Road 96 - Date Puzzle. How to Solve It?
Road 96 is an inconspicuous adventure game that has caused problems for many players because of one challenging puzzle. Here you will find out what about its rules and how to solve it.
Road 96 is an inconspicuous adventure game from French studio DigixArt. We play the role of a teenage girl who decides to escape from an authoritarian state on her own. Our adventure will be partly procedurally generated, and the plot will largely depend on the characters we meet along the way.
This sounds interesting, but the game would certainly not have reached such a large audience if it were not for the fact that it became part of the Game Pass library. As a result, the title has received noticeable attention. Unfortunately, this also means that even more people encountered an obstacle in the form of a rather complicated puzzle present in the game.
Here you will find out what it is actually about and what the solution is.
Road 96 - what is the date puzzle all about?
At one point in Road 96, you will encounter two criminal brothers - Stan and Mitch. Later, you will also get to their hideout, where they will reveal their plans.
It turns out that the brothers are trying to find out when the next attack of a serial killer named Jarod will take place. They have acquired some of his notes and personal items, which may help solve the mystery. However, they are not able to do it themselves, so they need your help.
You will complete the sequence by selecting the appropriate date on the calendar standing on the table.
The difficulty of the puzzle lies in the fact that many of the notes contradict each other. In one of them you will find information that Jarod intends to carry out the attack on the birthday of his deceased daughter. Her photo includes the date in question.
However, this would be too simple and is indeed not the correct solution. In another note, Jarod states that he does not intend to desecrate his daughter's birthday. So instead he chooses the day on which she told him that "everything will change."
A clue as to what date he is referring to can be found in a message he received from her. It is a purple piece of paper pinned on the right side of the board above the desk. In it, we can read that "everything will change" in four days.
This message was written on September 5, giving us September 9. The correct date you should point on the calendar is 09.09. Once you select it, the next scene will begin and the plot will move forward.
