Step 1 was easy enough. Now, step 2...not sure how to identify what that last bit represents. Thanks for doing this! I always appreciate when someone puts effort in for our entertainment...especially when I don't have to buy a book to participate

I always appreciate when someone puts effort in for our entertainment...especially when I don't have to buy a book to participate I don't think I'll ever write a book and I have a few more ideas for free to play hunts that hopefully the community enjoys. But first someone has to solve Issue #0 and so far I am glad it lasted more than a few hours.

I've seen a few "test" submissions, looks like everyone is stuck at the same spot on the puzzle right now. Keep going!

The email confirmation link might only work once but the download file should continue to work. strum712 and niceandblue If you are having trouble with the download file please DM me your email address and I can make sure you are subscribed and have the valid url link to the puzzle file.

If you have the jpg file you should have what you need for the puzzle. The rules and some extra bits of info were in this post and on the website retro13.com

I too, have registered and read the rules. But as your post says, “get the file, follow the directions”. I see no directions. Are there actual instructions/directions I am missing? Thank for clarifying!

The puzzle doesn't include clearly spelled out directions when first opened. However, it is similar to other puzzles within the the puzzle itself you will come upon clues that lead you to uncovering more information. I believe most people have figured out it is necessary to decrypt the first line and I know for sure several puzzlers have figured out how to submit solutions properly since I have received them, albeit incorrect to this point.
I will take this feedback as I look to launch more puzzles soon.

Is the picture/setting of any importance to the puzzle? This puzzle is fun but I dont see any more clues to lead to who is L.B. Retro, is everything that we need in the PDF?
