This is a puzzle I made in the middle of my ARG obsession, likely when I was 13/14. And... is it just me, or is that poem like, super cool? That's not narcissistic btw bcause I genuinely do not remember writing it, but I can't find it on the internet? AND it supposedly has some sort of hidden code in it?
Which, by the way, I've also forgotten! I can't solve this puzzle! I believe i've found two of the passwords, but the third completely eludes me. If anyone can solve my childhood self's puzzle, i'd be forever grateful. Here are the solutions i've been able to find so far:
Password 1
"Look for the key" means go to the coordinates under the key and see what's there.
What is there is "Key West". Therefore, the key is "West".
Decode the ciphertext with the viginere cipher using the key "West".
"A password for you: Matchstick"
Password 2(?)
The underlined text in the main body spells "ash". Is that a password? idk lmao.
How to access the site
Reverse the url and put it through a ceaser cipher with a shift of 7. Brings you to a google site with a defunct email address.
btw, the email address in the puzzle is absolutely abandoned. Do not email it.
EDIT: DAMN IT I DIDN'T WRITE THIS POEM. fire by Nick Flynn.
This has inspired me to make cooler poems though because wowie thats a cool one. Also, if the poem is related to the puzzle in some way, I no longer have any idea how.
EDIT 2 IMMEDIATELY AFTER: lmao i think I know the third password. Maybe i'm stupid
