100 DAYS PROJECT: #59

The Library

59thelibraryWhew. This one was a test of patience and skill and I’m not sure I’ve passed. It is a quest. There are clues that lead one through the story to discover what is required to complete what is essentially a word puzzle. While you may leave without guessing the answer–since unlike IF, this had to be based upon the honor system to allow progression of the story and a conclusion.

The map ended up becoming wonderfully geometrically symmetrical and if you’re stuck, you may choose to click above to enlarge it.

If you’re really stuck or just plain give up, you can email me for the solution.

    You know, for someone who can’t write for children, you’re doing a passing imitation. This would be chewed up and swallowed whole by high schoolers. (Of course, I had to ask you for the answer, but that’s for another therapy session.) This was a tremendous piece of work!

    Thank you! It was a mental nightmare that just took the whole day over. I fell back to sleep this morning immediately after my husband woke me up and the poor man went to work without a lunch.

    Do you think this is high school level? Wouldn’t they want something more interesting for the story? Though I’ve no doubt they’d likely solve the puzzle because of their experience with games.

    I’ll have Jamie read it and let you know.

    I’d appreciate it. I’m in unfamiliar territory here. I was never a child.

    While I seem to be in perpetual mode.

    nice! it was very confusing, and somewhat annoying when I got to the page I just left 2 clicks ago, but very good. some parts were quite poetic.

    Thanks for checking it out, Jamie! Sorry about the backtracks, but in setting this up in a single day, I was more concerned with giving every opportunity to catch the clues and so retraced steps though direct routes are also available. Did you guess the answer or did Mom tell you?
