Any Tips on How to Solve the Treasure Clues?
Yes, in the Six Questions with the creators they offered these suggestions:
Quill: Each puzzle and hunt has its own personality and style, but they do involve educating yourself on creative ways to encode information and give clues. Explore as many as possible. I personally feel the more a hunt entertains you and gives you a fun ride, the better. Hopefully, The Bookshop will do that for readers.
Compass: Each hunt is different. If the hunt is part of a book, read the book through first without the hunt in mind. Then go back and read it again with a treasure hunting mind. I like to organize the clues in a spreadsheet and then try to find the connections.
Shadow: Hmmm, what can one say? I think a puzzle is only as good as the hints it holds. I like paper and pencil.
