NOTE: This competition has ended.
Buoyed by the popularity of our last competition, I wanted to create something equally awesome for this, our latest one. I think it’s quite cool, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Let me break it down for you. It’s the late 15th century, and you are a happy-go-lucky chap in the beautiful city of Florence. It’s pay day and you have joined the lads at the local piazza. Whilst enjoying your drink, you notice a sultry bird a couple of tables across, and you saunter over for look. The conversation starts politely, but quickly turn flirtatious, and before you know it you’re inviting her back to your place for “a cup of tea, and a lie down”.
She has an even better idea – there’s more fun to be had at her place where her equally beautiful sister wants in on the action. There is a slight complication – her house is guarded by the most fiercest dog in all Tuscany, capable of tearing a man limb from limb in mere minutes. However, the uttering the correct password renders the mutt as meek as a lamb. Before you can ask what the password is, she stuffs a parchment into your shirt pocket, and rushes off. Scanning the parchment, you realize it is a puzzle that, once decoded, could result in a night of pleasure…
Considering the title of the post, I’m sure you have worked out that the prize is not a lusty threesome, but something much sweeter. Courtesy of Ubisoft, we’re giving away two copies of the universally acclaimed Assassin’s Creed II* (one for the PS3, and one for Xbox 360) and we’ve thrown in some kit too. To snag one of the prizes, you will need to solve a puzzle of sorts. Find all the details after the jump.
