So... we finished the mystery yesterday and, I have to say, I was pretty happy with how everything came out. I think we managed to solve all puzzles except for one that is seemingly unsolvable right now... the third bingo card Other then that, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what kind of online content they post on the bonus page.

Could just be a red herring I too have gotten gibberish out of that by using all the tiles or just the five that make bingo. I'm still convinced there is a secret puzzle in The intro letter from Alfred written in morse code. The high and unique use of -, :, ..., and ! make me think this. Unfortunately, splitting by either paragraph, line, or using comma as separator all yield gibberish.

Which one? I ended up with a legible message from each of the three bingo cards. I, too, enjoyed this very much and look forward to the next two cases!

Rob, for the Bingo card marked March 2, a number of us can’t figure out the method that creates a legible message. Could you post your method in a spoiler tag? It certainly doesn’t seem to work the same way as the other two bingo cards do.

It certainly doesn’t seem to work the same way as the other two bingo cards do. Regarding the three bingo cards: One has unique tiles that can fill only it. The other two cards have some identical spaces and a specified tile can go on either card. I solved it by filling one of those two cards completely and using the remaining tiles on the last card. If you don't have enough tiles for the last card, fill the other one first Additionally, Two cards have nine tiles, the third has seven.

Rob, thanks very much. I won't have time to try it until later tonight, but I greatly appreciate it!

Still waiting. As those of you have completed it know, There is supposed to be a website with additional documents and information about the case. When I finished the case over a month ago, the website said "coming soon". Last week STILL nothing. By the time they get around to doing it...the details of the game will be so lost to me that I won't care.

I don't know how to hide a spoiler so... Spoiler alert! . . . . . The bingo cards are transposition ciphers.
The first says:
"A. I must have Lexiko. Please acquire it for me. Boss."
The second says:
"Sorry Boss. Acquisition failed. Someone else got there first. A."
The third says:
"If no prototype, get me its inventor. Will be just like old times."

Thank you! How do you do that? Sure thing. When you're writing a post, you should see a bar above the text box with various icons; the one on the very far right should look like a face with a finger over the mouth. All you need to do is highlight the text you want to hide behind a spoiler and then click the button of the face over the mouth, and voila!

SInce they appear to have deleted the armchairdetective.com website, does anyone have a screengrab of the reset instructions?
