Looks like people are playing and submitting guesses for the compass! Nothing correct yet so no one is showing up on the leaderboard. But excited for that first person to make the leaderboard. As a helpful tip, like the last puzzle you will know you have the correct compass code answer when you can move forward with the puzzle. Are you playing alone or working with others this time around?

I am still waiting for the solve for #0. No idea what was right, as I saw no reason to "guess" what was supposed to go where or figure out what is proper formatting. Very confusing, honestly,and saying a solve will be released and then not doing it has me and team sitting out until things are less ambiguous. It also seems that the winning team, or those who share the info, would be the only ones who understand how to fill out data for this one. Are we supposed to guess until we end up on the leaderboard? I hope this is taken as constructive criticism, because it was fun, but just way too frustrating to be guessing what we are supposed to do when we've got the answers.

I tried to share all the steps, but this week I added the exact three keyword answers for The Gauntlet are at the bottom - www.retro13.com/the-gauntlet-puzzle-unveiled/

Anyone figure out what the birds mean, and maybe give a tiny hint? Tis the season of good will.
(I suppose the fact that they are birds might not be important, maybe four shadows... Foreshadow?)

Maybe: RSZQ shift one = STAR

Maybe: RSZQ shift one = STAR You're a gem, choice. I had that pic but only believed it discounted the Birds on a Wire cipher. Thank you! Actually, it's not the pic I was looking at but got the same letters. Don't know how to upload a picture.

Here is an alternative explanation. This item is available on multiple sites. Skaneateles is near Buffalo.

The double pipes on the first line could be 'OR' or just a delimiter/separator. "ME" I assume is Retro, which has a meaning of recent past, old, or backward. So whatever we derive from "YOUR MACHINE" may need to be reversed.
Is there anything in that, Retro?
(and since it's the season of good will, I'm looking for peace)

Retro,
A lot of people mistakenly call bison buffalo's. I believe the one on the cabinet is a bison. What do you see?
Thanks!

(and since it's the season of good will, I'm looking for peace) II could be the sequel to your machine i.e. Pitfall II, Defender II or Gauntlet II.!
