The Hypatia - A Puzzling Space Mystery

There are 25 rooms in this puzzle experience. Each room contains a chapter of the story and a downloadable page of puzzles that you can print and solve. Some of the puzzles may not be solvable until you unlock other rooms and collect more clues. When you think you have an answer, type your guess into the answer box on this website. If it is correct, it will unlock a new room. If you get stuck, you can get hints.

The Map

Once you solve the first puzzle, you will have access to the map. The map will be updated to reflect which rooms you have unlocked. Click on any room to travel there and read that chapter of the story. Most rooms contain additional puzzles, but some rooms only have a piece of the story. There is a main quest, several side quests and many secrets to unlock throughout the experience. Your progress will be displayed on the map and in the sidebar. If you see lines on the map that don't lead to a box, that means you haven't discovered that room yet and still have a puzzle left to solve in the room that the lines comes from.

The Rooms

Each room will contain a chapter of the ongoing mystery for you to read. Many of the rooms will also contain puzzles that you can download, print and solve. When you have an answer, you can type it into the "Check Answer" section and see if you got it right. If you did, the next room will be unlocked. If you guessed incorrectly, you will have to wait 10 mins to try another guess. Some rooms will have more than one path leading away from them. These rooms will have multiple puzzles to solve and the answer box will accept multiple answers.
