Gamebible Book 1 page 25

  • 1 of 12: Most who have explored the Gamebible book 1 have found the strange cryptogram in page 25.
  • 2 of 12: This puzzle is virtually impossible to solve using the "normal" cryptogram methods.
  • 3 of 12: Actually, it can't be solved that way at all. Look more closely at the puzzle. The answer is there, but hidden.
  • 4 of 12: One method of hiding information is encrypting it.
  • 5 of 12: Another is 'blending in', hiding a small group of information within a larger, random group.
  • 6 of 12: This puzzle is of the other type.
  • 7 of 12: Actually, it's a classic type of 'not seeing the forest for the trees are in the way'.
  • 8 of 12: Or 'not seeing a sentence for all these stupid letters in the way'.
  • 9 of 12: You are metaphorically (and truly) in the dark in this matter. Why not shed some light on the subject?
  • 10 of 12: Or the puzzle itself.
  • 11 of 12: Look more closely at the puzzle. You'll find that there are some letters that seem to be a part of it at first glance but when you look at it carefully...
  • 12 of 12: ...you'll notice that there are some letters that are darker than the rest. This hides the message. You can lighten the image to see it easier.
