any one else notice in the gears hint from the vegas video, the dates conveniantly (sp?) have 1866 and 1946....phone number hint maybe?

I doubt those are anything other than the Birth/Death years for H.G. Wells

HG Wells was born 1866 and died 1946, used to get the hint to time travel

i'm 100% sure theres nothing in sundial with a white box... i've scanned it, zoomed in now in 3 browsers, each time logged in and out. i've found nothing. some of the puzzles must be missing them.

[soccrmastr]

in the loki cabin video with the blowtorch there is a shining ring above the rock in the grass that seemed totally out of place... someone had suggested the pi references leading to a halo... same shape as a ring... dont know if this is anything

i emailed the seattle, washington park board asking about gas works park (the box on the 27th- the last box- is supposed to be opened there), asking about events scheduled on the 27th and there is an all day event scheduled there called "World Puzzle" just a random fact...

You might be on to something.

I think you need to do that with a new account, one that you haven't solved puzzles with yet.

a sprinkler wow lol. sorry i didnt see yours... anyway this could be a clue or could be totally redundant but one of the stamps used to send the original letters with the flash drives had a picture of a clock - the 10c stamp is called "american clock" and apparantly its only sold in batches of 10,000. anyway it was built by Simon Willard around 1805. heres the address for the original site:

does anyone know what browser the ps3

[xFrappe051x]

Maybe we could also check out some of the other viral marketing campaigns that Microsoft and 42Entertainment have put out (like ILoveBees for Halo 2)

We might be able to get some similarities between them?

How come for Sundial when I type in Helios or HELIOS or helios it says in white letters on the top left of vanishingpointgame.com "OTHER"....... I really need to know. For all the rest they worked. It's just this one. :no:

[danedmo]

Here are the 9 "hidden images" that I found within the 12 puzzles, I'm not really sure what they mean. I tried putting them together, but didn't really get anywhere with that.

Anyone got ideas?

[thequestor]

Just wondering, before I saw mention of "5" being the number of times she points in the last wmv.

I was looking at the main page and faintly I counted 5 flags. I took a screen shot and brightened it up to see and sure enough 5 flags.

though I wonder why the US flag isn't included. Hmmmm

[blackhawk127]

its important to distuingiush between someone running this game and someone who is in it. loki is a character in the game playing the part of a person running it, but shes not actually running it

I think you will find it is there, stick the contrast and brightness up a lot more:

Yeah i know the picture looks ugly, but it was only to illustrate that its still there

Ok so I watched the vid at the end the got the page http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/on_the_run that flashed across the sceen really fast.

The last two lines on the page are boggling me:

"When the time is right, I?ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to." (Sounds like a riddle, think it has to do with the odpathi> of "on_the_run")

And then "Contact Me." at the bottom of the page.

So i send an email to [email protected] and get back:

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

I think the intent is either a sound file to find or a phone number to call, but I am stumped (and a bit foggy eyed at this poin:wacko:o: ) and must go get rest. I thought I'd at least throw this out there....

I just watched the video for the umpteenth time and I noticed something. Loki gave the clues in the exact reverse order that the puzzles were listed. Something to keep in mind for the next set of clues.

[Karl Sheldon]

Deleted as it was pointless - still it will keep the late comers guessing ?

Don't do it though!
