I'm going to play through Bioshock again.  Fourth time will be a charm.

I'm really excited that it seems that there is going to be a more Andrew Ryan in the game.  I would have actually like for Bioshock 2 to be a prequel, although I dont really see how it could have been.

Well multiplayer is a prequel. It takes place 1 year before BioShock occurs so everything looks nice and pristine. You take sides (Atlus or Ryan) and start the battles that brought us to where we are now.

Read more about it in OXM issue #100.

Okay, looking back at the website, they updated it to be like they have at Comicon. I saw the box with the lights and could not for the life of me crack. Then the box with the moving buttons... Wtf? And don't get me started on the locked box.

Any help here?

The lunch box looking thing you need to align the proper symbol in each circle. It is the little girls birthday.

The jewelry box with lights you need to press each new light that pops up (up to about 25 of them) and it starts to get tricky when there are a lot of lights as to which is new (I used a dry erase marker on my monitor to mark them off after I pushed each one)

The cube you need to move all the symbols into the middle in a certain order.


All answers can be found in the BioShock forums and even unfiction.com.

Birthday? For me it was the three symbols (letters) that were different on the lunchbox vs. the wheels... Only one symbol on each wheel (not sure which is correct, but there are three differences - one per wheel) was different from the symbols on the lunchbox. Once you know the alphabet (each wheel is the alphabet, in order - the letter A is the circle with the X through it, then go clockwise for the rest), you can read the repeating phrase on the lunch box.

Rather than marking up your monitor, try a piece of paper. My printer paper worked great and even allowed me to see my mouse under the paper. Just make a mark on the paper. Worked great.

Now what do with the the inside... Well that one is still escaping me... 10 colums. 10 times and co-ordinates for the sigthings. 3 rows... Time, Latitude, Longitude. But what order? Is it a musical piece? Nobody knows... Yet!  

For the cube, again you need to know the secret phrase (and alphabet), which in this case is "RED QUEEN", one letter repeats itself, so it a bit of a trick to know the right order (red (might look like orange), yellow, green). Remove the letters in that order and the cube opens.

Dagda et al, I'm not sure what I was thinking with the comment about the "different symbol"... I was told by a friend to use "I C F" (yeah, actual spoiler combo there) and they claimed to figure it out by such a method. But I've gone back now and unless it's been just one too many rum and Cokes, I don't see how the described method worked. I've been going through the archive, and did not see a birthday, but I sure would like know what the combo means (3 letters, three rows in the new puzzle - coincidence?), and if it is a birthday, well where did it come from and what does it mean?
