See: Mine Manhunt for a detailed synopsis.
General
.
A disused mine south-west of Perplex City, Miranda Katsoulis was closely followed there Kurt. Their current location is somewhere in the mines. Also Violet is on route and may have already reached the mines.
- The mine was first suggested as Miranda's destination by Violet, who found out about it by reading all the sign-out logbooks in the Library.
- Violet then discovered that the mine complex contains mineral deposits which stop electrical devices and compasses from working, and that the miners historically overcome this by using a ferrogramatograph. She obtained one from the Museum using her connections (Sente), borrowed Scarlett's car, and took it to Kurt. She also gave us the Silburn-Griggs Historical Society's website address (it is true to style and contains many errors).
- Kurt asked for volunteers to advise him whilst he was in the mines on the afternoon of 21-MAY-06.
- These volunteers would help moderate the event in which Kurt entered the mines. (Mine Manhunt)
- The mine complex is Spec-ed to connect to the Perplex City Catacombs.
The Website
.
The website was divided into six sections (not including the entrance site). The website was full of grammatical and spelling errors which led some to speculate that the site was a decoy of some sort. However hidden within the website were clues that helped to solve puzzles within the mine.
- About the Mines Talks about who opened the mine, how long it has been around, and some information about the miners. Most important is that the miners had their own set of rules & customs and that the mine was abandoned for more than 70 years.
- Campaign Talks about the Camapign to raise funds to clean up the mine and turn it into a tourist attraction. Shows that there have been cases of rockfalls within the mine.
- Traditions Talks about the puzzles and machines that were inside the mind. Many of these puzzles were obstacles for Kurt during is mine exploration.
- Mining Life Talks about mining life. Of note was the mention of a control center which Cube Hunters were able to direct Kurt to.
- Dangers Displayed a song that miners apparently used to sing. Besides being a source of great amusement to Cube Hunters, the song also had many clues hidden inside. This song not only mentioned the dangers of mines but was used as a memory device to remember color codes and initials in order to operate within the mine safely.
- Collection Displayed two maps which were used to help direct Kurt. Prior to Kurt's entrance in the mine, many speculated about what the symbols and markings meant.
