Story
Hours after defeating Nihilanth, Gordon Freeman remained lost in the other world known as Xen. As time passed, and rations ran low, Freeman ran into a room filled with humming teleporters. He didn’t know which one to choose, so he stepped into one and was transported back to the Black Mesa Facility.
He found a room full of scientists who were screaming about being trapped, and being doomed. They wanted to head to the surface, but were afraid of the military’s blockade.
Bravely, Gordon Freeman once again stepped forward and headed out into the miliary over-run facility. As he made his way through the halls, his eye caught a strangely lit room. Inside was what looked like a miniature replica of ancient Egypt.
Inside the room, suddenly the walls started shaking. The miniature replica sank into the floor. A hidden trap door opened, and Freeman fell through. He found himself in an underground cavern filled with Xenian monsters and pitfalls.
The Black Mesa Facility was still under attack. Military still roamed the areas in and around the facility. Freeman would have to go through another grueling battle with the military, and fight for his life through the Egyptian lands he found.
It was all mixed together..the facility and the Egyptian lands; a conundrum of sorts…and once again, Gordon Freeman was stuck right in the middle of it.

Conundrum is one of those mods that is ‘fun.’ It challenges you with puzzles, and to move on, you must figure them out, one by one. However, once you’ve beat the game, only after a long while can you come back and play it again because, well, you know the answers to the puzzles already. This is a good mod though. I like puzzles, and this one serves them up a plenty. It reminds me of the part in HL when you get to the big crane section, and you look to the left, and wonder, ‘How am I gonna get there to that door?’
Then you look up and see the crates floating above you, and say, ‘Oh. Thats how…’ Anyway, there is a loose story in this mod, and I belive it’s that you have to get out of the ‘puzzle-world’, and get back to the real world. Its a fun mod, and a good break from the non-stop action of Half-Life.
Good: Makes you think; challenging puzzles; nicely done overall
Bad: No new textures or models; playable only once in a while; somewhat buggy

if you mean back at beginning and some lights are out and no scientists you are where youre supposed to be.now use the keyboards again to try and get out of the romm then head down stairs to a door that used to be locked.grab the weapon,push the button and head back up to where that room you came out of was.a new door will be open.

This mod has a really interesting premise… play it for the novelty value if nothing else. That’s not to say that the rest of the mod is awful… but not much is revolutionary, either. Some of the puzzles can be insanely difficult, like one where you proceed by shooting the glass top of a towering pyramid off in the distance. Still, a good mod overall.

Can someone help me get out of the first level? I played this mod a long time ago but I can’t remember how to get started. I am in the hallway outside the room with the computers and scientists, but none of the doors open…

Go up the stairs again and jump over to the corner then back and go back to the hall.The door at the other end will be open.The jump across triggers the door to open but only for a short time.

Thank you!

Odd–I seem to be trying to play a different mod than the one reviewed by several folks, above. In-game music drowns out what the scientists are saying to me. Next, I have to lure the Barney in front of a door, which I open, whereupon a grunt kills him. I pick up Barney’s gun, the grunt doesn’t notice, I shoot him, and the grunt doesn’t respond (except to die). Very soon after that there’s no apparent way to proceed. It just doesn’t seem worth playing.

You gave up in less than a minute?Get the hev suit then open the door to the hall.Shoot the grunt or let barney do it,then go through the door at the end of the hall and up the stairs.The rest is answered in other posts.

This mod is well done, and it has some great puzzles. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play a mod that requires you to think once in a while.
17th August 2008
i back to the beggining but i can’t open the door.Its a bug? i trie everthing or how can i do it?
21st August 2008
See the third comment. If that doesn’t help, please describe exactly where you are.

I’m stuck! I’m in a room that has breakable crystals in it. I found a way to open the first grate but the next one is still closed. Has someone played this mod before who can give me a hint? Thanks!!!
3rd December 2008
Tell me a map name or number from your saved games and maybe I can help.Always include important stuff like that if you want help as we cant remember every map/mod and certain spots.
3rd December 2008
If your on TR3 then after you shoot the crystals go back to the gate you came in from.turn around and you will see sparks occasionally on the wall on the left part way up the ramp into the next room.Go to the spark area and use the “use key”

Great mod, but I’m stuck in the waterfall area (TR11). I’ve been up and down the ladder etc. But can’t find a way out. Any kind helpers out there? Just need a gentle hint.
