The Da Vinci Code Quest Final Challenge Begins


The Da Vinci Code has been released and the final challenge of the quest has also begun. As the above screenshot shows, if you are one of the 10,000 finalists you have until Sunday at 1:00pm eastern to complete the puzzles. Based on randon searches on the web its looks like the super fast is around 30 minutes and the average playing time is an hour plus so mark off some time. Also remember that once you start you can't stop the timer.

Now it appears that the challenge is made up of five parts, each familar but much harder then the qualifing round. Also, it has no trivia or the like its pure puzzle with few hints. The five parts are:

Symbol (the SuDoKu-like puzzle)
Restoration (tumbleweeds)
Curator (hanging paintings)
Chess
A mix of the observation and geography challenges, with a trailer jigsaw puzzle
