Full spoilers ahead. Hint 1 gives a nudge, Hint 2 narrows the route, and Full Solution reveals the commands and outcome.

Your mission

Two goals run in parallel: collect treasures and solve puzzles to raise your rank, then help Professor Cassandra Eaton complete her time experiment. The main mission asks you to reboot TARDIS, recover the Kyber crystal, build a light saber, reveal the laser clue, power Cassie's quantum console, and follow the Lost Lodge, Lancelot, and Aslan clues to their conclusion.

  • Reboot TARDIS
  • Recover the Kyber crystal
  • Build a light saber
  • Activate the hidden laser
  • Stabilize Cassie's experiment
  • Complete the time-travel sequence

There are 22 treasures worth 2 points each. The mission score can reach 107; completing the ending doubles the possible total to 214.

01 — ENTRYGet into Quotient Headquarters

Begin at the Security Checkpoint. Open the mailbox and take its leaflet, then follow the lane toward headquarters. The corn maze is available to explore but is not required immediately.

Hint 1
Check the mailbox before leaving. Once inside the grounds, explore the kitchen and keep portable supplies.
Hint 2
The kitchen has Rediwhip, bread, and a paring knife. Rediwhip counts as a treasure. Continue around the grounds toward the Fire Pit.

At headquarters, collect useful kitchen items. At the Fire Pit, take the TARDIS Communicator and examine it. Ask TARDIS about Martin, Cassie, and entanglement. Explore inside, find Martin in the hallway, and ask about the mission. Take the cold suit when you encounter it.

02 — HIDDEN ROUTEOpen the secret passage

The Old Cellar hides a route into the cornfield. Two old paint cans provide the trigger; the passage is dark until you find a light source.

Hint 1
Inspect the shelves and the two cans in the Old Cellar. Try interacting with the cans together.
Hint 2
The opening leads into a dark passage. Follow the connected cornfield path toward the Cemetery.
Full Solution

03 — OXFORDRead the puzzle clue and locate the pendant

Oxford holds treasures and two clues that become important later: the password to Cassie's console and Lancelot's pendant.

Hint 1
Use the Spyglass on the completed jigsaw. In the VR meditation area, meditate and treat the resulting phrase as an anagram.
Hint 2
The puzzle code is 48151623. “THE OLDEST LOG” rearranges to the console password. Look behind the Sheldonian tapestry.
Full Solution

At the Clarendon Building, take and read the paper. In Duke Humfrey's Library, take the paperback. At the Sheldonian Theatre, look under the throne for the graduation program and read it. At the Turf Tavern, take the Pimm's. In Cassie's VR Lab, take the VR suit, enter the metaverse, and take the Yoga Mat in the meditation area. Meditate; “THE OLDEST LOG” is an anagram of THE LOST LODGE. Use BLINK to leave the metaverse.

With the Spyglass, examine the completed jigsaw to read code 48151623. At the Sheldonian, look behind the tapestry; take the pendant and wear it for the time-travel sequence.

04 — SPACEReboot TARDIS

Reach the Spaceport and take the rocket to the TARDIS docking area. The jigsaw code opens the way in.

05 — WASHINGTON, D.C.Reveal the hidden laser clue
