Re: Adventure Challenge

Re: Adventure Challenge

Alas no.

If you understand one of the three pictures your chance of guessing the title is 50%. By the way red is not important.

Re: Adventure Challenge

Ok, sorry if I put the third clue too soon. I was under the impression that the game was loosing momentum and people were getting anxious to get over with it (it's more than a week I think since I've posted the first clue).

Your last one made it quite easy and I had some more ideas with your second clue. Not everyone looks several times ...
