The "Hacker" Challenge Game

You don't have to be a real hacker to attempt this, but having a technical mind helps.

<hint: You progress through the puzzle by directly browsing to the next page in the address bar using the clues in the current page>

congrats :-)

Musi, what's the clue that you're stuck on?

[musi]

Musi, what's the clue that you're stuck on?


where it says "buchanan" on the page. maybe it requires some knowledge of a thing i have no idea of? :) cause all i've found is that buchanan is a surname and also are a few cities in America. that doesn't seem to help :)

[apostasy]

buchanan was the 15th US president. :-)

[musi]

buchanan was the 15th US president. :-)

hehe.. see, i told you it is some thing i don't know :) as a non-American i haven't got a clue which president was which :)

[musi]

tada! i did it! :) took me long, really. but i really like challenges like that. if you know of any more, do post the addresses, apostasy :)

[apostasy]

Congrats Musi. That was a hit in the lab where I work.

We're a group of twenty something (mostly)males...we don't often elevate our entertainment to that high intellectual standard. But next time we have such a challenge, I'll certainly repost it here.

At number 13 the screen just turns black, is that right or did I do something wrong?

Oh, and the hint for sept helped as well, I also thought of French for seven first. Too bad I read the thread before I started the game.

It's right. I can't give out any hints though. :D

[OneHotPrice]

I am currently stuck on page 17 "10001"

[OneHotPrice]

Okay . . . I got that one . . . . now I am on 21 and just wondering how far it goes?

[vierdreieins]

GAH. I'm stuck on twelve!

This is an awesome game.

OH. I get it. Nevermind. :p

[person?]

acht?
maybe I'm just dumb.

NVM german i got it.

[skye]

I'm still stuck with 13, maybe it's just me, but I really don't know what a black screen has to do with 13.

[person?]

^Im thinking it might be friday the 13th or black friday. im stuck on it too

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
I got it now!

[eflo]

I'm still stuck with 13, maybe it's just me, but I really don't know what a black screen has to do with 13.
Do you want a hint?

[person?]

Yay I won!

[skye]

Do you want a hint?

Yes

[musi]

Yes

if i remember correctly, you should press your left mouse button in the left top corner of the screen, hold it and drag it to the right bottom corner (sorry, i have no idea, how to say it correctly in English, but try that, it should work) :)

Sometimes opportunities to procrastinate just show up, I don't even have to look for them...I do admit I needed some clues for a few of them, but I did get there.
