Welcome, treasure seekers! If you ever get stuck during the GoldenHorn 2024 treasure hunt, this page will help you go forward in your quest. You will see that each puzzle has multiple hints, which progressively tell you more on how to solve it. You will also find solutions to all puzzles if you’re really stuck.
Good luck and have fun!
A puzzling revalation
Hint 1
It seems like there are too many puzzle pieces for the complete picture. I wonder what to do with the extras…
Hint 2
Did you check the back side of the puzzle pieces?
SOLUTION
The extra pieces have a letter and number each – the location of your next puzzle: H3.
A merry trip
Hint 1
This map… Didn’t we see it somewhere already since the start of the game?
Hint 2
With so many similar maps, what is the order in which we should read them? Better hurry, the sunlight isn’t going to stay up all day.
Hint 3
The parrot and ship are moving in a peculiar pattern. Should we follow them?
SOLUTION
If you draw lines between the locations of the parrot and ship (each separately) in the correct order (the position of the sun), you get a letter and number – the location of your next puzzle: D9.
Lost whispers
Hint 1
There are words adrift at sea… strolling with you,…
Hint 2
The found whispers will need to be crossed out.
Hint 3
You will need to give your treasure map a good look.
Hint 4
The remaining letters surely form something meaningful?
SOLUTION
After crossing out all the words written on your treasure map, you’re left with the following: “Ahoy, go search inside of C four“, so best you take a peek there next (C4).
The ship
Hint 1
Under the lighthouse roof, next to the ship, you will find there are some coloured blocks.
Hint 2
The order of colours is: yellow, green, red, blue.
Hint 3
The first solution has to be transformed to the hexadecimal number system (this will give you a letter).
Hint 4
If you can’t find something, try to search under the ship as well.
SOLUTION
15 yellow abacus rings – 4 = 11. Transformed to hexadecimal that is B.
0 green slides.
8 red circles.
2 blue cylinders.
The second solution is 7. You can now head to the next puzzle location: B7.
Pattern match
Hint 1
The attached pieces of paper have a very specific border.
Hint 2
The border on some pieces surely must match the pattern.
SOLUTION
If you correctly align two pieces of paper on the pattern, you will see the border of them matches completely. They are: F5.
Aye, aye, Cap’n
Hint 1
What you’re seeing are international maritime signal flags. We hope you know how to read them.
Hint 2
If you are new to reading these flags, perhaps Wikipedia can help you a bit.
Hint 3
Each flag decodes into a letter. Each row forms a word.
SOLUTION
Sarcophagus located inside E7.
