Halloween at the Portal. The Hollow, a haunted cipher maze, is free to play until 2 November. Enter The Hollow

๐Ÿงญ This chain is also a 3D maze

Station Meridian is this same chain as a place you walk through. Each stage is a terminal beside a locked gate, and solving it opens the gate. The maze also hides data fragments with a bonus message you can only get there.

Your progress and score are the same either way, so you can start in one and finish in the other. If you want the maze to be a surprise, start there.

๐Ÿ“œ Briefing
Station Meridian went quiet eleven hours ago. The lights are on, the air is moving, and nobody answers. Whoever was last aboard left their log in pieces, each entry locked with a word from the one before.

Four gates. Each answer gives you what you need for the next, so watch "Keys you hold" at the top of each terminal. The airlocks still cycle on their own: green is open, amber means it is about to shut.
  1. 1 Gate One - The Notice
  2. 2 Gate Two - The Telemetry ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 1's answer
  3. 3 Gate Three - The Order ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 2's answer
  4. 4 Gate Four - The Last Entry ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 3's answer
