![]() ![]() Instead, it’s more just us picking out the single game out of the week’s releases that we think is the most noteworthy, surprising, interesting, or really any other hard to describe quality that makes it worth having if you were just going to pick up one. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn’t necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the highest scoring game in a review, the game with the best graphics, or really any other quantifiable “best" thing. If you’d like to take part, head over to Touch Arcade and share any coordinates you’ve found, or see if there’s one near you! We still don’t know just what all this madness will unlock in the end, but the trip is half the fun.The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Land Sliders is a true adventure, and now it’s a real one as well. ![]() We got butterflies just from typing that. The result is a massive, world-wide scavenger hunt that requires players to collaborate and share both in-game and real life experiences with each other. They then created hints to finding those solutions and scattered them about the game world itself. To solve this puzzle, they placed pieces of the solution on individual USB sticks and had developers and friends around the globe hide them in real world locations. Land sliders game secrets code#What this seems to mean, all taken together: developer Prettygreat devised an encrypted puzzle in-game that requires a complex code to solve. And, even better: shortly after discovery, forum user flenser found a similar USB stick containing a nearly identical image-except with a different sunburst symbol. If you’ve been playing Land Sliders, that symbol may look familiar: it’s part of the other outstanding puzzle in the game, the “Restricted” keypad that appears if you stand on the sunbursts that occasionally pop up in-world. On the USB drive was a single image containing what appears to be a mash-up of Land Sliders characters into an abstract background, as well as a single symbol. Twitter user (or actually, her father) visited one set of coordinates and discovered a bag with a USB stick and a note from developer George Broussard. The first results of these trips are being reported back on via Twitter and the TA forum thread, and they are exhilarating. Meanwhile, other Land Sliders explorers were also making these connections, and trekking out to the coordinates they lived near. Players in the Touch Arcade forums (including some Land Sliders fans from Gamezebo) began sharing these coordinates and figuring out the real-world locations they represented, which ranged from cities in Australia to a park in San Francisco to a bridge in Istanbul. One of these mysterious objects is a stone tablet containing latitude and longitude coordinates, along with some sort of hint-such as “rock,” “pipe,” or “look up.” There are many different such tablets in the game, and stumbling across them-as well as which coordinates you receive-seems random. Thanks to our friends over at Touch Arcade and their clever community, those solutions are finally being pieced together. Some of these objects have clear uses in-game, while others contained hints or puzzles with no apparent solution. Players who have spent enough time in the Land Sliders world have undoubtedly come across some strange stone architecture. Now, we don’t feel so bad about being in the dark-turns out at least two of those secrets require teamwork on a global scale in order to solve. In our review of recent arcade obsession Land Sliders, we praised the game for being something bigger than just its spectacular gameplay and characters: it is a true adventure, packed with puzzles and secrets we were still trying to unravel. ![]()
