NBC’s Treasure Hunters: Challenge #7

I’m not as quick on the uptake this week, but I’ve finally got the solu­tion for this week’s chal­lenge. Again if you don’t want to read any spoil­ers; stop read­ing here and now!

  1. Click in the lower right of the screen to enter the graveyard.
  2. In the grave­yard, click the tomb­stone clos­est, on the right-hand side, to the Rock­e­feller crypt.
  3. When Wash­ing­ton Irving’s tomb­stone pulls up, click towards the base of the stone on the right, to get the key.
  4. Go back to the church.
  5. Use the key to open the door.
  6. Go into the church.
  7. On your right, just below the win­dow, there is a box of matches. Click and take them.
  8. Click on the can­de­labra. Next you have to get all the can­dles lit, but click­ing on one can­dle will light sev­eral of them and can extin­guish oth­ers. I’m label­ing the can­dles from left to right, start­ing at the top and work­ing down as A — D/1 — 4. I.e. the can­dle in the upper left cor­ner would be A1, while the one in the lower right would be D4. Click the can­dles in this order:
    1. D1
    2. A1
    3. C3
    4. B3
    5. C4
    6. B4

    If that’s not clear enough for you, try read­ing these instruc­tions over at NBCTreasureHunters.com.

  9. Exit the church.
  10. Go back into the grave­yard and enter Rockefeller’s crypt (the gate should now be open).
  11. Inside the crypt.
  12. Go right.
  13. Jump across the small gap to the globe.
  14. On the globe, move your mouse until the key shows: 37° N, 77° W.
  15. Click on that loca­tion to get the 2nd Gen­er­worth Finan­cial Insur­ance Policy
  16. Then go left and down.
  17. Then go left and down again.
  18. Then right and right again.
  19. Then up, slightly to the right and up again.
  20. Then right, down, slightly left and down again.
  21. Click on the level.
  22. Click on the chain to put it in your backpack.
  23. Then up, up, left, up, slightly left, up, right, up.
  24. Run left, left and jump at the last sec­ond. This is the only way to get across the long jump.
  25. Left, down, down, left and into the door.
  26. Click and take the book.
  27. Then return to the globe: up, left, up, right, down, right, right, down, right, down, left, down, left, left, up, right and up.
  28. On the globe, move your mouse until the key shows: 42° N, 80° W.
  29. Click on your back­pack and take out the chain.
  30. Click on the back of the pickup truck. Click­ing near the top of the tail­gate worked for me on my 4th (maybe 5th) time through after clos­ing my browser and start­ing over from scratch.
  31. Once the chain is attached, click the truck again and it will pull the trailer for­ward reveal­ing a door.
  32. Click on the door to open it.
  33. Click in the door­way to go inside.
  34. Click on the table to zoom in.
  35. Click on the table drawer to get this week’s puz­zle piece.

NOTE: Some peo­ple online have reported hav­ing trou­ble get­ting and/or using the chain. If this hap­pens to you; it sounds like your only option is to com­pletely exit your browser and try it all over again. I didn’t have any prob­lems get­ting the chain, but I’m on my 4th maybe 5th time run­ning through the chal­lenge try­ing to use the chain.

Rumor: Accord­ing to an IRC chan­nel I was hang­ing out on; if you enter “the library of con­gress” (with­out the quo­ta­tion marks) as your guess for the loca­tion to the final trea­sure, you will get an entry form to be one of the 10 peo­ple going on the final episode. Unfor­tu­nately when I tried that myself, all I got was…

*sigh* And $200,000 would buy such a nice house in my area of the country. ;)

    Hi, I am hav­ing a prob­lem solv­ing the final puz­zle. Can you please tell me the order of the wheels from the star cutout? I have been lin­ing them up as fol­lows: “feather sym­bol”, sun, door with “c”, book, arrow. I also tried it with the sun first and added the hands in the mid­dle with the sec­ond door at the end. I can­not get it to work. Please help! Thanks!
