KlueLess

One of the most amazing online puzzle games I have seen. KlueLess was designed for the IIM-I festival called 'iris' and the contest ended with the festival way back in November, but I guess the website has been kept alive because of the response. The puzzle even showed up on NDTV proft.

Here is the link in any case: http://www.iimi-iris.com/iris/irising/klueLESS/

You have to think of EVERYTHING while solving the game. Look closely at the URL, the title of the picture on the page (right click + properties), the text that shows up in the title bar and even the HTML source coding of the web page (this only in the thirteenth level). Scry (a suitable term from the new wannabe mythology) for the details EVERYWHERE in the page. Ignore or overlook NOTHING.

I have hit the dead end at level 13. I know this is a stupid thing to do, but I just want to take a note. If you are going to solve the puzzle, or even try, stop reading right here, because I am going to post the answers to the level I have crossed so far.

Level 1: Got stuck here. Didn't know what to do or where to click. The first page itself told me how difficult the puzzle would be. I just let my mouse explore the picture, and a hyperlink showed up over the gate. So click on the gate.

Level 2: Simpler than level 1, just click on the text that flashes as soon as it does.

Level 3: Just the name of the fest. Type in 'iris'

Level 4: The title bar had 'guess', and the url had 'style', so I thought it had got something to do with Jeans, till I typed in the name of company founded for top-gun pilots, the manufacturer of ubercool and ubercostly shades, ray-ba.

Level 5: Replace the text "usethisspace" with the word "cobain" in the url on the address bar.

Level 6: didn't recognize the stupid boomer tatoo creature as satan, but what the hell, type in 666 and proceed.

Level 7: Probably the most difficult one so far. Also, as the level claims, perhaps the simplest. Because we expect an elaborate deception, we overlook the simplicity of the level, making it particularly difficult. Will get you stuck for a long time, till you just try level8 out of desperation. Stil didn't get it?
Go there.
Till didn't get it?
Fucking etard, type '8' instead of '7' after 'level' in the url.

Level 8: Use a handbook or the net to translate the morse on the road. username/password = metal/pixel.

Level 9: Something for the fans of the Da Vinci code. The fibonacci sequence shows up, and the text is an anagram for leonardo. Leonardo is the answer. Put in leonardo instead of texttwist in the url.

Level 10: First type in level10.jpg in the url because the picture shows up with a level9.jpg for some reason. You see the Audi symbol, and therefore change the url to audi.asp.

Level 11: The login/password is shown below the keyboard. Just superimpose it on a normal keyboard, and the login/password that emerges is fifth/quint.

Level 12: Will stump the shit out of you. You need to interpret the picture in the correct manner. Would have been better if they had just put another picture of Satan or an eagle in the picture. The username/password is hotel/california.

Am on level 13 now. Will see if I can solve any further. But am going to Lonavala tomorrow, so I donno.
