This Quest returned to a linear model, and was similar to online challenges like the Tim Tang Test and notpr0n. Registration returned to the traditional method of filling out a form, and user progress was not tracked. Puzzles included hidden text in images, clever riddles, and a clue inside the Beast. | This Quest returned to a linear model, and was similar to online challenges like the Tim Tang Test and notpr0n.

===1T1=== | |||
This Quest was run by Evangelos Staikos, who had already previously co-run the 0T8 Quest. The back-end reused 0T9 code allowing for automatic registration. The puzzles were built in Flash. There were 26 puzzles in total this year, the most of any quest to date by far. The puzzles were organized into 3 stages and included a clicking escape puzzle. There was no meta-puzzle and the winner had to solve all 26 puzzles to win. | |||

The back-end reuses 1T1 code and much of the styling is reused. There are 23 puzzles in total arranged in 3 stages. Automatic emailing has been disabled (I couldn't get it to work), so batch emails will be sent to notify new stages being unlocked. Meta-puzzles are reintroduced in this quest. | |||

===1T3=== | |||
The back-end reuses 1T1 code again. The Quest started on December 21, 2012, the alleged end of the world. Therefore, the theme this year is to find the Godiva's Ark, which has a similar function as the Noah's Ark (to prevent the world from ending, basically). The Godiva's Ark is hidden in one of the Engineering buildings and the first person that finds the Ark will be the winner. There are 3 stages, 21 puzzles in total. Will you find the Ark to save us all? | |||

Once again using the lovely 1T1 backend and style, this year's Quest contains 21 puzzles arranged into three phases. Designed for the first time by a Chem, the puzzles are meant to move away from a computer and cryptology basis, and are based on problem-solving, logic, and maybe a little dumb luck. | |||

===1T5=== | |||
This year's Quest contains three phases, each with six puzzles and one meta puzzle, followed by a final puzzle that questers will need to solve to win the Quest. The shadowy Godiva Industries appears to have taken over the Quest, and, unlike in past years, questers are encouraged to find hidden parts of the site in order to unravel the mystery behind the group. Though this year's Quest shares the styling of the past few years, sweeping changes have been made to the backend. | |||
Upon solving each meta puzzle, questers obtained the credentials to the email account of a different Godiva Industries employee. They uncovered more and more of the Godiva Industries conspiracy by finding the company login page hidden within the site and using those credentials to infiltrate the employees' email inboxes. This culminated in the shocking revelation that Godiva Industries' president was none other than our beloved Rhonda Meek! The first person to confront Rhonda in her office with irrefutable proof of her involvement in Godiva Industries was rewarded with the title of Godiva's Quest 1T5 champion. | |||
