" I think that the only clue in the text to the room 45, apart from the obvious, is the following: -“Amphorae,” I pronounced; empty, of course. Because apart from sand, the amphorae also contais the number 45 (see image on the door). In order to... "

" There are exactly 42 words in the quotes in the text. "

" I think it's probably nonsense. Ten years ago we had a very different view about Maze, and thought we knew a lot more about how it worked, and I went down a lot of wild paths with too much credulity. "

" I am actually very found of the am-four-ee theory you talk about. The text reinforeces the idea that the guide didn't want to give them the 4 that is inside the amphorae. "I pronounced empty, of course (Those little brats allways solving my puzzles!)" I... "

" He was a user from years ago, who had a similar manner of creating arithmetical interpretations of the text. He has come back a couple times under different names (although typically just slightly altered versions of Thail Krider). "

" Dont know either. Maybe because the whole mouth is bright and the bars are inside the mouth, so the shadows are not casted away from the fireplace. In any case shadws play an important role in the picture for sure. The shadow of the chair...... "

" Solution to door 15 can be found in the text. (Little bit of a stretch). After finding nunber 29 in the "A sound" paragraph. The maze offers the children a new clue when: "Faint voices came down [from] one of the corridors." In my opinion,... "

" No idea who Thail Krider is lol "

" Hi, I’ve just heard of this for the first time today and I am incredibly interested in owning a physical copy of the book, does anybody know a good place to find one? I can’t find any legit listings online. "

" I think you're onto something with figurative expressions. The rope connects the column to Room 18 and forms the number 9 within its shape. Room 18 also features a bowling pin and a bass clef that resembles a 9. These elements seem to frame Room... "

" There’s an interesting interplay with shadows in this room that I don’t think has been fully explored. For example, the shadow of the hat and firewood in the lower left corner resembles an umbrella pointing toward Room 13. The “handle” also looks like a musical... "

" Thail Krider, is that you? "

" John Bailey ran a Maze website/mailing list twenty-some years ago. White Raven is the creator of Into The Abyss. There is no solution guide. Manson seems to prefer not to resolve these mysteries. Take everything suggested as a solution with an appropriate grain of salt "

" The correct door (29) can be found by paying attention to the story text. As in previous rooms, the door can be solved with sounds, letters and double meanings. Narrator says "A sound made them all turn suddenly" pointing to the sound of letter "A".... "

" The text says "Leaving the room and all that IT contained behind us, we entered…". If you examine the room I only found 10 fruITs and 3 exITs. Then, it means that the children left 10 fruits, 3 exits and the room 30 behind. ->... "

" Hi! I just came into this book and I ve been reading and proposing my ideas. Who are John Bailey and WR that seem to are a reference in this topic? Is there any official solution guide provided by Manson or something similar apart from... "

" The text say the children hold their ears (E-R). The first time children speak, they use ER three times: "hERe", "vERy", "eithER". = 3. The second time children speak, they use no ERs. =0. Resulting in door 30, of course. When children finished talking and... "

" I like the idea of looking for representations of figurative expressions in the book's imagery. This specific context seems like it would be an odd place, and an odd door, to evoke being at the end of your rope, but it might be that rooms... "

" It's just a matter of the permissions White Raven got from Manson. This website isn't intended to replace the book itself, so it doesn't feature high-quality reproductions of every image. But Manson was kind enough to give WR permission to put everything you see on... "

" You mean the round shape/square stuff? Do you find that to be a convincing read of the room, or are you accepting that suggestion because it's written up there? There are a lot of different views on these things, and very little that is definitively... "

" Looked, but not found. We've tried anagrams, rhymes, single letter changes...easy to find disparate inter-room connections, but we've found nothing that seems like an extended path. Have you found anything promising? "

" It has always bothered me how the two "bars" to the fireplace never cast a shadow. Don't know if it means anything. "

" Can you expound on the devil clues you found? There certainly seems to be imagery and language suggestive of it, but I wonder what you've found. "

" I'm not familiar with Satan as a cherub. Where does that come from? The cherub is sometimes depicted as a weird monster with bull features, but I'm not seeing it used as a synonym for "bull." Can you share your sources? "

" This room has GOT to have a solution about *forebears*. "

" Something I wonder is how trustworthy our guide really is. Sure, they can tell us general clues, but whenever they point out specific doors, they turn out to be incorrect. Can someone make some kinda tally on how many times the Guide tells the truth... "

" I wouldn't say impossible. Finding the path is tricky, but you might want to get a new perspective on some certain rooms. If all else fails, try thinking a little laterally, but don't overthink it. Trying to look in every room for every clue might... "

" it's ironic that Door 24 is open, because if you're in this room, you can't escape the trap, and therefore, you'll have to open Door 24 at some point, leading to your doom... assuming you don't just automatically restart as soon as you get in... "

" I have two questions. First question: why are your books so hard to find? Second question: do you sell any of your original artwork? Thank you I hope you have a nice day. "

" I came upon this book very recently. I "thought" the guide was the devil. There seemed to be a variety of clues (in my mind) that suggested it. BUT, I must admit that I failed to see a lot of the clues that everyone pointed... "

" Sorry if this has been suggested before, but has anyone looked for a thread of anagram-based words along the shortest route of the loop, similar to that of the "Riddle of the Path"- a "Riddle of the Loop"? The rooms being 1-21-44-18-13-25-34-10-41 Perhaps even a... "

" The theme of chain and rope suggest hopeless situation, e.g "end of rope". However, rope leading to room 18 suggests there is hope if one "grab the rope". Meanwhile, chain near room 21 suggests there is no way to go. "

" I admittedly have often wondered why the header banners seem such a different resolution than the full page scans. "

" I have for some years now linked the two in my mind! I don't think I ever really discussed it here because I wasn't sure it was relevant. "

" While I get that Minotaur is the final answer, to me? That's just the next clue. His identity is "minotaur of the maze", or "minotaur of the world". Who's the minotaur of the world, there's no minotaur on Earth... is there? It's funny to note... "

" Minotaur is quite pleased with 14 new humans) "

" I think you're "asterion" us in the right direction "

" The letter ornaments are vowels. 42 (fortytwo) is the only number to only contain the ornament vowels. fortytwo (O, O) thirtyfour (I, O, U) five (I, E) fifteen (I, E, E) "

" Another way to get 2 from the tree, there are 10 apples and 5 branches (representing division). [Although it is a bit hard to tell if I have this right... the picture at the top might have 6 branches, but the picture in the middle... "

" Has anyone read "The House of Asterion" by Jorge Luis Borges? I recently discovered this website and I was exploring the Ephemera section thinking the first thing I would see recommended was that short story, but nope (maybe it is and I didn't saw it... "

" So 5 years noone post here... Anyway: 1) count all the objects drawn in the book which appeared at least one time 2) catalogue all them 3) write an essay on the done work .... "

" And then there's his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl. "

" It seems as though no one has suggested the Minotaur's cousin, Larry. Larry doesn't like the taste of humans that the Minotaur does as his diet is mostly keto proteins, fats, and fibres, nor does he have a social media account making it very hard... "

" Right, and the non-existent bull heads found in every corner of the book, implicated by nonsensical, incomplete trails of unrelated symbols. "
