Stuck on Level 19...how far is everyone else?


Been staring at 18 for too long.


Solve the anagrams


Stuck on step 8. I found the secret message but I can't figure out what to do with it.

Edit: Doh! I analyzed it too deeply when it was staring me in the face.


What I don't understand is that there is no Step 9. I jumped straight to step 10. Did I miss something ?

edit : there is no step 12 also. But at the end of step 11 one's can read "You must be pretty tired though, so maybe it's time to go home and get some well-deserved rest."

so resting must be the step 12 hehe


Same here. Been trying everything since I found the message 30 minutes ago.


There's a secret word...look at the first letters of each line. Go there and look carefully at anything visual.


Thanks, I kept thinking it would be in the source somewhere!


gah its down


Damn. I thought the fact that it was down was part of the puzzle despite how silly that seems now.


anyone have any sort of cache or mirror or hint.. sucks to stall out on a database connection error..


Also stuck there =(


I'm stuck on 13, any hints? Edit: The Haiku one.


me too. I'm stuck on the haiku one.


Did you know there was a haiku contest a while back in the Dropbox forums?


got it. hint: haiku contest hint 2: japanese


Hmm...I seem to have found step 17 from step 14.


Sounds like you're in the lead. Go go rkudeshi!


I wish...someone tweeted about an hour ago that they finished the entire thing!

Now I'm stuck on 21 and I swear it involves the Dropbox Wiki, but I can't find anything...


Hint: you can sync up and collaborate with Dropbox :)


Stuck on level 1... haha


me too. bjf??


Tip: It's not BJF. Translate again.


got it!
