I'm missing 2 on the poker square.

Is the purpose of the game to get everything, or open the map, or both.

I notice that punctuation doesn't matter (re: the religion square), but does spelling matter? E.g. does "cows" open up "cow"?

There's apparently some kind of meta clue that's part of the purpose (go ahead and read the hints--it doesn't give anything away). Spelling seems to matter sometimes and not others, so far as I have seen.

OK, I'm really bad at this and I'm giving up for now; here's far I got.
― Leee, Friday, 17 August 2007 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
What I got. Note that clicking on someone else's link replaces your progress with theirs.

Man, I played this a year ago. It's a bitch.

Ugh, some of those answers are stupid! How am I supposed to know some dude's Slashdot username?

I HATE THIS GAME.

My progress.
― Leee, Sunday, 19 August 2007 02:22 (sixteen years ago) link
and mine again. Leee, I used your progress to improve mine. I also found one of the yellow words (oooooh)
― abanana, Sunday, 19 August 2007 09:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Cool, Alan! And I used yours for virtually all the cartoon and time squares.
― Leee, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:00 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, I have to save this for a rainy/work day, because otherwise I'm not getting me-stuff done. Before I link my progress, just a hint: the theme of the bottom-left square is movies. Not a whole lot of progres, but unlocked a few key things/themes.

A little more
― abanana, Sunday, 19 August 2007 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link
tiny bit more
― abanana, Sunday, 19 August 2007 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link
3 or 4 more words
― abanana, Monday, 20 August 2007 04:54 (sixteen years ago) link
lots more
Yes, I am unemployed.

glad i gave up and looked at the answers, never in a million years would i have got some of those stupid links
― Ste, Monday, 20 August 2007 11:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Alan, one of us needs to drink more.
― Leee, Monday, 20 August 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link
more
― abanana, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I, also, hate this game.
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just cheating now.
― Leee, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link
OK I cheated my way to the end. The left half of the meta-puzzle doesn't relate to the answer, very unsatisfying. And how is "mafia" related to "scientology"? D&D related to computer games but not board games?

It starts great, gets maddening then great for a bit, and then in the end the returns diminish to nil. Seems like a great idea, I'd love to see one that's less focussed on obscure details of uncommon interests.
― patita, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
this might do the trick right now
