Stooner: sustained futbol cry - goal? (goooooooaaaal ;p)
...

edit: not sure if grimwerk is okay with that, so...
But thats not really sustained.

Some can be just about anything.

Egyptian vessel = Stone vessel.

12 Angry Men - Movie/Drama
climb aboard - Ship
Elvis rocked it - Jailhouse
give me your answer, do - I'm half crazy
he took an arrow to the knee - Skyrim V
long lock - Padlock

Yay, a Grimwerk puzzle
Can somebody confirm if I (at least) understood how is this supposed to be solved?
Every line from the puzzle will give you one letter or number that forms a code and there are two games for the grabs?!
//Looks puzzled at a puzzle...

Nice avatar grimwerk!

Figuring out how the puzzle works is part of the puzzle.

As you've pointed out, there are things you can assume / learn about the puzzle before solving any of the clues. (Note that this is not a confirmation of your specific assumptions.)

Here's the last puzzle I posted:

grimwerk: rabbi's magical mud man
Golem.

Not trying for this, but a little help for others.
Probably won't be close, but I'm intrigued enough to take a guess at the clues....

10 -- Bo Derek
exclude?shun? -- make someone feel left out
I -- self-referential
alien -- strange and unfamiliar

Eye --defining cyclops feature
Empire -- never sets on the British ______
D -- Roman 500
louse -- lice (singular)

I could almost see these as codes, but not the next set 10XIA - IMD(Louse? Taking his last puzzle into account, the first lines could be translated into Deus Ex? Not sure what to do with "I Alien"


Cosby -- Huxtable card game
fortress, castle, vault -- stronghold
garden -- John Lennon's is empty
Day -- 24 hrs

Bill's castle garden today! Minecraft gardening tips coming up on News at 11! LOL

ball -- tinyE keeps one
Goal! Go! (?) -- sustained futbol cry
forgery, fakery, copying -- counterfeiting

---

Jury --- 12 Angry Men
embark -- climb aboard
crematorium, funeral home, furnace, urn -- cremation location
Ivy -- dark green wall-climber

box joint, comb joint, knuckle -- finger joint

Daisy -- give me your answer, do
Skyrim, meme -- he took an arrow to the knee

Has anyone solved this and found the prize? I didn't even work out what to do with the clues, though I enjoyed playing around answering the crossword clues ;)

Heh - maybe that /was/ the game. If so, thanks for a few minutes of fun :)

Nobody has redeemed the game yet, and to my knowledge, nobody has solved the puzzle. So please feel free to keep cracking at it!

Notice how the clues are organized..

Momo1991: No one?
I found it helpful. Maybe your post will get someone else's wheels turning.

Once you (or someone else) figures out what's going on, you'll be confident in that knowledge. That is, there will be an "a-ha!" rather than a "looks like maybe this could be it, I think."

Or so I hope.
I thought I had an a-ha! moment. I was replacing the letters with the first letter you can hear when you pronounce it. basically eye=I. It seemed to be working because I kept getting exactly one repeat for most letters I found. this means the 32 digits would become a codesized 16. There were a few that didnt seem to work out though. I dont know if I was on to something or not but I couldnt figure it out so I decided to post this method here to see if it helps anyone figure this puzzle out.

Redeemed! It was FlatOut.

Thank you, grimwerk! It was a tricky one.

Also, thanks Mono1991, some of your guesses inspired me.

Here are my final answers:

Bo Derek.....................................Ten
make someone feel left out....Alienate
self-referential............................Meta
strange and unfamiliar.............Foreign

defining cyclops feature............Eye
never sets on the British ___...Empire
Roman 500.................................D
lice (singular)..............................Louse

Huxtable card game..................Pinochle
stronghold...................................Fortress
John Lennon's is empty............Garden
24 hrs...........................................Day

Ancient Egyptian vessel............Barque
tinyE keeps one..........................Inn
sustained futbol cry....................Goal
counterfeiting..............................Forgery

---

12 Angry Men..............................Jury
climb aboard...............................Embark
cremation location.....................Pyre
dark green wall-climber ...........Ivy

defeated.......................................Beaten
Elvis rocked it..............................Jailhouse
figure of speech..........................Metaphor
finger joint ...................................Knuckle

give me your answer, do ..........Daisy
he took an arrow to the knee ...Guard
inherent .......................................Innate
long lock ......................................Tress

rabbi's magical mud man ........Golem
rot ..................................................Decay
television cop science ..............Forensics
Xenomorph .................................Alien

---

Then just match up the clues and get rid of similar sounds:

B = Beaten - Ten
8 = Alienate - Alien
4 = Metaphor - Meta
6 = Forensics - Foreign

V = Ivy - Eye
M = Empire - Pyre
K = Decay - D
J = Jailhouse - Louse (yup... J + Louse = Jailhouse)

P = Pinochle - Knuckle
4 = Fortress - Tress
N = Garden - Guard
Z = Daisy - Day

M = Embark - Barque
8 = Innate - Inn
M = Golem - Goal
4 = Forgery - Jury

(proper order is determined by the first list)
