The references to mythology are immaculate. For anyone who doesn't understand, Argus was a hundred-eyed monster who was the favorite servant of the Greek goddess Hera, queen of the gods. He was slain by the god Hermes and she turned the monster into the peacock so his eyes would be preserved forever. So the fact that the founder of the Society of Argus named herself Hera is amazing and makes the mythology nerd in my heart very very happy. Edit: I'm honestly shocked that there was nothing at all calling him Zeus or anything like that. Also, that "enchante" at the end gave me absolute chills. Like, so friggin creepy. I love the way this story is evolving.

This series has evolved from solving a beautifully designed puzzle, to directly participating in a well-written fantasy/mystery novel! And this latest chapter or book of the series has moved you from participant to the protagonist! They've written the physical you into the saga! How it must feel, to be moving the parts of the story around you as you manipulate the pieces of these puzzles! Are you destined to be the hero of this adventure? Can hardly wait for the next installment of this delightful story!

[@bigrezznation]

Several things occurred to me watching this... 1. You manage to collect some amazing puzzles! 2. You spend more on this puzzle than I have on every car I ever had combined. 3.

Quick question: have you ever tried solving a puzzle in a video/video series? Its called an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) and they're extremely fun and very deep in detail if you really look. Some of my favorite ones are under a category called analog horror which is basically haunted VHS tapes that you have to decipher in order to get the full story, timeline of events, secrets, and much more. I would really recommend it to anyone. And theres not just horror ARGs, theres a very big one called omega mart thats a physical store you can visit in LA.
