Only one number from there is in the Pat code! You’ll get 3 numbers. The top of the Pat code starts near the crease of the book two rows from the top and three squares from the crease or the equivalent of b6 on the right hand side that is the top ‘left’ corner of the Pat code

@mellissamoon @rainbow57 can you help?

Bethpj · 17/12/2023 07:27

@fourplusfour you need to find a picture of the highlighted side of the building online. Or you could use Google Street view.

Judy2261 · 17/12/2023 07:36

Day 16… Any hints please? I can’t see a number.

Look up the building on google earth and look at the same spot on circled the drawing. You might need to move your phone to see it.

Did you fold the page like an accordion?

Judy2261 · 17/12/2023 11:49

Yes, I folded the page. Doesn’t help me. I can’t see any number.

RaelImperialAerosolKid · 17/12/2023 11:52

Keep turning it around and look from all angles

Same here Xmas Confused

Rainbow57 · 17/12/2023 15:16

It's more hit and miss rather than concertina. I put it on excel so I could then play with it

There’s a two digit number in there. You have to turn to book sideways

Thanks for that hint! Finding the building was super easy. There's a trick to finding a picture of the building - make sure it's not from a front but little angled.
I do have a problem with the maths :/ How many digits should have the answer?

Escape room advent calendar.
Can't get day 19 to take. Tried Km, miles, feet. Any ideas? Have the correct coordinates from 14 and 17.
Thanks

Benny44 · 18/12/2023 16:53

fold and turn page and keep looking. second number is easier to see

TrappedPotato · 18/12/2023 18:51

@gnusolak 1 digit.

Rainbow57 · 18/12/2023 19:42

Day 19. Answer in km. Had to be very precise using Google earth and distance between option

Convert them to decimal coordinates.

Use google maps on a computer to calculate exact distance between the two (I couldn't make it work on my phone).

Any hints for the final riddle...?? Xmas Confused

smallplants · 19/12/2023 15:18

Rainbow57 · 14/12/2023 13:02

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

I cannot for the life of me work out the final riddle...do I need to convert all the binary numbers in the PAT code image to letters? TIA for any help.

Rainbow57 · 19/12/2023 16:12

Hi. Do you remember the old number slide game where you had to manoeuvre the pieces around to get them in order? Work out how to do that and then look again for a pat code. Hope that helps for now

Fiona152318 · 19/12/2023 17:26

I can’t work out how to get the distance are you using google maps or google earth ?
