Oh my I am so jealous! Is it an app? Book? I want it anyway

TootOnTheBends · 01/12/2023 18:46

The reviews on Amazon say none of the QR codes are working so they can’t do the clues. Is yours actually working?

Just read the review of the guy who couldn't wait and started his on the 27th Nov 😂He obviously got on with no problems, so I expect all us who held out till the 1st Dec have crashed the site.

We had an escape room advent calendar a couple of years ago in attempt to have fun with the family in lockdown! I don't think it was that brand though. It was quite fiddly with making paper things for the clues and in the end only adult ds could work them out as we watched on gormlessly! We went away for a few days and on return "forgot" about it.

Best of luck though! Grin

Yes!! I’ve done day 1. I’ll give you a clue. Work out where in the world the clock with 3pm is.
when you put the answer into the page the qr code takes you to you have to put the format EXACTLY as it tells you to including spaces!

LongLiveGoblingKing · 01/12/2023 20:22

Thank you, we have been searching images for that clock tower. Not found it yet......
At least you've got the QR code to work so that's hopeful.

You can get hints if you go to the qr code
look at famous world clocks

Orange67 · 02/12/2023 11:10

We tried last night when the server was down, so we'll have another go tonight!

Skitto2011 · 02/12/2023 11:16

These work now. The server was just down for a couple of hours due to overload of use.

Skitto2011 · 02/12/2023 11:20

Anyone done day 2 yet? I'm struggling with this one lol.

netcarper · 02/12/2023 16:40

You need to recognise the famous clocks - a quick google will sort you out. Then it’s a time difference puzzle. The site crashed for a couple hours yesterday but it’s ok now.

LEonuh · 02/12/2023 17:20

Day 2 : if you are stuck, look up the numbers. They are all “famous”.

Amiko1002 · 02/12/2023 20:43

And then what?!? lol. I know what the "famous" numbers are, but how to use them to get an answer escapes me!

Look at the numbers a bit more closely is all I can say!

I am stuck on day 3. I have entered the name of the deaf composer in full and with just his famous last name, but I get knocked back each time. Any suggestions?

JustJoinedRightNow · 03/12/2023 05:01

Does anyone know if I bought this now and it arrived on Friday, can I back "do" the puzzles, or do the QR codes stop working for that day??

CascaandZoe · 03/12/2023 05:19

Yes you can, I started doing it on Saturday and was still able to enter Friday's solution

Lolo16 · 03/12/2023 08:35

I just typed the surname in with a capital letter for the first letter abd that worked.

Jsmum2011 · 03/12/2023 08:56

Wezzalls · 03/12/2023 09:22
