Print hunt Clues 1-4 hint
Our 10th birthday Artist Trading Print Project is gaining momentum. Click here to read more about the project - otherwise see below for a handy hint if you’re struggling to make head or tail of solving the puzzles to obtain shinies 10-07.
the last step depends on the first
Shiny print cards #10-07 require passcodes that are given to custodians of the card. You need to reuse previous codes and combine them with the next clue, each one building up in a chain to eventually form a complete phrase. (The complete phrase is about a character in the book that inspired our name, Mount Analogue by Rene Daumal.)
If you’re struggling with the concept then here’s examples using an alternative set of passcodes.
Hint 1 for card S10 (Little Fish Design)
see Clue 1 for the actual clues to what each word is.
This passcode consists of 2 words.
Let’s use an example and say that the solution to clue one is
1st word: Father
2nd word: Sogol
Father Sogol is therefore the passcode that you would give to the custodian (but this is only an example! It’s not the real solution to obtain shiny 10!)
Hint 2 for card S09 (Violet Von Riot)
This passcode consists of 3 words. The first 2 words are the words you already obtained from the previous clues
Father Sogol
The 3rd word requires you to solve the puzzle (see Clue 2)
Let’s use an example and say that the solution to the puzzle is:
Teaches.
Father Sogol Teaches is therefore the passcode that you would give to the custodian (but this is only an example! It’s not the real solution to obtain shiny 09!)
Hint 3 for card S08 (Tom Charlesworth)
This passcode consists of 4 words. The first 3 words are the words you already obtained from the previous clues
The 4th word requires you to solve the puzzle (see Clue 3)
Let’s use an example and say that the solution to the puzzle is:
Advanced.
Father Sogol Teaches Advanced is therefore the passcode that you would give to the custodian (but this is only an example! It’s not the real solution to obtain shiny 08!)
Hint 4 for card S07 (Miriam Sheppard)
This passcode consists of 5 words to complete the phrase. The first 4 words are the words you already obtained from the previous clues.
The 5th word requires you to solve the puzzle -
see Clue 4 This puzzle is harder than the others because it requires you to unscramble 4 words from letters highlighted on 4 of our info cards, which provides you with the clue to the last single word. Included in clue 4 is a further hint about what the first and last letter of the word is.
Let’s say that your four unscrambled words are: sport of climbing mountains and the hint is M _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ G - the solution to this puzzle must be:
Mountaineering
Father Sogol Teaches Advanced Mountaineering is therefore the passcode that you would give to the custodian (but this is only an example! It’s not the real solution to obtain shiny 07!)
Puzzles not your thing?
Don’t worry, we’re releasing a few of each shiny into the 5 pack envelopes (and the 8 packs only available via our webshop). Further into the project we may also release a few in other ways, keep an eye out for announcements.
Profits go to Black Swan Save Our Swan - you can make your own donation to the campaign here.
This concludes the five word passcode chain - future shinies will use a different method, or a new passcode chain to obtain.
