as if you were about to type in a text box (a cursor...)

I think that it is the puzzle selection page (with Loki) in the background coming through to the top. It has something to do with the way the words Solved and Unsolved work. It's like dynamic text or something -- something with the way the flash is programmed.

On the pocket watches puzzle, up in the corner, is that a cup of tea? does it have anything to do with the cup of tea on the broken pocket watch? hmmm

btw, hello everybody, this is my first post :laugh:

also, the watch in the right hand corner is the same watch as the one on the puzzle page, it also looks like it has a cup of tea in it

Anybody had any luck in getting Hints from Loki ?

Remember the first video when she mentioned Tag ?

in Xbox live you'll find Vanishingpoint as a gamers tag.....

But as yet I've had no luck communicating with it............

Sorry if this has been covered already........It's a long thread now....................................

I've been reading posts that were started in Dec that some folks will receive a wooden box that looks the same as the picture posted in the vanishingpointgame.com website. So do we have to wiat for someone to receive a box and solve the codes? Or will the next opening of box solutions be totally different?

Dont know if this means anything but it seems you can match up the puzzles in order with her quadruple majors

physics and time passes (physics has alot to do with time in a sense)

stage arts and magic happens (a magician is a type of stage performer)

history and memories fade (memories are history or past)

folklore and people disappear (alot of people in folklore never really existed so it would be natural for them to disapear)

or maybe like everyone else Im just over anylizing everything trying to find the next clue....

the boxes appear to be without a use atm. they were sent out for the preawareness part of the campaign, but now all the links they lead to are gone.

I think that that part of the game was just at the start...where the first people were beginning to learn of the game via some message boards....its a viral marketing campaign for Windows Vista. I think it is REALLY cool actually!! I love challenging clever stuff like this!

Hey - checked the (possible fake) lokivanishes.com site again. It says "loki is right in front of you-split your monitor and find her there"

Don't know how to split my monitor or if this is even legit - just thought I'd let everyone know

That bar code looks a lot like this image and it is split like the caption suggest. Where to go from there excapes me though.post-193293-1168550328.jpg

I believe those are her "obsessions".

The lokivanishes.com is certainly out of game, and it won't be the last out of game site that people will be fooled by...

The key is that if it is a site that doesn't provide any new information or seems to go in a dead end without any payoff, it's fake. With just about every ARG there is a group of people who want to lead people to think their site is part of the game. It's quite the phenomenon.

Those associations are good. So the themes for the next 3 puzzles can definitely be related to her majors(if those were really her majors).

Here's what I've been thinking,

In the envelopes mailed out to participants came with a letter stating, 'You are now a decoder. There are only a few like you, but thousands more are looking for you. ...'

Could we have more then just the flash drives (containing Cipher Keys) which are most important to the game?

I can't help but think the stamps on our envelopes have some importance to the game.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • 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 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.
