It says you’ll just get access to 50 more puzzles, so where’s the fun in that if you can’t solve the first one? 🙂

Is this the start of the adventure?

The one where you ask a question I cannot parse, and in my lexically-challenged stupour I take a triple left and end up tumbling down a rabbit-hole?

Been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt, owned the franchise, went bankrupt, sued the franchiser,…

…the pass word is _eat me_.

There’s two clues on the site. The [first](http://www.puzzleadventure.com/general/clue1.jpg) one shows 2 tiles in place and the [second](http://www.puzzleadventure.com/general/clue2.jpg) shows five tiles. I can’t help any more than that because I don’t have the puzzle.

**Q.E.D** showed you the clues, and you can get instructions on what you’re supposed to do here: [http://www.puzzleadventure.com/general/instruct.html](http://www.puzzleadventure.com/general/instruct.html)

I imagine that if you have all the tiles you should be able to solve the puzzle – even trial and error would do it, after a while. 🙂 It’s hard to say anything more without having the tiles themselves.

Solution to this puzzle here: [Internet Puzzle - Album on Imgur](https://imgur.com/a/rDl4O)

A few things:

1. Even with rotations accounted for, there’s actually 24 different unique solutions. Some of the tiles can be swapped around. Not sure if the puzzle’s author was aware of this. He undoubtedly knew it was “hard”.

2. The website to enter the password for any given solution is offline and long been defunct.

3. I wrote a computer program to solve the puzzle. You can find the code that will print all solutions out here: [GitHub - jselbie/PuzzleSolver: Code that I wrote to solve the Lagoon Internet Puzzle Adventure: Valley of the Kings](https://github.com/jselbie/PuzzleSolver)
