There are several levels, once you clear a level, you will be directed to the next. In each level, clues will be hidden in the web page itself. All you need to do is to find clues, and the answer that relates all the clues and enter the answer in the input box provided.

Rules:

  • Submit the correct answer to proceed to the next level.

  • Bonus points will be awarded to the person who solves the clues first.

  • Players will be ranked based on points they score.

  • Daily prizes will be given for the person who reaches the specified level first (based on time) on that day.

  • Points are calculated as follows : 
    • Solving a level (till level 50) awards the player with 200 points.
    • The first player to crack a level gets bonus points. Everyone else gets the base 200 points only.
    • Levels 51+ don’t award bonus points when solved first, but instead offer 400 points to every player who solves them.
    • Bonus points are awarded as follows :
      Level 0             : No bonus points
      Level 1 - 20      : 10 bonus points
      Level 21 - 30    : 20 bonus points
      Level 31 - 40    : 30 bonus points
      Level 41 - 50    : 50 bonus points
