Congrats to BryanT! The MW Diamond Scroll #2 has been solved. He will receive the second Numbered MW crystal diamond, signed book of Higher and Higher, 1979 Stop Thief board game, and a copy of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.
Thank you all who participated! I know many of you were very close to discovering the answer.
The second diamond slumbered at the:
SLEEPY HOLLOW CEMETERY GATE ENTRANCE. (although you did NOT go to location)
This was solved by noticing the diamonds on the counter in Jewelry Room 2 of the board, hinted by being Diamond Scroll #2, and starting at the number 45 Red Crime Space in front. From there Bryan followed the poem, through the window, cross the floor, and out the door – to another ‘page’ on the MysteriousWritings website.
The page to go to was given by the number space out the door. It could have been either Left or Right. It was Left for 7-05 or July 5th.
Searching the archives for MW posts of July 5, the first year you’d come to having a post on either of the dates 7/5 or 7/3 would have been 7-05 of 2018. The archives are in a button on the bottom Left of the website.
Plugging in the numbers on the Scroll would yield the answer. The numbers related to letter count. The question marks were missing numbers, filled in by the board space numbers, and applied where needed. They gave: Sleepy Hollow Cemetery Gate Entrance.
Congrats again to Bryan who put the final pieces together! I hope you enjoy the game with your family! It is a fun game of deduction.
So now, MW Diamond Scroll #1 and #2 have been solved.
