Escape Mail season 1: episode 4 HINTS

Bold Letters (SMALL HINT)↓

Can you not already tell? The bold letters - a message they spell.

Bold Letters (Big Hint)↓

Write down each bold letter and find something more. It will tell you a secret for the quote on page four.

Bold Letters (ANSWER)↓

“Sound out the first word of each line of the quote on page four"

Boarding Pass/Page Four (SMALL HINT)↓

Now look closer at what is not there. Perhaps a light source will make you aware.

Boarding Pass/Page Four (Medium Hint)↓

Look through page four to start doing better. Punch a hole in the boarding pass on the right letter.

Boarding Pass/Page Four (Big Hint)↓

Page four and five, plus some light, tell you which hole punch is right. Now with the boarding pass properly aligned, two numbers are revealed before your eyes.

Boarding Pass/Page Four (ANSWER)↓

SOLUTION: Put the boarding pass, with holes punched above the two "L"s on top of the photo page of the passport. Align the thin lines at the top of the boarding pass with the thin lines at the top of the photo page and you should see 2 - #### - 6.

Barcodes (SMALL HINT)↓

If you fancy yourself a sage, you’ll find a piece of me on each page.

Barcodes (Big Hint)↓

Like pages of a book, fan the passport slightly. You’ll see four numbers if you hold it tightly.

Barcodes (ANSWER)↓

"#-7461-#"

Mad Gab (SMALL HINT)↓

If you need a little hint, don’t be too proud - all you must do is read certain words aloud!

Mad Gab (BIG HINT)↓

Take the first word of each line, and say it clearly. A new sound will form, resembling its nearly.

Mad Gab (Answer)↓

"Remove the staples and assemble the map."

Stamps and Map (Small Hint)↓

Assemble the map, and remove all the staples. It’s time for you to turn the tables. Hans Nilsen made many stops. Within each continent, connect the dots.

Stamps and Map (Big Hint)↓

You will see that colors are very important. Chronological order will be your informant. Only four continents will be lettered or numbered. Go clockwise on the envelope, or else be encumbered.

Stamps and Map (Answer)↓

Notice that the locations labeled on the map in the passport match the visa stamps. If you connect the dots between the locations that share the same colour stamps (same continent) in the order of the date traveled, you will see either a letter or number appear. The order these are entered into the Safety Deposit Box can be seen by looking at the sticker on the envelope. Africa = 7, Europe = 3, South America = C, Asia = Z.

Perspective (Small Hint)↓

Trick your eyes and see anew, look at the page while it’s quite askew.

Perspective (Big Hint)↓

If it’s the password you’re trying to wrangle, hold up the passport and view from an angle.

Perspective (Answer)↓

SOLUTION: When you hold the passport open to page 17, flip it upside down, and view it on an extreme angle, you see the words "bird name backwards". The featured bird in the passport is a raven so your password is: "NEVAR".
