" Unless you want to go extra steps to get circles from a tree, but what would be the point? "

" ohhh wait But I think it's just a bunch of circular stuff to clue zero. "

" True, you could easily say "33 is the FINAL destination because there are multiple rhymes in here, the path leads TO 33!" We just know how to exit the loop, so we want all clues to get us there. "

" I think it's unnecessary, and often strained, to interpret connections as pointing in the "right" direction. I know I'm a broken record on this, but I don't think we have any good reason to think that rooms off the path contain clues to lead you... "

" I found something that closely resembles the baseball in room 23, the stickman in room 3, the claw in room 14, and the lamp in room 7. "

" I think the flagon and wagon were placed here to get us thinking about "agon" rhymes/word endings, which lead to 3, and then to 18, the correct path. This COULD be done in reverse from 18 to 3 to 33, but the in-room "agon" rhyme... "

" Oh, right... But I don't know if that helps the inquiry, or harms it. "

" A drawn hand CAN actually clue you into an 8, especially when observed from a deck of playing cards or when aboard a ship (all hands on deck). And a clue, is a part, of a sail. Regarding the fire head STOP sign: the stop... "

" There was NOT explicit direction to look for letters. There is instruction to look for the answer to the Riddle of the Maze somewhere along the 16-step path--although what it actually holds is a clue to the answer to the riddle. The directions were not... "

" Could there be a riddle of the loop? Or a riddle of the center of the loop? Was the path riddle only put there because of the publishers wanting a competion? Would that rule out other interconnected letter hunts like the one on the path?... "

" “Bough” is another possible connection. Guess I should be putting these in Interconnectivity... "

" Looks like he’s trying to fly... must be Icarus. "

" The common gesture for "stop" is holding your arm out toward the recipient of the gesture, keeping the hand open and flat with fingers together, and showing your palm with your fingers pointed upward and your hand perpendicular to your arm. Small variations on this... "

" Maybe one hand is STOP and the other one is POTS. "

" I know (though I don't really think so because two hands are up), but a piece of evidence he used was "hands have 8 sides like a stop sign." This makes no sense because, similarly to the postquam/stop thing, if hands did have 8 sides,... "

" Well, WBM is still wrong, but that wasn't exactly what he was saying. He was implying that the hand was a clue to stop, which it could theoretically be since holding up an open palm does mean stop in most language's gesture libraries. "

" Nobody draws a hand to clue the number 8. "

" Hmm, some of this makes sense to me? I really like the missing bow thing, haha. "

" Oh, now I see what you're saying. Ah, well... I guess I'm going to be focusing on these rooms for a while, it feels like one of the core areas without a solid explanation (there's the stuff in the path and the stuff in the... "

" Haha, there was a famous violinist called Ole Bull. Stepping away from Google now. "

" A bow is also part of a key. "

" The bow of the ship in 34, the doll's bow in 41... "

" I just learned that the top bit of a violin, which kind of looks like the tops of the columns here (upside-down), is called a scroll. That connects perhaps with the bit of paper hanging in the door to 13. (And the scroll in Room... "

" I didn't mean to suggest this isn't significant! There's definitely a parallel structure going on here, I just don't know what it means. "

" The hand pointing out with the fingers and palm reaching upwards might be a visual synonym, which could signify a reinterpretation of the word stop, halt, etc. Plus the hand, fingers, and the bottom (a byss) of the palm included, have a total of 8... "

" I plotted it out and it looks decent thoooooooooughhhhh "

" What are we still uncertain about in this room? There's the backdrop weirdness, but is there anything else- the STOP and herring themes? "

" I don't think this theory is structurally faulty but it just looks for something where it isn't. The chairs could also be making A's "

" Tell me a single stop sign that DOESN'T have 8 sides. Every stop sign can be rearranged to "post" and translated so every stop sign in the word is hiding this secret according to this logic. (Except for the secret hexagonal stop signs in Room... "

" Nope, don't suppose that at all. "

" Now I'm sad. ;-; "

" You’re welcome "

" nope "

" You don’t suppose that there could be any further possible theories, regarding the Latin translation of the word POST and the number of sides on the posted stop design? The Latin translation of POST via google translate, is AFTER THE or POSTQUAM, both of which... "

" My only hangup on the room 33 key is that it has a rectangular head. All the other keys are drawn with a circular head, and a rectangular head doesn't really make any sense with the 3-room diagram we've been doing. "

" WOAH, WAIT A SECOND- There's key symbolism is this area- room 33. "

" Also, we have noticed a connection between these rooms. It seems like some of the objects between them rhyme, specifically between the rooms you pointed out. Wow, the exit is right where 24 would be! I'm set that even if this area is not a... "
