Appendix BLANK: Identifying Blank Modules

Somebody at Bomb Corp. got a bit lazy on the graphics.

You may have noticed that there are some modules which (at least initially) appear blank. At first glance, all modules of this variety are indistinguishable*. Follow the instructions below in order to determine what module you are looking at.

* Note: The module Hinges has one or more hinges missing from the module casing, but is otherwise blank.

  1. Select the module (but do not tap on it).
  2. Move the cursor back and forth over the module.
    • If the module has patterns of dots on it, you are looking at Braille.
    • If the module has shapes on it, you are looking at Polygons.
    • If the module has numbers and a shape on it, you are looking at Hidden In Plain Sight.
    • If the module shows a big letter D, you are looking at D.
    • If you hear a tone, you are looking at Deaf Alley.
    • If you hear whirring sounds or a printer-like sound, you are looking at Eavesdropping.
    • If you repeatedly hear “cow”, you are looking at Find The Invisible Cow.
    • If you hear the clicking sound that is played when hovering over a button but do not have any visual feedback, you may be looking at Blind Alley. Follow the instructions on the first page of that manual and press any valid region, then check the next condition.
    • (Skip if the previous condition was false) If the module made any noise or if, upon feeling all of the regions again, anything changes you are looking at Blank Slate. Otherwise, press the rest of the valid regions to solve Blind Alley.
  3. Continued on the next page...

Appendix BLANK: Identifying Blank Modules (cont.)

  1. Press and hold the module.
    • If the module shattered like glass, you are looking at A Mistake. It is safe to release at any time.
    • If the module begins making ticking noises, you are looking at Tap Code. It is safe to release at any time.
    • If the module emits an unusual sound, you are looking at ...?. It is safe to release at any time.
    • If the module makes a button click sound but does not have any visual feedback, you are looking at Module Name. It is safe to release at any time, but the click should be noted down as one press.
    • If two zeroes begin flashing on the module, you are looking at 42. DO NOT RELEASE until that module’s manual instructs you to do so.
    • If three zeroes begin flashing on the module, you are looking at 501. DO NOT RELEASE until that module’s manual instructs you to do so.
