OOps I didn't have the lantern. I knew I needed a light in the cave, but didn't see it until about my fifth try at the game.

Ritfie, did you get the artifact? I'm still leaning towards the Star Spangled Banner. I guessed Fort McHenry, but who knows. Even if it's right, it's a random drawing and I never win anything...20 people at a party, 19 prizes, guess who doesn't get one...LOL!!!

Yes, Crzndeb, I got the artifact. It looks like three pieces fit together. I've guessed the National Mall, but this week I guessed The Washington Monument. I went toward a more specific location. I guessed The Capitol too. I won something once in 1992! It was an Atlas, maybe it will come in handy for the treasure hunt.

The sword is up on the hill by the cave, Star.
Crzndeb, your idea of the Star Spangled Banner is interesting. I also guessed the Statue of Liberty. When I guessed the National Mall I got to pick a pasword. Then NBC emailed a confirmation on receiving the password. I don't know if the means anything.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I finally finished it and got the puzzle piece. I need to have that laser procedure done on my left eye especially. Things are too blurry for small stuff. I have to use reading glasses all the time on the computer or for reading anything. So it's kind of hard to see some of the small items in this game. I absolutely did not "see" either the lantern or sword even with my glasses on but knowing where to look I clicked and found them. I love this show and game. I'm a mystery and puzzle fan, LOL!

Ok, I haven't attempted the game yet, but I'm glad to see all these tips here. Another thing I do is check the chat forum boards there. The first week I didn't bother and put in Ft. Knox. The 2nd week I put in Ft. McHenry and last week I put in the Museum of American History at the Smithsonian. Guess maybe I'm getting too specific.. since the Mall was something a lot of people were considering. :-)

Interesting.. I entered The National Mall and I got NOTHING.. NADA!! Maybe I was only supposed to write National Mall without the "the?" Acck! Well, at least I got through it. At first, I thought I'd never get those pipes together. LOL

I think I put The National Mall, Watching. I don't know that it means anything that I could put in a password. I think that NBC doesn't really have things together for this game. Is that stating the obvious? I really think I got to put in the password because my registration finally went through. Who Knows?

Oh I just read my (12:30) above post. It didn't make a whole lot of sense. I shouldn't post at 3:30 am (my time). But I love this game.

Ok hi...for those who wrote I got to some didn't get to other and I've just been one big MESS here. Based on a question I didn't know the answer to (had I signed in before playing that game), I felt I had best play this week before getting folks excited that I had the answer and leading people wrong. I sure would hate to do that!

So I finally made some time to play now, and made sure the first thing I did was log in. I am sad to say I fear my guess may be no better than anyone elses since this time I did NOT have the book pop up again . So I'm thinking it's back to the drawing board here sigh.

BTW if anyone still cares (and ironically one person who wrote had guessed same thing), the one I got all excited about was 'Washington,DC." Up to that point I had been focusing on various Washington landmarks, to the point of looking at building layouts (cause I still say a lot of those on the desk look VERY familiar just can't quite place them) and so many seem tied to DC. So when I read a slew of guesses on that other board and saw someone had luck when they went for that broader guess vs specific as I had been trying, and then I got the book, well there was joy in mudville here for about 10 min lol.

I'll try to get to email later but this day has been horrid. Here I played this to give myself hopes of a victory and now I feel farther away not closer. Sigh so it goes. If I stumble on anything else I will of course share (and doesn't mean for sure this isn't right, just doesn't seem as good a chance now lol).

I am pleased that the only cheating I had to do this week was to find out where the blasted boat was going (I still have no clue how you all got that lol). And like last week's book, what purpose did that tattered paper serve? Do they just throw in useless things now? Maybe I'm supposed to wipe last weeks boot w/it? lol.

Well figured I'd post cause I doubt I'll get to emails today (spent over FIVE hours w/puter probs and they are only 3/4 fixed sigh). And didn't want to leave anyone hanging any longer.

BTW did everyone fly through the pipe part or have I played too many maze games? lolol thought that was as simple as the logs were hard!!! Geez as I wrote that saw what you said Watching...should mail you some games I have (or I should spend less time playing them lol...I had that done first try lol scary!!!).

Well I tried to help...sorry I don't have better definative news. I wanted to play before reading any of the boards again so will try to look at those later and see if there is any answer buzz out there. And for the person who wrote and wanted the URL that's why I didn't send it lol....sorry but knew I'd see game spoiling info and wanted to at least try to play before looking! Will get out over the weekend.

I think the thing to keep an eye out for is IF you get the book again AFTER signing in. Oh well, least I was happy about something for a couple minutes this week sigh!

Lurk, don't be down and out now, you hear? I'm sure we all appreciate your help and the help of others on here. That's part of what makes it fun is the camaraderie on here! Hopefully, you will get the right answer figured out.

Lurk you were so helpful. AND, I believe correct. The following link leads to a Google Maps display that matches perfectly with the puzzle pieces collected so far.

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=38.893204,-77.027893&spn=0.028057,0.057163

We've got the White House at the top. On the second row there's the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, a missing piece, the National Gallery of Art across the Mall from the National Air & Space Museum, and another missing piece. For the bottom row of pieces there's a peninsula that's part of the Tidal Basin (West Potomac Park), and a missing piece.
I hypothesize that the additional pieces will show the National Museum of Natural History across from the Smithsonian, the US Capitol, and more Tidal Basin.

Zoom in on the map that opens from the link (be sure and choose Hybrid view) and see if you don't concur.

No Worries. It's gotta be!

Additionally, that missing Tidal Basin piece will most likely include the Jefferson Memorial.

Hmmm, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson - we've seen those names before. There's even a Roosevelt on the peninsula with West Potomac Park - though it's the 'wrong' one for Mt. Rushmore.

Lincoln and Slavery...

Jefferson and France... (Aren't they going to Paris next? Jefferson was a minister to France before he became President.)

It all fits!

I can't remember where I found it, but if I do I will post it here...someone had a complete layout of all the pieces. It seems the network made a mistake when the show started and had the completed puzzle in their opening. It has been changed but not before someone captured it. Again, if I find the link again I'll post it

Hey guys...first thanks so much for all the nice comments. Yvtig, I totally feel (again or still lol) that Washington is key to the answer just not sure that is the exact answer vs a specific location.

BTW came, read the posts and rather then play the game I decided to hunt down the puzzle picture. I had to change the search criteria a few times but woohoo found it! Truthfully it confuses me more (though clearly we are in the right area lolol).

Do you guys want me to post it here? Or I can just email to anyone who wants it. I have to go play this week's soon but I feel like Kaysar on BB...I'm busy overthinking what guess I want to take this week. Figure I should try more specific local incase it is one.

Hope this is a fun puzzle...the last one was kinda boring/easy IMHO.

Lurk ... I finagled the URL and found it as well. It matches exactly what I forecast above.

I got from a totally different site Yv so not sure if it's the same pic but would assume so. But do you see my line of thinking? I am as certain as you are we are in the right geographic area. BUT could it be a more specific location like I first thought??? Also if you have the same pic there is one spot of interest on it that stands out for me. I need to compare it to maps of the area, but not sure what exactly it is, but if someone showed me this map and I had to pic a place to say dig I would point to that (plus don't recognize it as a landmark unlike the others).

Ok went to look at the pic I have. It's bottom row rt and looks sort of like a fish well a computer one <>< lol. Is that any landmark you know of?
