    Those look like 2 very special mystery boxes, to this day I still don't think Blue understood the box he got.

    So does anyone other than Dasraiser know how to 'lift' and decode the image overlaid on these box pics?

    So...

    I see three unique chests. Two of them seem to have script on top of them.

    The first one would have been free to open, the second two locked with wax.

    It also appears as if ANBA got his beard stuck in the wax of the chest on the right in the second image

    I've searched every aspect of these images for anything that might stick out. (then hidden mostly useless stuff in a spoiler tag)

    Spoiler:  Show
    I think the names of the files are just random titles assigned by the hosting site. (Though The RealTeeHill getting "Italian Art and Archaeology" from the second image is almost too interesting to just write off.)

    The dimensions are a tad non-standard. First image is 1022x1024 (possibly a manual phone crop attempting a squarish shape). The second image is 1024x765. So even though I'm writing all this up, I'm also ruling out any significance by suggesting that the images were sized at n x 1024 then cropped.

    I've tried tearing these images down in different ways and come to the conclusion that what is being shown here is pretty close to face value.

    What I'm saying is, there doesn't seem to be any tricks. No hidden images. These are quite literally at least three small chests.

    So now that I've set myself free of trying to find a hidden message embedded within the actual images themselves, I feel as lost as the first time I saw the pictures.

    Besides the fact that the first had no wax, then the second two have wax... I think there may be something to get from the writing on the top of the two that (semi)clearly have script on top of them.

    The script on top though, seems incomplete and unreadable (well, mostly unreadable) though I can make out some letters. I did a pretty lengthy comparison between the chests and the only other link in Trials Evolution; The Voynich Manuscript. I failed to see any similarity though, as they are different "languages."


    After all of this I have one thought:

    We are first being shown one chest, symbolic for what we have opened. Then we are shown two most chests, "soft locked" with a suggested connection to the first chest.

    The next step I would conclude, is to determine which egg is suggested here by the use of the images on top of the chests.

    Sadly, if this requires anything beyond the base game, I can't help with in game searches.

    (sorry about the lengthy post here, I felt it somewhat necessary to go through my failed investigations)

    Lol, green writing in the egg thread and the usual crew turn up

    May I add that I will be 99% disappointed with Fusion if there is no riddle... No matter how good it is in all other aspects

    Seems quite possible, and perhaps some alterations have been made to the images...?



    Here's quick and sloppy attempt at reshaping the two lids with script on them to what I assume to be the right side up.

    Doesnt seem to be Voynich. There is still Lucretius...and Sir Francis Bacon that come to mind. Or maybe its something new and undiscovered. BTW: francis bacon was very passionate about encription and decription, he even developed his own cipher method. Plain text is translated into a new unrelated text using a binary alphabet. Zero's and one's are hinted by the use of capital (0) or plain letters (1).

    Ifthisthenthat: the first picture posted by Anba has an overlay, are you able to separate those 2 images? After all, this all started with the line: very soon in fixed pattern encodes! Has anyone made progress on this? Most relevant information I have been able to find is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder
