"VOXOLA_RADIO_COMPANY" has 20 characters in total for 20 bars. Assuming the lowest note is C4, which equals the lowest value of 1, so:

1. V (22nd) or A5
2. O (15th) or D5
3. X (24th) or B5
4. O (15th) or D5
5. L (12nd) or B4
6. A (1st) or C4
7. Skip
8. R (18th) or F5
9. A (1st) or C4
10. D (4th) or D#4
11. I (9th) or G#4
12. O (15th) or D5
13. Skip
14. C (3rd) or D4
15. O (15th) or D5
16. M (13th) or C5
17. P (16th) or D#5
18. A (1st) or C4
19. N (14th) or C#5
20. Y (25th) OR IT IS JUST WRONG!! HAHAHAHA!!  USELESS EMPTY BRAIN!!!

At this point just tell us who got close, this went from an interesting ARG to just throwing random stuff at the wall. We don't even get to see what sticks because there are no indicators telling us if we're doing something wrong or correct.

Okay thats this week so we do know we are getting close

I do find kind of funny how probably there has been a handfull of people who got the correct aproach to the puzzle but played the keys wrong ad eventually decided that was not the correct answer, but yeah it would be kind of good if the puzzle itself had a way to tell you you are on the right path.

How was the alchemy puzzle solved anyway, if it counts as solved yet. It seems to have been easy to find the ingredients per potion, but was that trial and error or did it ever tell us something important that was only ever talked about in the discord?

It was mainly bruteforced i think then after that people started to try and figure out some of the values of ingredients that weren't a 100% obvious as to what they contain maybe I'm forgetting something but that's what i remember of it anyways 

[user1464576869]

Well if it is the doorbell combination we are supposed to be looking for, and was really close to finding, I wonder if it's something funny like, you have to insert the code, and then press the door yourself to check if it was correct. And people just haven't been doing that

I just think we are misingterpreting the clues we have, the four loose threads we have are the potions, the 643 note, the bank receipt, and the blinking lights on the day puzzle (maybe the second moon on the night panel that always directs to the dsy puzzle on a specfic vignette), I beleive these are the parts needed to complete the puzzle, probably between them there is a way to get notes, tone etc, i have tried SO MANY convinations, understanding the 643 as space between notes, as tones etc. nothing clickd.

The new clue on the notebook also left me speechless because that left me even more confused as before but oh well, its been fun to check the puzzle every now and then and try to come up with the solution.

Nahhhh, that would super lame, i get its frustrating but i dont want them to just give us the answer, we are close we just need a lttle bit more time

I never said answer, I just said tell us who got close so we have SOMETHING to work with.

The mathematical value consisting of "Square - Triangle - Circle - Spiral - Skull - Germs" is hardly related to any other available clues. For example, the first solution of the alchemy puzzle, consisting of the precisely defined value of each ingredient, has an accurate total value of:

• Square 10
• Triangle 8
• Circle 3
• Spiral 12
• Skull 3
• Germs 0

Again, hardly any clues in the puzzle describe this mathematical value, and that's just one solution out of five. Does anyone know how to solve the puzzle without brute-forcing it? So, which clue was used to solve the five alchemy solutions? Perhaps that specific clue could be eliminated from solving the music phone puzzle, so we can know precisely which clue is related to which puzzle, assuming we don't need to use clues more than once.

The book has a list of ingredients, each with X number of symbols. Last page shows an IV drip with its own set of symbols that each must be within, above, or below a certain threshold (8-10 Squares, 9-10 Triangles, 12+ Spirals, 3+ Circles, <3 Skulls, and <8 Amoeba).

The puzzle was to combine the ingredients in a way that matches the IV drip's requirements.

Using the basic clues from the book you can create the first potion, the rest require experimenting to figure out what works. Some call it guessing or brute forcing, but I really like that puzzle and thought the experimenting was neat.

I wished they just tried that combination I wrote earlier. Now ill try myself.

So, there's a couple of ideas I have with the |1|2|7|5| slip that I think might be getting close

Idea 1: It means that the notes we play are 1, 2, 7, 5, and something else
        This makes the most sense given the stamp, but would leave a lot of open space that should probably be filled with notes
        It also makes more sense with the 6 4 3 note because it can be interpreted as 6 notes, with 4 and above being down and 3 and below being up

Idea 2: It means that we play 1 note, skip, 2 notes, skip, 7 notes, skip, and 5 notes
        This makes less sense relative to the stamp but would make more sense given the amount of space we're given for notes

I'm also curious how other people have been interpreting the 6 4 3 note-- I've been seeing it as keeping the lever down for notes 4 and above, and up for notes 3 and below (though I have no clue how the 6 fits into this interpretation for my second idea for the buckeye banking note.

"6" and "4 with underline" are on the same level, while "3 with overline" is peculiar. Well, the hint is "4 slots + something". I tried many combinations of "1 2 7 5 + 643" using the following assumption.

Simply put, 6 (A) & 4 (G#) should be within the same octave, whether high or low. And they would always be the opposite octave of 3 (F#). Importantly, I think "643" is a chord or multiple notes at the same bar/beat. I am not a musician, so I don't know what chord is made of F# G# A. In the end, nothing worked. The note is probably for whatever puzzle is behind that door.

It is the other potions that I was really confused about, since the book only shows us the requirements for one IV? Right? But so people just assumed there was more combinations to make from the empty slots? And actually did find whatever values they needed to be made? If that's what you mean and what happened then doesn't that mean that we didn't really need to know the values of each ingredient when sussing out all the other potions? did we? Or does the IV requirement fit ALL the potions inside it? They all fall within the same requirements?

Made an account just for this, but: 

 

Clicking on this page makes Wagstaff blink.

Maybe this could be used to input Morse code of some kind? I feel like they wouldn't have added it if it wasn't anything.

The successful potions appear to fit within the IV requirements. Discovering the values of each ingredient increases the confidence that you would have a correct solution so swapping 1-2 ingredients would likely work.

Figuring out the alchemy values on the mixing ingredients has been a ton of fun to work through. I may have made some mistakes or false assumptions, but I believe the final real values of the ingredients are as follows:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

  Reveal hidden contents

My interest in these values is that I believe they may help with the door puzzle. I have tried a few variations already with the 643 note, with my main assumption being that the note refers to the bells like this:

  Reveal hidden contents

I have tried numbering the 12 mixable ingredients in the order they appear in the book, followed by numbering the alchemy values in the order they appear in the book, then playing the 6,4,3 values for each ingredient on 12 individual beats. Maybe my numbers are wrong, or the way I input them was wrong, but this was the incorrect answer. My biggest problem is that I don't have a good theory on how many beats should be played.

I've also wondered if there is subtle clues elsewhere than the notes, like maybe this picture refers to the spiral alchemy value in some special way:

  Reveal hidden contents

I can gladly show more of my notes if people want to check my numbers or solution. I just think it is highly suspicious that these alchemy ingredients have confusing values and wonder if the reason we are stuck on the door puzzle was because we didn't understand enough of its parallel puzzle.

In a puzzle sense, the fact that the potions went into fixed positions on the rack could mean one would play 5 chords in the order based on what was provided. That does not make much sense in context, sounds a bit too complex to be "trivial" and does not take the unused clues into account.

Hi, @nome 👋

Will there be any signs indicating that the puzzle has been solved? For example, will the puzzle become inactive, will an additional event occur, or will part of the image be updated (the door will open)? Or, after solving the puzzle, will you need to guess where else to click?

Thanks for your response 🙌
