I know what you need. Some puzzles. Thanks to the marvellous Goz, here are some toughies in Zahada. I seriously like a puzzle game where it’s tough to get past the page of rules.
It’s a combination of different puzzle types, some straight riddles, some lateral, some cryptic, others requiring research. And it’s tough. Very tough. So clearly no answers below, but excellent, subtle clues for the inevitable pleading.
Mentally hard i got up to Level 6 then got stuck
I like the fact that the rules have you stumped on first look (Or maybe thats just me)
report
This type of game sux… Try to look up game named: The Unfinished Swan :)
report
Isn’t this just another http://www.deathball.net/notpron/ ripoff?
report
Dear lord I can’t get past the rules
report
number five has completely defeated me.
report
If anything it’s a low-key The Stone. But it’s still fun.
report
This is like The Stone, only it seems, somewhat fairer.
I am stuck on Level 7. The fuckers have me flummoxed.
report
Help w/no. 5 anyone? Stumped.
report
Lol seriously any hints for the rules?
-ashamed-
report
Bah! Got it.
report
For the rules: the rules will tell you how to answer.
report
number six has completely defeated me.
report
Any idea on how many levels there are?
report
Hey Ben, to get past the instructions, you have to be bold.
And Imperial, could you give me a hand with 5? I have no clue at all what that cucumber’s supposed to be about.
report
haha oh wow. Truely ashamed now. Cheers :D
report
number seven has etc.
report
Hints… now imperial creed! No.5! Its diabolical.
PS. no.4 was stupid! the answer should have been help OR a friend. is that a spoiler? telling what the answer /isn’t/?
report
The answer to number five is tailored to stereotypically British behavioural habits.
report
I’m not sure if that was subtle enough.
report
Bob is right.
It’s a word, either one letter or five, that has something to do with the last line.
report
with getting in the last line, amirite guys? You’re a great audience, we’ll be back after these messages.
report
Also don’t get 7. Decent work time-killer but I’m not impressed, really; the answers aren’t about solving anything, just being lateral. So it doesn’t give any satisfaction when you progress.
I bet the server logs are a hoot though, as people type in any old frustrated gibberish.
report
god, i’m stuck on three
D:
report
Stuck on level 16… =[
report
7 requires you [look closely at - Ed] the image.
report
Level 3:
Look EVERYWHERE
report
we aren’t all super geniuses who are also have the right upbringing to get the question ok? some of us are stupid /and/ Australian more clues. the only answer i can think of is: last. ie. get in line… last. i am an idiot this proves it
report
Thanks for the help. Sorta working on 7.
But is 7 really forcing you to go pixel hunting? That was one of those elements I always hated in adventure games.
report
Snow – read the words out loud, slowly.
report
Legendary is out, and you’re talking about…this… get with the here and now…
report
the image on #7 loads kind of sluggishly
report
any hints on 4?
report
As someone sat in front a computer screen racking my brains over these puzzles, I think the answer to 4 should be F***.
report
well i cheated for no. 5 and am now on no. 8! of course now i want to cheat more which sucks. question 7 had a nice red herring though…. still don’t get 5 though doesn’t make sense those words mean the same thing so how is that a riddle. ah well cheating is good.
report
I’m stuck on level 2. None of the letters work, damn it.
report
L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y
report
The problem with question 7 for me is that I’m doing this on an Eee… it’s hard to “look closely” given the small screen area. I think I’m going to go blind before I solve it…
report
Make sure you keep track of all your answers if you value your sanity… =[
report
If you back to problem 16 periodically, you’ll get it.
report
Actually, scrap that, the back button works fine… =P
report
Gah I hate these sort of games they remind me of how dumb I really am, but like a battered lover I return to it time and time again.
Like Smurfy I’m stuck on level 2, I despise riddles I sort of know what it wants from me but at the same time baffles me.
report
Stuck on 7. There’s got to be some trick to it that I’m not getting.
This remind me of notpron and Orio’s Riddle. I still have dozens of pages bookmarked and images saved from the latter, as well as a program or two that I downloaded to solve some of the puzzles. It’s a shame it completely disappeared, since I was so close to the end but never got to finish.
report
Ah, never mind. I just didn’t see the answer when I looked at it at first.
report
Level 11 has sent me scurrying away to the dark, remote corners of my start menu in the seemingly vain hope of progression. Extensive tinkering in Paint, Character Map and the binary function of Calculator has yielded little. Someone please put me out of my misery.
report
You guys HAVE to play Zest Riddle – http://zestriddle.ovh.org/
report
Stuck on level 2.
These riddles hurt my small mind.
Not a good haiku.
report
Got to 21. Realised I was half an hour late for leaving the office. Cried.
report
Arg, stuck on level 6 – every clue just seems to point in a different direction.
report
Yeah, well… you’re better off with zahada since legendary is pretty much, let’s put this elegantly… a steaming pile of shit, I had high hopes for it. Also, I’m starting to have quite an alergy to all that is unreal3ngine powered, now I shall retreat to my cage…
report
4 has got me. Am I looking for sounds like ‘a duck’, or ‘quack’?
report
I’m stuck at level 1. Those answers don’t work:
iamready
ready
iambold
start
go
offyougo
level2
leveltwo
nextlevel
report
Ok, I’ve googled the answer, now I understand why I had to be bold -_-”
report
@Fazer
Look more closely-er. It’s a bit daft, but really, the answer is there.
report
8 makes me really angry, cause it doesn’t seem like it’s that hard but I can’t figure it out.
report
For those stuck on 6, just in case you weren’t aware, there’s more to the page than meets the eye.
Sadly, I can’t make heads or tails of the clue(s).
Damn you, Mr Walker, I’m gonna be up all night. T_T
report
Got 4, but by elimination. Still not sure how it quite fits.
report
Dammit, 6 is so simple when you finally figure it out.
report
I gave a couple of more mathematically inclined riddles over in the forums if anyone is interested. What I did of Zahada was fun, but a bit random for my tastes.
report
A completely (un)subtle clue for number 8 if you’re still struggling noexes: paper dolls
report
I’m officially giving up on this game. I usually solve between half and two thirds of the puzzles/riddles and have to cheat for the others and, quite aside from that being beyond the point, it annoys the hell out of me because my brain just isn’t wired to solve these things.
report
I am smarter than all:)
Just ask google:

report
On a roll up to 16 now. Going to stop for a bit.
report
Level 18 is just mean..
report
Rolled right on through to 16, generally hasn’t been too bad so far.
Wait, 17 now.
report
Aaaaand level 19. I’m normally so shit at these things.
report
No, level 23 is mean.
report
Level 23 is mean in another way..
report
Wats the answer for level 4?
report
got over 4….stuck at 5 now….=.= can anyone help?
report
Fuuuuuck, level 23 makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me.
report
Stuck on 6, still. I enjoy it though, I’m usually horribly bad at these things, so I’m quite proud to have got that far. 6 has me utterly flummoxed though. I found a hidden hint (I actually found it in the page’s source rather than the easier way …) but I remain clueless.
report
great pun
report
Lotekk,
Is level 6 that simple? i really couldnt figure it out….
report
OH my goshhh level 6 is interesting!!!!!
report
Man, I wish Cliff Johnson would get off his ass and ship the sequel to Fool’s Errand.
report
MaybeNextTime,
6 is reli interesting, just like LoTekk said, there is more to page that meets the eyes…enjoy it!!
report
I’m on to 23. I’m a bit bored now because lots of them are “look at the sourcE!!!” problems. :(
What ever happened to good old fashioned wordy riddles?
report
23 was horrible, but I got it eventually and zoomed on to 34. I thought I’d stop there as this one looks a little complex.
report
34 is the ultimate evil. Needs a printer, or the spatial skills of a god.
report
Just finished puzzle three.
A more fitting title would be total bastard.
report
Yeah, I’m gonna give up at 34 – can’t be arsed printing that out at 00:24 in the morning…..
report
In my own twisted way I managed to skip from level 15 straight to level 25. :P
So I’m trying to go back over the intervening 10 levels and I’m sure the answer to 15 isn’t difficult, most of them it’s taken a few minutes at most… but I’m tired, and if I can’t figure it out soon I’ll probably just go to bed.
report
Level 37, bitches.
report
pls help me on level 9 J.Wakler….. =(
report
J.walker** im stuck at level 9 more than 12 hrs!
report
Level 9: The first lines are all text. The last line is a picture. What’s the file name of the picture?
report
Damn that rule question was hard! Though I managed to outsmart it after a lengthy struggle.
report
Damn you level 41!
Sorry, just had to say that.
I was hoping that I could get stuck on the next level and work in an Essex reference, so damn you twice, level 41!
report
Rene – remember it’s a website. So how else can you look at that picture?
report
7 is driving me nuts, and probably damaging my eyes. Am I really supposed to be staring at the image, looking for a word or clue, or is “Look VERY closely for the answer” the riddle itself?
report
Geoff. Again, remember it’s a website. How else can you look more closely at the image?
report
Dizet Sma , J.walker.
