How can we solve puzzles
that made of
random clues?
Greetings, our dear friends!
We have been watching you. It’s clear you have talent, but talent is
useless unless you prove it. The world is full of secrets, hidden messages, and puzzles that only clever
people can solve. We are The Secret Society of Young Detectives, and we protect
those secrets!
We have an urgent situation. Our main smart person, the brilliant
Professor Elijah Woods, has GONE MISSING! His last message was mysterious and
full of strange hints. We need fresh eyes to follow his path before his
potentially dangerous research falls into the wrong hands.
You are now ready to join us. If you find the Professor, you will be
allowed to become a member.Your job in this search is one thing, and it is very
important: find Professor Elijah Woods and keep him safe.The Professor did not
leave a map. He left many tricky puzzles.
To win, you must be good at
these three things:
1.Finding Facts (information retrieval): knowing where and how to get the information you
need online.
2.Reading clues (linguistic analysis): understanding tricky hints hidden in English
words and sentences (Professor Woods loved word jokes!).
3.Putting it together (deductive reasoning): using logic to connect small pieces of proof to
figure out where he is now.
THE DETECTIVE’S RULES
Before you start searching in secret places, you must learn the rules.
1. Work
together: help each other! Share
notes about where the Professor might be and what clues you found.
2. Use
your tools: you can use English
dictionaries and translation apps to look up words. But you must do all the
thinking and solving yourself.
3. Follow the path: you must follow the clues in the order he left them.
4. Time limit: you have 5 days to finish this training. Use your time well!
Attention!!!
When you finish checking the evidence, you must send your results to The Secret Society of Young Detectives. If your work is perfect, you will earn a special code word. Remember that code! It’s the key to getting your official detective certificate.
Let's go!
