How the hint ladder works
Each puzzle starts with an observation prompt, then a stronger directional hint, then a boundary note. The final layer never pretends that an unreleased solution is known.
When the game launches, solved routes will be replayed, timestamped and separated from preview-era notes. That keeps a useful nudge from turning into made-up certainty.
- Nudge: points your attention without naming the target.
- Direction: connects two verified game systems or landmarks.
- Boundary: states the strongest fact the public evidence supports.
Preview-confirmed puzzle threads
Two interactions have enough public evidence for responsible pre-launch guidance: a looping CRTV image tied to a white house, and a prepaid electricity meter connected to the local newsagent. Use the cards below; more puzzles will appear only after hands-on verification.
