Just jumped in to this one yesterday. Got 3 clues solved. I did use dcode on 2 of them also.

The only one I haven’t gotten is the “reflection” code as I like to call it. The one in the green and blue sections along the center line. Has anyone cracked this one yet? All the brute force attacks on it don’t work so I’m pretty sure there’s a key or they need to be reversed or rearranged somehow. Or it decodes to an anagram. And has anyone found any leads on using the clue, once decoded, from the dark blue text? I found an old book with the same title but haven’t found any useful info in it yet.

Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster.
I’m relatively new to codes and ciphers, but I like this puzzle. I’ve got the Roman numerals at the bottom, the numbers in the top left and the purple letters on the right. I haven’t figured out what to do with any of the info, and I’m stumped on the blue letters. Anyone who has it wanna give a hint? The “don’t overthink it” clue really helped with the Roman numerals, so thank you for that. I also didn’t see the s-eye thing (I didn’t think my eyes were that bad) until someone pointed it out so thank you that as well. I have an idea of what it might mean but I don’t know if I’m right, which probably means I’m wrong...

Look to the top of the pathway for confirmation

I stated earlier that this is my first time doing one of these. Somebody suggested I use Dcode. I went to that website and I have plugged things into almost every single one of those decoders with no luck. I’m not asking for answers, but if someone could tell me how many Numbers I need to break these Roman numerals down into, that would be great.

My thought is that the dark blue letters refer to the location. I've narrowed it down to one general place (not sharing more than this just yet!) I've been scouring photos from the internet/maps to confirm it enough to consider BOTG, but I also haven't deciphered the mirrored letters, or the color blocks (I know, I know!) - I also believe there may be more puzzles/phrases to decode around the edges than what has already been discussed here. I hope to have some more good solving time and a breakthrough soon. Please share when you crack something, no need to give clues - it's just awesome hearing when something can actually be solved and it inspires me to keep going!

I need feedback. I finally had a "light bulb" moment! If you have found enough clues to see how I made this jump, please let me know what you think. Ready: Blue Hill, Maine.

Ready: Blue Hill, Maine. well it’s close to MDI which is highly probable. And the hill reference of course. But have you firmly linked the decoded blue text to this spot? It loosely fits everywhere along the coastline unfortunately however. Am I overlooking some other obvious links?

Which I should add I have no intention of ever trying to recover this one. So don’t worry about me swooping in on your location. I just like this puzzle and am enjoying working on this one

The roman numerals break down into 19 numbers.

When you say that's the only one you haven't cracked, do you mean you got the matchsticks and the colored piano keys?

whoa thanks for the link! That’s huge knowing it’s on an island! That narrows down a ton of states. Make mdi area more probable. Another heart clue also in there.
