I did everything, but it keeps telling me I have one more puzzle to solve. And all the challenges show completed but there are only 8 sentences on my clue board. Anyway did we have to do it last night or can we still answer today?

Dipo, Have you fit all the puzzle pieces you've collected together on the game table? Once you do that, the fireplace will open to reveal an additional puzzle - the origami/star puzzle mentioned above.

If the fireplace opens you have to click on it and enter a room, do the reel puzzle then click on the podium to bring up the last step.

Oh, thanks so much!! I suppose if you do not have the puzzle pieces in the right order the fireplace will not open. Maybe that is the problem I will go and check.

So my stuff shows that Challenge 8 is complete, and when I go and put the puzzle pieces into the space for them nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Ok, I see the spoiler above about alignment, but I can't get anything to move except the puzzle pieces, and what is the apron?

You guys must think I am nuts, I finally figured out how to make the little dials move, but when I put in the symbols nothing happens. Ok, I don't know what I did, but I kept spinning and starting over and finally!!! I got the final clue. Thanks everyone for reading me blather on and on about this nightmare puzzle!!

Click below to view spoiler
okay since I've been asked to enlighten re my guess. due to the pieces we kept getting I noticed a pattern - that it seemed to be washington dc. And I spent some time studying ask.com's map of washington dc. Specifically the monuments/mall area. And due to the nature/theme of the show I started suspecting the National Museum of American History (aka the simthsonian). do a search on it, check the admission price and what is on display there that might be related to the show.

I'm still on the diving part of the challenge and I keep running out of air before I can pick up the three things. Is there a trick I'm missing? Help!

babyjax, just in case you need clearer instruction than, "go get air" LOL. I would swim along the higher area and then when I got to the object go up for air and then straight down and back up for air before swimming on to the next object.

Liss you should join our other board we have tons of elaborate theories/posts that came to that conclusion.

The latest "hot" answer that I will post here since I fear not enough will see in time was in a clue. I will post it at end of this, so skip if you don't want to see.

What I came to say is I thought with the clues I could just line em right up and decide on a final guess when I see the final answer (and see if I agree it's an anagram or not). Well I can't get the damn thing to open either. Some folks said they spent 3 hours on it. I'm SOOO frustrated/annoyed and I want to go watch BB in 20. Been at it 40 alreay. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Was hoping someone here had a good way to do this. Sigh. I'll be SO frustrated if I don't get this done in time to take a final guess after all of this!

Anyway.....if you want to read an interesting theory go here;

OMG I fiddled some more and was about to quit for a bit (or start throwing things and it opened) Holy crap I finished this thing!!! I am SOOO mad that my life stopped me from really taking the time to put into this that I wanted to. I was so into it!!!! Damn absessed tooth....damn killer bees....damn puter crash...DAMN BB!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGHHHHH. Well set VCR so I can half pay attention to BB and at least spend a few on this. The final thinging is MOST confusing...the parchment. And I haven't seen much on any board about it...then against I wouldn't have known what they were talking about hehe

I think I solved the clue if it's an anagram for the parchment but no idea wtf it means ACKKKK is anyone around???

I'm here lurk. The parchment said " I seek thy reef".... I didn't try to figure out an anagram for it. Email me if you want or post here . I finished my last guess already so can't do anything more.

I'm so torn for my last guess...although some say the game ended at 3 so might be too late anyway. I'll post here since we only have a few precious minutes late if the official posted time is correct.

I actually have 3 anagram theories. They are;

I seek thy reef

1-I free the keys

2-Free is the keys

or if reef is the only word

3-Where is the early symbol laid out for free?

I am leaning towards 3.

Since I already guessed NMAH the 2 new theories that I find interesting are the one I posted above about asking that question at ask.com and the WW11 memorial and this;


"So, simply put, the Treasure is Thomas Jefferson, the symbol, the DOI and the location, the Jefferson Memorial. Admission free. Located on a ridge of rocks or sand near the surface of the water (a reef)."

But I don't think I ever guessed The National Archives which was popular.

So any ideas???? I need more time I feel soooo close! If I win (fat chance) I'm sure I can get you a nice pressie or something! I so wish they gave us more than 24 hours to brainstorm final answer at least. That is just WRONG imho!

I was just looking at the nbc boards. There is mention that the time may have been extended. Will check right now to see if I can find out.

It looks like you may have until 8:59PM today to finish challenge #8. That what it says anyway. Go for it! That is on the official rules. OOPS, that was eastern time. Only a few min left then.

Well, with a family reunion last week and a crashed computer when I got home I missed my opportunity to give a guess this week and last.

I did get to play the games and get the clues so that was fun but no luck in entering for me.

Hope someone here wins the big one, lol!

Awww sorry you missed it Cathie. And boy do you have my sympathy/empathy about the crash. Ditto here (and it nuked about half the research I had done for TH). GRRRRR. Life can be soooo annoy.

As a quick heads up looks like AOL is going to do a major online treasure hunt based on current entertainment stuff. It's produced by Mark Burnett so sounds big time! Didn't have time to read all, saved the link and will explore later. If I recall it's starting in a few weeks (or maybe Sept) to launch the new free aol. Sounds like a pretty interesting promotion actually.

I just wish now that it's over they would tell us the right answer. I still want more time to play lol!

I was deep in reef research to type in my answer when the browser crashed and took today's entry with it,sheesh. Crashing computers suck. I could not get that entry back.

I was thinking thqt since the Washington monument was center to the puzzle, it could have been on one of the stones
