	The first puzzle to be released was a video showing moments in the Assassin's Creed series. After the video ended, the player was told to make a list of the clips in order of their appearance. Each time the video was viewed, the image quality degraded 20%. There were more clips than keywords, so the player had to find the most relevant clip for each keyword. For example, the first relevant scene was an arch in [[Rome]], so the first answer was "Arch".

	The first was called "Artifact Identification", which showed a Portuguese coin with the words ''"In hoc signo vinces"'' on it. This meant ''"In this sign you will conquer"'', which was a phrase used by Constantine I, and it referred to the [[Templar]] cross. The player then entered the phrase into a cryptex, and when it opened the player had to find the correct coordinates. They mostly consisted of Roman landmarks, but the correct one was "N4100518E2858795", which were the coordinates for the [[Hagia Sofia]] in Istanbul.

	The fifth puzzle was a rotating-rings puzzle similar to the ones seen in the [[Glyph]] challenges of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. There were five seals, each with a different image. Players rotated the rings to line up all the images and had only 20 turns of the rings to do so. Each ring was connected to another ring or set of rings on another seal, so players had to carefully consider their moves before rotating a ring. With the proper rotations, the player needed only to arrange the symbols into the proper order to finish the puzzle - the puzzle would also hint at the correct order by marking the correct and incorrect answers.
