Typing Leonardo gets you past the first five challenges. If you want to do them one by one, then after the Mona Lisa anagram takes you to the fist page (and first letter) where you see a small slip of parchment thet tells you to go to the lobby, click on the lobby link. There you will see Langdon with a description. In the description, "Robert Langdon" is in red and is a link, click on it (second letter). This takes you to the characters page. The characters are numbered, click on them in order (third letter). This will send you to the locales page. You'll see a pentacle faintly in the background, trace it by using your mouse and the white dots at the tips of the pentacle (fourth letter). this should send you to the gallery, find the pentagram on the floor pic, the center is a click-able button (fifth letter). This should take you to the downloads page, from there do the download thingy.

After that (and typing in sion), I am stuck. The North to North link is still a holding page, so maybe we are all stuck until something happens there.

Anybody get further?

I think the message may be "crack DaVinci code" but am not certain how to fill in the rest of the letters at this point.

From another message board is this:

"In an advertisement for the game which has appeared in numerous gaming magazines including Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine June issue) a phrase is clearly visible among the nonsense words written in the background. The phrase is LEGENDARY MAMA. Entering that phrase will reveal another letter in the final puzzle at the bottom."

This give us an "E" in the ninth slot:

VMLZX???E?????C?

This translates (through The Divine Font) to:

CRACK???H?????D?

My favorite guess of "CRACK DA VINCI CODE" is now broken. As there are no more "double marks" in the rest of the phrase, maybe we are indeed looking for an 11 letter word?

Some possible words. Of course, the second word could be an anagram or yet another coded word.

amphiploids
amphiploidy
anthropoids
cephalopoda
cephalopode

fatherhoods
fatherlands
motherhoods

phthalimide
prehominids
siphonopoda

sophie cracks codes

It didn't get me another letter, but another good anagram:
OPUS DEI = OEDIPUS

Yes, and 01 45678 will actually get you DA VINCI. I suspect that the divine font has a role to play yet, but I have no idea what or how.

There is more than one combination of the font that will give you Da Vinci.

D = 0 or F or C
A = 1 or L
V = 4 or P
I = 5 or 8
N = 6
C = 7 or G or V or Z
I = 5 or 8

Okay - any significance to this:

Using 0-9 & A-Z, the Divine Font will not create the letters F,G,P,S,W,X or Y or the numbers 0,1,4,5,6,7 or 8.

It will generate B,H,J,L,N,O,Q,R,U,Z,2 & 3 only once.

It generates A,I,K,M,T,V & 9 twice,

D & E three times,

and C four times.

Can anyone see any patterns in this?

This seems to eliminate "CRACK SOPHIES CODE" as a possible solution since the letters S & P cannot be generated in Divine Font.

Perhaps Divine will generate multiples of the same result so that no Divine letter appears more than once in the puzzle? C has resulted 3 times and one more unique Divine character will generate a C. I know this gets us no closer to actually getting letters placed on the puzzle screen, but w/o clues to proceed with, I guess the only challenge is to figure out the answer before it's 'solvable'.

These are the only alphanumerics available in the font:
AJVINCDEQHMTUKSZOLRB392 -> Note "S" = "B" and "s" = "S"

I find it very curious that "s" is the only character that returns a different result for upper- and lower- case.

all this is very bizarre. And VEROCCHIO gives you another letter too, although there is no obvious clue...

What if the ultimate solution was a sentence starting with the letter "S" where the divine font converts it to "B"?

Also, where do you get these great ideas for clue attempts?

What about a Caesar's Box? Do you think the "Pentagram rewards the fifth" might have anything to do with a Caesar's Box?

"Pentagram rewards the fifth" gives us the fifth letter, or the letter "X" in the answer.

From "SHE" was this:

"If you want to do them one by one, then after the Mona Lisa anagram takes you to the fist page (and first letter) where you see a small slip of parchment thet tells you to go to the lobby, click on the lobby link. There you will see Langdon with a description. In the description, 'Robert Langdon' is in red and is a link, click on it (second letter). This takes you to the characters page. The characters are numbered, click on them in order (third letter). This will send you to the locales page. You'll see a pentacle faintly in the background, trace it by using your mouse and the white dots at the tips of the pentacle (fourth letter). this should send you to the gallery, find the pentagram on the floor pic, the center is a click-able button (fifth letter)."

UPDATE - Where we are now.

These are the shortcut words and phrases to get the letters we know about so far.

DA VINCI or LEONARDO
- VMLZX in the first five spaces
LEGENDARY MAMA
- E in the 9th space
UFFIZI
- D in the 10th space
VEROCCHIO
- U in the 12th space
SION
- C in the 15th space

VMLZX~~~ED~U~~C~

The Divine Font produces:

CRACK~~~HE~K~~D~

Because of the lack of any other "double lines" I think we are still looking for an 11 letter word, perhaps a name.

I'm starting to wonder if possibly that double line is for an apostrophe so maybe the first word is crack's ??
