10-11-2022 - updated the colours in the tile matching puzzle to be more colourblind friendly.

10-11-2022 - I've heard reports that the lights on game doesn't properly detect completion on some browsers. I can't reproduce it on edge, chrome, or firefox on windows, or chrome and firefox on linux. One person said that zooming in or out can fix it, so please try this. Worst case scenario, right click on the purple button and delete the element, this will reveal the clickable button underneath.

step 1:

hintlook for inconsistencies, and click on 'em!
solution click the screw in the bottom left corner, then click the hole just below the "blackle mori 2022" line

step 2:

hintturn on all the lights
solution this is the classic lights out puzzle, except instead of turning off lights, you need to turn them on. you can follow this guide to solve the puzzle, just invert the light-on-edness of all the instructions.

step 3:

hintonce you solve the sudoku puzzle, consider where the numbers in the circled cells could go...
solution completing the sudoku puzzle gives the code 61644, enter this into the combination lock on the top right

step 4:

hintalso called picross, nonograms can be tricky. try to get most of the left side done before moving onto the right
solution this is how the nonogram will look when solved:

step 5:

hintpretty much the same as step 3. try your best!
solution completing the sudoku puzzle gives the code 94427

step 6:

hinttry to figure out which tiles have to go in the corners first. this will whittle down the possibilities for where the rest of the tiles can go.
solution the completed tile matching puzzle looks like this:

in reply to @blackle's post:

RIP, but understandable, thank you for at least considering it. At least I was able to brute force the first one and make a passable resemblance with my desk whiteboard for the second.

incredibly impressive, super well done!

i'm a bit of a nonogram-purist and don't like having to look ahead/guess, but the puzzle was small enough that it wasn't really an issue anyway. also don't want to detract from the incredible feat this entire thing is, i'm just a picross nerd. amazing work

I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean by "look ahead/guess", but I definitely solved the nonogram by only filling in things i could prove until I was done, I never made a provisional move and then backtracked when I hit a contradiction.

hard to talk about it without images to help but there's a point in the puzzle where you have to use what people call "edge logic", which involves mentally marking spaces on an edge and seeing what its effect would be on the rest of the puzzle, i.e. looking ahead.

i removed my markings and did it again from scratch to see if i'd hit the same point again and i did, but it's certainly possible there's something i missed if you say you never had to make a provisional move.

I also had to backtrack and I banged my head against that point for like 15 minutes before deciding to just guess and backtrack. I'd love to know what I was missing, considering that I consider myself a pretty advanced nonogram solver.

yeah i also tried to solve this like a sudoku where you only do what you can prove without provisional moves (there it's called "bifurcation," as in, cell X can be one of 2 values, and you're mapping out which value will lead to a solution). not my preference, but still, awesome work on the puzzle

how. how. oh yeah, i'm going to do some cycling slider things using magic. and implement win detection somehow - i guess this is probably by making the win state having all the details closed so it can reveal the button or something.

and then i'm going to implement that game using the css blend mode filters. and somehow implement win detection on this. i don't even have the slightest clue. how. how even. how. how.

i'm still not done yet. this is amazing

I had more trouble than I should have with the edge match puzzle just because of the lack of space to maneuver the pieces in.

I still don't know how I solved the lights out puzzle - I managed to get it to 8-way symmetry which should have reduced the problem a lot (and managed all lights off a couple times) but then kept getting stuck cycling between the same few states. Then somehow solved it after breaking symmetry to only diagonal.

Aside from the nonogram requiring guesswork as far as I can tell (which usually isn't too bad if you can tell what it's supposed to look like, but in this case I still don't actually know what the image I made is supposed to be aside from a neat-looking geometric pattern), this is really great! I'm still being blown away by all the CSS wizardry people are pulling off on here.
(Also I greatly appreciate the top-middle part of the final reward ❤️)

Ah, my bad! I'm admittedly not the best at nonograms, so it makes sense that it'd just be me not knowing/remembering a necessary strategy rather than there actually being something wrong with the nonogram (admittedly it's been a hot minute since I did one, and I've never been particularly skilled at the few Picross games I've played, especially the "no timer, but no automatic corrections when you make a mistake" puzzles). In that case then I have no complaints! Great work!

for some reason the lights puzzle doesn't seem to correctly reach a "solved" state for me whether i turn on all the lights or turn them off, even after refreshing and trying both multiple times in two different browsers. i found a way to trick it early on and kept going to the end w/ no issues, but i could never manage to get the button to light up normally...

but this was a lot of fun!! i love having the opportunity to copy some sudokus to pen & paper for solving

Vivaldi 5.5.2805.42 64-bit which is the latest; i even checked with ublock origin off to be sure it wasn't an obscure script being blocked somehow. only other browser i have is Edge (also up to date) and had the same issue

i'm on windows 10 also up to date (version 22H2)

The sudokus are juuuust barely simple enough that I managed to get the codes out without writing anything down. I feel like two sudokus was too many, but then on the other hand, despite being a little annoying, I do feel proud of myself for having overcome them without assistance, so maybe it was a good design after all? :D

Anyway, as everyone else has already said: wow.

this is incredible even if I had to draw out a sudoku square by myself lmao (it's fine, I got to use cool markers). also the way I rolled up my sleeves for the nonogram, 200 hours of picross this year alone prepared me

this worked in Edge after I went to your page and zoomed out a bit! the Lights On puzzle didn't seem to work right and gave me "solved" at the wrong state (without filling the whole square above it), but everything else worked fine! this was incredible, thank you!

Oh a multiply mask is a great solution!

When I was first working on it I tried a bit to carefully design some on and off images that would’ve worked with inversion but I didn’t put much effort into it and decided I cared about the logic more.

that was so impossibly satisfying I have spent the last ... time on it - and have had to look up both the light puzzle and how nonagrams actually work, which was incredibly fun. Also, the dork that I am used excel as sudoku scratchpads. Amazing work

Took me about an hour but I got there, had to cheat and look at the answer on the nonogram because despite finding a solution, then putting all the info into a solver online and getting the same solution I found it still wasn't right for some reason.
