Pitfall Harry's Contest of Doom

It looks like you've identified the bogus clue, huh?

Well done!

Really?

 

I expected Thomas would be the one to figure it out.  Oh, well.

You overestimate my English knowledge by far. Maybe I even saw that while using that anagram Server, but I wouldn't have recognized it. :)

 

The White Letters are Everywhere!

That's a real one!

 

UPDATE: I found the missing games (thanks!).

 

Now I wonder how tricky you have to think... :ponder:

But man... I'm at a complete loss as to what to do next. I've even taken the puzzle into Photoshop to apply masks to the names, colors, and so forth. But I'm getting nowhere with it now.

@Thomas - I AM English & you still have found more clues than I have!

 

I give up, Ben your competition has beaten me utterly (and I really would have liked that boxed Room of Doom). So barring divine intervention, I cannot imagine that I will solve this puzzle, I "dock my cap to you" :)

I don't think that's a new clue at all, since well all knew the "THEREISMORE" hint already.

 

In his last big contest Ben did the same, often giving away clues that most people already knew. He obviously followed a strict plan, no matter how far the contestants got already. This was often very confusing, but now I (we!) know better. :)

 

I hope that helps.

I'm just relieved that I didn't get up this morning to discover Thomas had won the contest! :wink:  

 

I still have a chance!  (Right... :roll: )

Don't worry! :)

 

This one is an open (and most likely very long) race. And I'm sure that I'm definitely not in the leading position, since I am completely stuck with all clues. :sad:

 

BTW: I wonder where last contest's winner Jeffy Arensmeyer is. :ponder: :)

There is a pattern in the clue though, for whatever that's worth.
