Happy Thanksgiving from the Portal. The Gathering, a harvest cipher maze, is free to play until 30 November. Enter The Gathering

๐Ÿงญ This chain is also a 3D maze

The Pale Churchyard 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
You arrive at the old churchyard just after midnight, when the moon sits high and the fog hangs low between the stone walls. The caretaker vanished last autumn, and the village says he left notes for anyone brave enough to look.

Now candles flicker on their own along the paths, and pale ghosts drift past without a sound. Each gate ahead holds a message he hid among the graves, and the last one waits at the very center of the maze.
  1. 1 Gate One - The Rusted Lychgate
  2. 2 Gate Two - The Weeping Angel ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 1's answer
  3. 3 Gate Three - The Dead Oak ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 2's answer
