Hey guys checking in. I was 2 weeks behind in the online game (thanks to BB lol). Caught up last night and discovered you can always play but only one guess per week use it or lose it. This brings me to a question.

I took a guess and a book opened (like it did when I first registered) to put my info in case I'm correct or something like that. I didn't recall this ever happening with other guesses but I haven't done this in awhile. Makes me wonder if I finally guessed right!!! Know how you need one correct guess to be entered into the contest? So does anyone recall if this happened to them?

BTW I tried really hard to do these on my own. Only had to get one hint at the very end for the Fort one, and did pretty good on the blasted prison one but thought that key toss was insane until I read the posts here and maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought--took about 20 min. I thought i was lousy!

BTW if nothing else this game is educational. I was looking at building maps to try to see if any matched the thingie on the desk!

Oh one more thing. Was there ANY reason for that stupid boot?? I wasted more time trying to figure out WTF to do with it. I kept trying to throw it at the keys lol

Just chuggin' along here on my paddle boat - havin' no idea whatsoever where I'm goin'. I thought this was supposed to be fun, with only minor frustrations thrown in to keep it challenging, not vexing. I've Asked and Googled for at least an hour and none of my search results are proving the least little bit helpful. Anyone else having any luck?

Well, once you get those put together, do you have any idea of where to steer our little steamwheeler?

I was hoping someone had figured out the destination for the paddle boats. I guess it's back to ask.com for me. Good luck!

hey guys if you take a guess or have in the past PLEASE remember to let me know if that book pops up to give your name, phone etc, will you...as I posted earlier. I probably won't get to play until tomorrow anyway cause my mouse is dead and hopefully just the batteries but with all the usual clicking etc can't see it being fun on the mousepad. BTW if my guess is right will be glad to share with any board posters just pm me or write (my email is in my profile) but not gonna just post it.

I really don't recall getting the book with other guesses but since it's been a couple weeks I wouldn't swear to it. Anyone who played last week recall?? Hope this is a fun one! Oh I found an awesome poster on a different board who posts very clear instructions but I try not to read until I am severely stuck. But if anyone needs info I bookmarked it.

There's a piece of paper to the left of steering wheel. Take to pipe room and use it. Words will appear. Subterrainal lake and shadow. Searching for that came up with Tom Saywer. I was still stuck till I went to the NBC boards. Location is Hannibal Missouri

I even tried the coordinates from the clue in the Genworth log book at the intro of the challenge to no avail.}

Thank you so much Ladyinatl. That was pretty obscure and waaaay beyond my level of tolerance for clue digging.

Yacky I could kiss you thanks!!! Guess I'll stick with this guess each week now. Now I just need my mouse working I wanna go play!

Like I said email me if you want the guess. I think that book makes it VERY promising, plus it makes sense since it relates to the other things I/other have had in mind. I'll give a hint...think bigger not smaller, broader not specific! That's all I'm saying on the board! :X

Lurk my husband and I put in a guess and got the book. He played with the clue pieces on the desk and figured out our guess.

We never found a piece of paper and we clicked for hours last night. I had the same problem with the lever, it wasn't until I rebooted the machine and cleared the browser cache that I found it.

I took the paper to the pipe room and tried to "use" it, but nothing happened except it went back in my backpack. No words appeared when I clicked on it to "use" it.

re the location............

I got the location but I'm something of a bookworm geek. I did a search on some of the text on the piece of paper (specifically found subterranian cave) it's a passage from Tom Sawyer. So then using logic Tom Sawyer = Mark Twain (and river boat pilot) = Hannibal Missouri

Lurk- the first and second week the book popped up for me. Then last week it did not. I think I might have gotten the right answer last week. It's hard to tell what is up with the registering. I'll see what happens this week since I haven't gotten to the game yet. Work has gotten in the way AGAIN!

I've gone back and tried doing the pipes and trying to "use" the paper but nothing happens except it puts the paper back in my backpack when I click on it to "use" it. Any suggestions??? Lurk, maybe you could email me the link to that other website with the instructions, lol. And your guess (grin),

Make sure you have no open ends on the pipes. When you attach the wheel to the left part of pipes and turn, steam will come out on the right end...that's when you can use the paper. I did the search on Tom Sawyer and used St. Peterburg. It took me to the cave. I got the 5th artifact if anyone else needs help

I got a sword by the cave and go in the cave and then nothing. What am I missing Crzndeb? I've managed to bumble through the other puzzles.

Ritfie - use the sword to stab the ground until you hit a box (if memory serves, the area is to the right of when you enter the cave). The box has the artifact.

I did the ask.com search and got the Tom Sawyer info. St. Petersburg is what I typed to get to the right place.

I'm good at the challenges but I guess not at figuring out the location. I've never gotten the book!
