Greetings, Nerds!

It seems we have come across some puzzling info, and we need to figure it out!

If something needs to be solved, what better crew to do it than us nerds? If there is a puzzle that has you scratching your brain, let’s figure it out together!

Feel free to share an image of the puzzle, any clues you think you’ve uncovered, and discuss what you’ve tried and/or your thoughts on how to solve. If you figure it out, don’t spoil the fun for everyone else, let’s just help guide others with a nudge in the right direction.

Now put on your sleuthing hats :woman_detective: and let’s get code cracking!

So, here is our very first mystery to puzzle out. What does it say?!? It’s up to us to figure out this clue, so what do we know so far?

OMG. I finally see it. That page was driving me crazy! Bless you.

I was making that way more complicated than it needed to be.

Where did you find this ominous message? And are these secret messages in the visitor’s center?

Checkout the prompts and there’s a 404 you should look at. I feel like the ones you screenshotted are definitely puzzles!

I have a tendency to do that, too! I just got lucky this time. It jumped out at me.

Thank you. I unintentionally skipped right over that 404.

In that same room, where @Audiobooklover took screenshots, look closely for things that lurk outside. I also feel like the stickers on the door may be a clue but its entirely possible I’m overthinking this.

Well, I guess I don’t qualify for a canoe rental, but now I’m a bit nervous. Especially with @Tapestry’s keen observation on what’s lurking outside the visitor center.

Consistent messaging for sure! And a great theme!

And look at who’s IN the canoe! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I realized after posting that this comment about the guy in the boat might be considered a spoiler so I blurred it.

In Arizona we call him (the guy in the boat) the Mogollon Monster. When I was a kid, he lived under and around the Mogollon Rim. Now there are so many people around, he probably doesn’t live there anymore :cry:

I guess he went away to camp!

Thank you for the hint! Thanks to you, I worked out that message on Thursday. Friday I managed the 404. (I was very proud of myself for typing all that 404 message out while being harassed by a bored 4 year old.) I’ll have to spend some time on the others later today…

I admit I’m stumped. I used to be pretty good at this stuff but apparently the old gray cells, they ain’t what they used to be…

Wait I got it! Go, little gray cells!
