" @ vewatkin If you take a flashlight and shine it underneath (most, if not all) the pages throughout the "book" (up close; others at arm's length) you'll begin to notice strange scribblings of numbers, symbolisms, markings, "old english" lettering, etc. I was thinking about inverting... "

" @vewatkin Regarding the 4th paragraph down from the top - (“Somewhere a door slammed…immediately in front of us.”) - in front of us could be construed as IN FRONT OPHIS. Ophis is Greek for "serpent", and may refer to: 1) the constellation Serpens or 2)... "

" @vewatkin Have you noticed that the 'Red Herring' on the front of the book has 7 circular rivets underneath it, which would leave 2 on either side left over. But if you compared this same 'placement' of the red herring over the top of the... "

" Thank you to vewatkin for the clarification. I definitely need to brush up on my Maze knowledge. "

" No, it isn't. That's like saying that because he repeatedly refers to the room at the center of the Maze that anytime he says "room" we should assume he's talking about Room 45. "

" Manson refers to the correct route as "the shortest path" three times in the Directions. It's reasonable to think he might have had PATH in mind as shorthand for "the right way to go." "

" OK, but what if it's "to path" meaning the way to some other path instead? "

" IT DOES NOT MEAN "TO PATH" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WR CAME UP WITH THE TERM "PATH" FOR THAT SPECIFIC SET OF ROOMS DECADES LATER NOTHING IN THE BOOK USES THE TERM "PATH" IN THAT EXCLUSIVE WAY EVERY SET OF ROOMS YOU GO THROUGH... "

" The "to path" anagram seems to make sense. However, I've yet to discover the significance of the man in Room 34. "

" Although they look similar I would say the guy in 16 has a more definitive top hat (perhaps an anagram for "to path") as well as a more format jacket (not an anagram). "

" Has anyone mentioned anything about the man that is seen leaving Room 34 and going into the door to Room 25? He seems to be the same person as the one seen through one of the doors in Room 16. Does he appear anywhere else... "

" Merry Christmas 2017, or, as we say in the Maze community, "Merry Christmas, 33!" (there was no year 0) "

" Someone probably already said this, but it seems like the Guide is misdirecting the group away from room 18, telling them they came in that way. "

" There's also quite a few apples, and the red herring above the entrance although I'm not sure if that counts. "

" And enough birds to have a thanksgiving feast. "

" No food that I can think of - but there is a rabbit and a fire, some salt and pepper, an empty bowl, a table, and at least a picture of a knife and fork. "
