How to Solve a Puzzle
01
EXPLORE
Search for patterns and what appears out of place
Is that a chest I spy in the wood?
The very same I was told I might find by a mysterious scroll we found stuffed into a bottle on the beach...
02
ANALYZE
Discover how these strange details are trying to communicate
The chest contains 7 stone fish numbered
1-7.
The scroll said I must bring the children of treasure home and in exchange they will reveal a secret word that will help us on our quest.
03
SYNTHESIZE
Piece together all clues and details you've collected
I take it these stone fish are the "children of treasure," but where is their home?
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 returning them to water...
04
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
Now how will we use this knowledge?
