comment has been collapsed.
The Frigid River problem answered some questions, thanks. :)
Would it be too much to ask for some other hint on the bank pin? It seems I'm not the only one struggling here. The only way I see would be rearranging the letters/digits, but there would be thousands of possible arrangements. Pretty sure I'm wrong with the method.. :D

The bad pin gets you eaten by a grue.
Count how many pieces of paper you found.
Now, compare the pieces to the bad pin
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, damn, I would've never made that connection with the bad pin. =)
Thanks a lot for clearing that up.

~thanks for reminding us history of computer games :)

Ok, so the bank is very difficult. See my first reply for another hint
Comment has been collapsed.
Found 32 / ??? so far. I'm really enjoying this, thanks for setting up the event.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you let us know which section, or it's one of the later sections. Having to rerun sections because something was added after an event has started is painful.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh. No need. There are multiple ways to get around that one.

I didn't wanna close any link I had, and I wanted to write them all down when I was done.
But I screwed up, I closed it all xD
I had quite the bunch of windows open, don't think I got everything.
Did manage to solve everything I found (probably didn't find everything :p)
Had lot'a fun!! Awesome! <3
Comment has been collapsed.
there are 111 gibs in total. that's a lot of windows to keep open
Comment has been collapsed.
To be honest, I had 5 windows open with each just showing the first 2 letters of the titles. (to see if I already had them opened, and yes I always checked the link, as I know it's possible to create more giveaways of the same game (like with the Mazes :p )
So I think I probably had around 15-20 tabs in each window :D
Took me like 3 hours I think to get through everything :p
However! I clicked every possible link there is, and saw quite alot of visible "hidden stuff"
It's just weird that with 1 hidden treasure (puzzle) you go back to the start (2 steps away from it) instead of finding something else. I found that 1 quite odd. Didn't really help/do anything (no not referring to the troll, had that several times aswell :) )
But again, awesome job!
Comment has been collapsed.
there are a few red herrings in the game. Sounds like you found most of it. I really wasn't trying to make it difficult, and as far as I can tell, people only really had trouble with the bank (coincidentally, one of the most difficult parts of the original game too)
Comment has been collapsed.
My installation of Pale Moon currently has 430 tabs in one Window. I can load and unload tabs at will using a plugin called "All Tabs Helper"
It also lets me search my open tabs, and tells me if I have duplicate tabs open.

WELCOME TO ZORK
There are 110 giveaways, of which over a hundred have less than 100 entries - and plenty of GAs are still in the single digits.
Seems like most people don't bother looking for / solving puzzles, and that means they only touch the surface. Anyway, there are some really good giveaways here, and at phenomenal odds, for those willing to venture a little further
I want to thank the contributors without whom this event wouldn't have been possible: blackendEvn, Delisper, DrP, epica, Goldes, HiroHiro, KingJZ, MancSoulja, Nask0, quan1503, rayl1ght, thecrzyguy, Traqie, Zogrob
I'm sorry there's so little interest in it.
Here's the original game
