You, or one person from your group, orders the game online and enters their name and birthdate as the game can be personalised to you! A nice touch! You will be emailed a very attractive pink PDF file, of which you will need to print a couple of the pages if you can. You may need scissors, glue/tape as well as the document.
Hints and puzzle solutions are available on the Past Lives website and you will also need to use the internet via links in the document to access and research some things. The ultimate solution you will need is a number which you enter into a page on the website to confirm. You can then call the number (if you’re in the US) and hear a recorded message!
The introductory page is a small puzzle in itself and has a very clever additional resource to help you complete it. There are just 4 solutions you will need to find, but each one is made up of several smaller puzzles, so plenty to work on! Each solution is coded with a colour/shape so you know which of the puzzles relate to which. There are codes, jigsaw type puzzles, origami/3d manipulation, hidden messages, logic based puzzles and more!

From the makers of the brilliant digital "Science Splice" game comes another whimsical and humorous adventure in print-n-cut format this time. If you’re into quirky lighthearted games, romance, astrology or even dinosaurs - this has something for everyone!
For just a small donation this is a fun way to spend an hour puzzling with friends - hats off to the University of Southern California students!
