RE: Introducing the Pinapple Arcade!

in #neondistrict7 years ago

nice intro to the puzzle :)

I tried my hand at the Terminal puzzle quite early, but lacked the skills to really do much with it (other than that one time I found 3 hidden commands in a few seconds due to my brain leaping about... but then I got stuck again XS)

Good luck with the hunt !

Thanks! I'm a rookie myself if it comes to these kinds of puzzle games. There is definitely a lot to wrap your head around at the start and things seem quite intimidating at times. If you're interested to learn about the steps to solve the terminal (1st of 3 levels of this puzzle), feel free to check out my post about it: The 15 ETH Neon District Puzzle - Stage 1: The Terminal

I never got farther than the gateway 😅

Most of the terminal steps requiring cryptography skills were solved by a little group I was in, and I just tagged along.

They kicked me out after finding the Gateway though 😅

Only had time to see there was some kind of word sequence they'd managed to find.

Maybe I'll give it another go...

In that case, my write up won't help you much, since it only covers the steps needed to reach the gateway. If you intend to give it another go, you can find a lot of tips and hints related to the gateway in the discard channel. Alternatively, you can also give one of the pinapple arcade puzzles a shot 😉

I'm looking at a few of them... I have no clue for mist if them 😅

I've managed to find the Infinity,Infinity and NaN,NaN tag walls, but figuring out if there's anything hidden, or which messages are clues, hasn't worked for me yet (also. .. I'm very sad the graffiti tags on infinity and NaN don't stay 😢)

In any case, I did learn a lot from your article, like how the others managed to solve some of those images.

We shall meet again at the Gateway 😈

Yeah, the graffiti wall is pretty cool, as well as all the other many things that are to be discovered in the pineapple arcade. It's also fun to just play the arcade games from time to time. But each time they show some clue, it reminds you that there's a puzzle waiting to be solved. Thanks, I'm happy to hear that you found my article helpful! Get that Gateway solved, I'm waiting for you at the Core! 😉😎

I'll join you as soon as I can !

between not having wifi at home, and being in my Master thesis internship, It might take a bit of time though...

Depends how much I help myself through the Discord XD

I've been hearing a few people say they've managed to get a Trophy, but I only see a single one that's been distributed on the Trophy page, you know anything about how all that works ?

Sounds like a plan! 👍Hm... The trophies and the procedure to claim them are described on the about page. But I don't quite know how the process of announcing the winners work. There's a winner announcement channel on discord, but so far no winner was announced. I mainly saw people winning the coiin prices you can get by playing the coiinman arcade game. It's best to join the discord channel to get the latest information. I also haven't had time to check today, so I'm not up to date 😅.
Have a great day & good luck with your internship!
Cheers

Edit: The first 6 winners were just announced on discord and the Trophies section of the pineapple arcade website was updated as well.

Yup, I'm part of the Discord already :)

I was one of the very first people in the Neon District discord to mention the Terminal puzzle in the chat, back when it was the only puzzle... Lots of people possibly knew about it, but I hadn't yet absorbed the whole "don't blab your tongue unnecessarily" crypto-solver ethics XD

I'm pbock in the discord too, see you in the Arcade :)
