(I've already named it, YEAH! )

What is this?
In years prior, we have had to decode "languages" (actually ciphers) in order to solve many of the puzzles and unlock the seals. The first year we had an alien script, and last year was an oceanic Atlantean script. (Here's the Atlantean script, since it's likely to come up!)


Now, I don't know for sure if there is necessarily a cipher for the labyrinth, but my gut tells me that there is. So let's get decoding ...

In years past, the symbols on the seals have helped us to start figuring out the cipher. For the trivia seals, the symbols just pertain to whatever book series/TV show/etc. the seal is about, so those won't help us. For the puzzle seals, the symbols are always just puzzle pieces, and I don't think they are relevant. That leaves us with the collection seals. These are new this year, so I think the symbols on these are probably gonna help point in the right direction!

Here they are, for easy reference:
Collection 1:


Collection 2:


Collection 3:


Collection 4:


Collection 5:

(Ignore that there are 3 of each--I just took the symbol image files from the obelisk page, and they have lit and unlit versions!)
