434= pg 4 word 34 or pg 34 word 4
498= pg 4 word 98 or pg 49 word 8
177= page 1 word 77 or page 17 word 7
561= page 5 word 61 or page 56 word 1

this is a classic code. There was one like this in one of my Nancy Drew books i read as a kid.

I guess we can roll with that for now, and see what we get in the books tomorrow. Try all the possibilities.

Hopefully I won’t leave to get stuff for a friends birthday party before 10, I would like to help a bit

So… as @Eaves would say… you guys sorta murdered that. Great work. (Also, this puzzle was probably a lot harder in 1986 sans Google.)

It’s changed. Not just how it looks, but I swear there are some new options, and the “you got it wrong” ending is different too. Before it was just like “Incorrect, refresh the page and try again” but now it says “you have reached the end of the forest” and sends you back to the book of briars main page.

The numbers could be Page, Paragraph, Word as well, thats pretty common… Although I am hesitant about 177… First pages don’t really have a lot of print on them
