Puzzles!
March 12, 2007 – 9:50 am
Some of you may recall the exciting contest we held around the beginning of this season. The prizes up for grabs were the wonderful Lost Puzzles created by TDC Games. The first three puzzles had three themes: the first was The hatch, the second was the others, and the third was the numbers. We gave away one of each in our fan film contest (we’ve been meaning to show those winning entries for a while… but before I digress, lets get back on topic). I’ve heard that these puzzles were quite challenging to put together because they do not come with an image of the completed puzzle.
In the time since our contest was completed the fourth and final puzzle in the series has been released. This one is called “Before the Crash” and as you guessed, it features events and connections our favorite Lost characters experienced before the crash.
As people began to solve these puzzles they discovered something very interesting, something that I was not even aware of. If you have all 4 puzzles, correctly assembled, turned upside-down, aligned properly, and under black light (or in a dark room after being exposed to bright light) the blast door map is visible! I am a big fan of the blast door map as you may already know.
So there’s another reason to go out and put together your own collection of these puzzles. If you’d like to get your hands on these puzzles you can purchase them by clicking one of the links below. And keep a look out, there may be another contest coming up!

I tried to make a pic of the backside of the puzzle, because it was really hard to see in the dark. With some Photoshop editing, this is what I could make of it:
Also, if you like the hatch map, in the last official Lost podcast they mentioned that in one of the upcoming Lost magazine a hatchmap poster is included. Too bad I can’t get the magazine in Holland..

Hello all! This is my first post, and I recently joined. I already knew of this and am the one who told Rob and Steve about the map on the puzzles. This is a wonderful discovery and is also great because it’s in English. Your welcome!

Yes, thank you Brad for letting us know about the blast door map on the back.

Unfortunately, I only have the first 3 so I haven’t seen the whole thing. But, does it really work with a black light? I have only used the ceiling light in my room.

I assume it does cause things that glow in the dark usually react to black light, and since the real map was created that way it only makes sense that these would do the same.

Ok well I’ll try that then! It should be easier than my way!

Well I tied the black light but didn’t really work. Also, I know what the purpose of the Arrow is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is on the back of the Hatch puzzle. Continue if you wish too know
The purpose is to restock the other hatches.
