😁 Just out of interest, all you lot racing ahead, if this had been a chocolate advent calendar, would you have opened the doors early and eaten all the chocolates? 😂

@waltzingparrot - no I am usually very good and well behaved with this sort of thing - you are of course correct and I will do a day at a time from now on.🫢.
Also thanks for posting about this - I only bought it from seeing it on here and am really enjoying the puzzles but also the thread !

@RaelImperialAerosolKid I'm really glad I put it on here and secretly glad that people are working ahead because I've always had timely helpful hints.

I bought it for DS22 really, but it's been lovely that we've worked on it together and I was able to show him the power of Mumsnet when we got stuck on Day 1 and I said 'Dont worry, I'll ask on Mumsnet, someone is bound to have the answer'. Thank you all for contributing.

Unfortunately I'm type 1 diabetic so I'm enjoying the game without having to resist the chocolates 🤣. Also being retired means plenty of time to look things up and this has been quite challenging but enjoyable. Still not quite finished as PAT doesn't want to reveal all easily. If you need any subtle help let me know

Got any advice on day 15s Riddle and the chess board? I have been stuck on it for two days. No combination of positions I try works.

Dreamyer · 14/12/2023 14:34

Day 14. The left page is a old riddle. The right side is a location. Who would you ask a riddle in that location?

Dreamyer · 14/12/2023 14:36

Ignore the Pat code for day 13. If you do get the correct code the answer is "SAPIENS". The hints ask you who lived with Sapiens and are now extinct. Enter that as your answer. a simple search will give you the answer.

Pilscat · 14/12/2023 16:16

It’s where the chess pieces are in the picture

ScrambledSmegs · 14/12/2023 16:18

No they don't need to move, it's just the order.

Rainbow57 · 14/12/2023 16:22

Day 15, have you got the pat code and the riddle? From there it's all about the order the 4 pieces have in the escape and leave the castle

Jaland07 · 14/12/2023 17:41

Omg I was soooo overthinking it.

Rainbow57 · 14/12/2023 19:30

All done, ends with a 2 minute 39 second voice message. Good luck everyone, it was fun

Chocolates are not nearly as exciting as puzzles!

smallplants · 15/12/2023 06:42

Day 16...why can I not see the number???

Mellissamoon · 15/12/2023 07:49

Can anyone please give me a hint for day 18? I’ve got the name of the place but I think I’m supposed to add and subtract something but not sure what!

Fiona152318 · 15/12/2023 08:04

I’m struggling to find the pat code on day 15 any hints?

Mellissamoon · 15/12/2023 08:05

Oh I got the answer!

It’s in the left side of the chest board sideways

Fiona152318 · 15/12/2023 08:44

But that gives me more than three numbers I’m obviously missing something!!

What are the numbers you are getting?

Rainbow57 · 15/12/2023 10:13

Look for photos on the Internet of the full side area shown on the building. There aren't many but once you see them you should know what to do
