Westeros Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 As predicted, HBO has launched The Maester’s Path, a series of interactive puzzles. This is viral marketing at its finest, from what we can see so far… and also as predicted, the symbols that we and others received are the key to the first puzzle. Feel free to look at them here! Every monday will see a new puzzle, as you work to gain knowledge. We’re guessing that perhaps each week is going to see the “influencers” chosen by HBO possibly receiving a new package with more clues for future puzzles. The site promises “great rewards”... wonder what those might be?Visit the Site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Okay... this is pretty cool. And I'm glad I was on the right track, too, regarding the fact that the symbols in the package would be used in a puzzle!One hint: there are a couple of unique symbols (no duplicates), so line those up first with their appropriate locations, and then puzzle out the rest. Remember, only three symbols for each of the five areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The reward is well worth it! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If you have just two of the locations, you should be able to get the puzzle pretty quickly. I just worked from the ones Ran posted. Not too difficult, but pretty neat.Nice little iconic prize at the end.Anybody get 5 "novices" to follow them yet? I just sent something out to friends. Wondering if you get something else if you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The puzzle is fairly easy to solve if you look at the information about the symbols here on this website (links on the left).Nice little reward for solving it as well, as Smegma says.

Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 No novices for me yet, but I think most people I know (at least those who are interested in this) have already signed up for themselves. I hope that the only difference is that those with the most novices are those who rise highest on the "Acclaimed" list, and not that they get extra snippets or previews.

Ran Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Right now it does sound like just an Acclaim board thing... but given some of the language about "intended for U.S. residents only", there may be some sort of competition at the end.

Brude Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have one novice listed on mine, but I have no idea who it is. I sent it to a few friends and posted it on Facebook. Wonder which of my friends it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If you click on the little head, does it give you any information about who it is? (Or do you just mean that the username is not distinctive enough to be an identifier?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Can someone help me with the reward? I have clicked on it half a dozen times. Was it an audio? (my volume was off) Nothing in my e-mail yet?Where does the reward appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 It's a click-to-play video located just above the phrase "Your nose is wise enough to navigate the stews and septs of Westeros." No email or anything, I don't think - it's just a sneak peek of a previously-unreleased (?) snippet. [This one's between Jon and Arya.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yep, unreleased.And no, the novices seem to stay anonymous. I don't think it's really something where you're supposed to know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why it didn't work the first time, but I redid the test and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
