Listen up, adventurers! We all share the same dream here — the vastness of space with its eternal cold and secrets. So go ahead and share how this dream is represented in your daily life ;)
You give us one photo that shows your love of space exploration, our team picks the best photo and gifts the author a Steam key to any single game published by HeroCraft. This photo can demonstrate all sorts of things - starting with a cat named ‘Little Star’ and ending with a tattoo of Mulder and Scully facing the emptiness of Space. It’s your call.
Other than the game, the winner will also receive a Soviet-era styled postcard — from the times when the USA vs USSR Space Race was a big deal. This card will be signed by Pavel Kostin himself, the creator of Odysseus Kosomos.
The winner of this contest will be picked on July 9th, the day the Steam Summer sale ends. Post your photos in the comments below, and let the biggest dreamer win! Do it =)

And the last mystery!
Hello, dear friends! Tomorrow, we will finally release Episode 5 and it means we have one last riddle for you to solve. It’s quite popular and is often used to challenge the players of adventure and horror games like Silent Hill.
It was originally introduced by Albert Einstein, and even today admirers of this particular riddle tend to come up with new variations for it since flexibility is one of its features.
Look for some paper and pencil (the best option when it comes to space and zero gravity!), and get ready to rumble!
There are five cabins in a row, numbered from left to right, each of a different color and inhabited by people of different nationalities, with different pets, drinks and jobs. You are given the following clues:
• The English person lives in the red cabin;
• The Spaniard owns the dog;
• Coffee is drunk in the green cabin;
• The Frenchman drinks tea;
• The green cabin is immediately to the right of the ivory cabin;
• The Engineer owns snails;
• The Captain lives in the yellow cabin;
• Milk is drunk in cabin #3;
• The Norwegian lives in cabin #1;
• The Radioman lives in the cabin next to the man with the fox;
• The Captain lives next to the cabin where the horse is kept;
• The Doctor drinks orange juice;
• The Navigator is Japanese;
• The Norwegian lives next to the blue cabin;
Someone drinks water, who is it?
Someone owns a zebra, who is it?
Penultimate mystery
Hello friends! It’s time for our penultimate riddle. Today, we are dealing with a note from detectives
Sam & Max (hey guys!) who are looking for a criminal. This note serves as a very important piece of evidence which includes the suspect’s location:
ndsshespe
feahtswnig
weofekthe
siatsteherr's.
Interesting fact: you can find a lot of references to Sam & Max (a classic adventure game) throughout all episodes of Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest. Pavel Kostin, the lead developer of Odysseus Kosmos, was inspired by this title while working on his own game.
The fourth riddle - easier about the day off =)
Hello, dear friends! The previous riddle we presented to you yesterday belonged to Samuel Loyd. Even though he lived at the end of 19th, he is still considered as one of the greatest puzzle creators. Throughout his lifetime he has managed to invent and improve thousands of riddles, rebuses, and tangrams.
We bet that Barton would absolutely love to spend 30 years with him on the board of San Francisco, so they could challenge each other with all kinds of puzzles. Oh, by the way, here’s one of Sam’s favorite ones:
Light covers the distance between Sun and Earth in about 8 minutes. If the light would spread instantly, could we see the sunrise on Earth 8 minutes earlier?
Third riddle for you =)
Hello, dear friends! Yesterday, we showed you Dyudeni cryptariff which originates back from 1924. As you could have noticed, the majority of puzzles we are giving you to solve are quite old. They were changed with time by different people and found use in many riddle books and games.
This is exactly the reason why even in times of space travels humanity (impersonated by Odysseus) continues to solve the puzzles that were created a long time ago.
Oh, what do we have here? Another classic riddle! How many glasses are required to stabilize the bottom scales? Please remember, that you can add or remove the items only from the right scale.
Second riddle! Are you ready?
Hello, dear friends — we are ready for our second riddle! Today, we are giving you a simple math based rebus (a certain type of a puzzle which has each number replaced by some particular letter). Barton is able to solve this one in 0.71 seconds, just sayin’. Will you be able to recover the original equation?
Quiz!
Hello, dear friends! Only 7 days left before Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest: Episode 5 is released. What does this mean? It’s time to solve some puzzles and nab a few rewards!
Starting from today, we will be releasing a puzzle to solve - a rebus, a riddle or a charade. Can’t promise they will be simple in any way, but you can expect them to be published on a daily basis at 4:00 PM GMT / 12:00 PM EDT / 7:00 PM (Moscow, Russia) for the following 7 days until Episode 5 is out ;)
The first person to solve the current puzzle (by leaving a reply with the answer in the comments section) will get point. Based on the overall number of participants, we will build a list of most witty ones and gift them with some goodies on the release date.
6 days — 6 riddles to solve, so pay attention and be as quick as possible. Let Lady Luck smile upon you :)
Let’s start with a simple classic puzzle. Move a single match so that the equation below is correct:
