Puzzles may involve deciphering cryptic words and numbers,

or applying knowledge you have gathered along your quest.
Puzzles have one possible solution,
but that does not mean there aren't multiple paths to get there!
Puzzles might solve to a code, a key, or other item that helps complete your quest and story.

How to Solve a Puzzle
1
EXPLORE
Search for patterns and what appears out of place...
At the start of the trail we found a scroll... it told us we would find 4 boxes hidden in this wood that together would reveal a powerful spell...
2
ANALYZE & COMMUNICATE
Discover how these strange details are trying to communicate...
The first chest contains 7 stone fish numbered 1-7.
What could this mean?
3
SYNTHESIZE & COLLABORATE
Piece together all clues and details you've collected...
Our adventure happens to be following a wild river and, from what I know about fish, they can't be out of water for long. Perhaps I should try getting them wet!
4
EVALUATE
Determine what do to with all that you have collected...
Once wet, each stone reveals a letter!
Order the stones from 1 to 7 and a word emerges: RAINBOW
