Fallen London Reworks: Mysteries Tab

[color=#cc0099]Once again, we invite you to speculate on the secrets of Fallen London. Some mysteries are easy, others are esoteric, and some have yet to be revealed.

Beginning today at 12:00pm, until 17th July 2018, the Mysteries Tab will return, revived from its close in January 2014. Try your hand at solving new mysteries about our beloved Fallen city.

To participate, find the Mysteries Tab (the final tab on the right) in the browser game, submit your answer for each lore question, and confirm it. You’re free to change an answer as many times as you wish; however, doing so will overwrite your previous response.

The Mysteries Tab will only be available within the browser version of Fallen London, and will not appear in the app. Our apologies for any inconvenience – we’d have liked to add it to both, but the development time required would have made it difficult to justify bringing back the mysteries. Adding them solely to the web version was very quick, because we could just reinstate the old code. Mobile players will still be able to participate and receive prizes if they log in to the browser version to submit their answers.

Some things to keep in mind:

  • there is no penalty for wrong answers[/li][li]your answers can be changed at any time before the 17th of July 2018[/li][li]it’s only the latest answer submitted that will count[/li][li]unlike the previous Mysteries Tab, players will be unable to see random answers submitted by other players

When the Mysteries Tab closes, our rats will review your answers and reward players with special currency for each correct answer. You may then use that currency on new and old rewards.

Happy hunting, delicious friends…[/color]

“The 17th of July? But that’s today!”

looks a little closer

“Oh.”

Ooooooh.

Some can be found in other places (Name the Neathbow), others are more obscure (Who hid the key in the well)

Ohh-hoh-hoh-ho! Now these are some engaging puzzles! I can hazard a moderately confident guess as two of the four London locations… and the mention of the &quotworking man’s friend&quot confirms a long-running theory of mine… but some other questions are fascinatingly revealing in their being asked, even without obvious answers. Who is May?

This is very interesting and shows me how little I know about the game.

Where are the stories about snuffers? I’ve only seen snippets and hints so far.

I will give a hint about who i think May is:

It takes an insane person to look after other insane people

Could the February thing be referring to:

Well, now this is a welcome surprise.

Question for those who were around to solve the previous season of Mysteries: What were the rewards for getting them right last time?

According to the old thread it was 1 fate per correct answer. Doesn’t look like it will be fate this time though, but some currency token separate from it.

Will your rats take into account our Sympathetic about Ratly Concerns as they review our answers and distribute rewards?

[color=#cc0099]That is up to them[/color]

…I have no idea for any of these. DX

I’d ask someone the answers, but I’d feel guilty if I got them right that way due to it not being in the spirit of things. But I want rewards. But I have no idea what the answers are. But the sprit of things. AH!DX

I’d just like to say this is the dopest thing ever. And I definitely didn’t freak out and think the post said it was closing today and rush to give my first round of answers.

OOOOOOOH. It’s time for me to go digging into the lore. This is a fun fun idea.

As a very old player, I have but one thing to say:

YAY!

This is very exciting!

I’m definitely have a blast looking through the various lore and discussing possibilities!

If this was a year ago, I’d be navigating to a certain Candle Blog so fast right now for insights… alas, I have no clue about ANY of the answers, except 2 or 3 colours of the Neathbow. I’ve been playing HOW LONG? And I know nothing.
