I am new here and was attracted by the posts so if I miss something bear with me please. I've read all the posts and I wonder how come nobody see the obvious " JANUARY " in the word puzzle game. You start from the "J" in the middle which is the 41st letter when you count from the upper left corner from left to right. 41 is the reverse of the first two digits of the number at the bottom in the word puzzle page. Maybe this may give a clue to the solution. I'm now trying the other squares of 9 letters. The square on the left of the center square may also be interpreted as " AIRIN ". So it could lead to "airing" of some event on the 8th of January??? Please comment on this and lead me.

Going back to the video posted on Youtube:

...

6) Placing 5 Pocketwatches in a wooden box, with one pocketwatch alread inside the box. One pocketwatch is left on top of a pad of paper with a strange drawing to the right of the pocketwatch. 7 pocketwatches in total, with 6 inside the box

I would think this is possibly a hint to the number of keys.

There are three we have as solved,

3scape3grav1ty

iw4nttwinyou

and

wh0isl0ki (http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/biography/ responds to the question and http://vanishingpointgame.com/rpiiajsuy/ as mentioned solves the old sudoku also gives the same page so I'm putting this off as solved).

the iw4nttwinyou key did have the name Cipher Key 4.jpg. Additionally we have the image on IEBlog which is still unsolved and is named Vanishing Point Game_2.jpg. Possibly I would say the wh0isl0ki qualifies as number one (it gives the background of this, probably fictional, Loki character).

Then there's the binary(?) key found on digg. That makes 5 known keys. If we assume,

a) This is a contest

b) The final part will take place at or around January 8th

it would be possible the last key is given there and first to solve it will win grand prize.

If I'm correct there are (at least, the key from digg cannot be assumed as safe as there is no other source) 1 more key/crypto to find and solve and we still haven't solved the key that started it all. :pinch:

Keep it up guys, I'm not nearly as clever as some others of you but this is too interesting to follow. And this actually made me sign up for an account. :cool:

Oh, and regarding the time limit, it'd be safe to assume we still have those 15 days left on the timer on the site so there's no big hurry (yet :p ).

Using a word list at max 2 requests per second.

But anyway, brute force will probably give nothing - most probably they only have the current puzzle goal page uploaded, and will upload more when it's solved.

In any case, I'm not going to get anything from this competition, as I'm not an american... It's just for my personal fun.

So I learned Chinese and English and Latin and Greek. I learned that music was a kind of astronomy and that pure light was infinite but invisible.

Must have something to do with it...

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
