The REAL game starts... (Puzzle Box 1)


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the extra posting, but it seems Neowin forums doesn't want me to edit my own posts.

This is an update on the OTHER problem posted earlier. It only happens with Cuckoos, Pocket Watches, and Starfield (for me, at least).

I had already solved the easy puzzles, so I don't know if/how many of them are affected. I hope it's just a glitch.

BTW, my Austin countdown is still running: 18 hrs, 45 minutes, though I wish I could go but can't (no money for gas :cry: ) . The real shame is that I'm currently in DFW. Sooo close....--oh, well. I've asked a friend who lives down there to go for me.

If anybody has any ideas about the OTHER problems, my email is open: it1..SPLAT..cwazy.co.uk

Thanks!

Where are you seeing that events are canceled? The locations and countdowns still show up on the main Vanishing Point Game website in the Box 2 section...are you seeing something about cancellations on another website?

I agree with Moroz that Loki/Lorelei/Loreley wouldn't have to be wherever the events are if they are prerecorded like in Las Vegas. In that sense, she could everywhere and not even be physically at any of those locations.

That having been said, Azimuth would seem correct as far as the 5th (and true) location being the vanishing point and only location...IF, IF the other four are canceled.

If they do cancel the other four, I think that you'll have a boatload of enthusiast playing this game become eight shades of P'ssed Off, especially if they bought airline tickets and hotel accommodations.

Again, where are you seeing locations canceled?

Do you think that the white squares being clicked have something to do with the countdowns? Cause my austin location appeared cancelled after I went and found all the white meta squares that we know of.

Edit: Also, wasn't the old AMD building in Austin?

Editing yet another edit: ALSO, whats the point of five locations? WHY would they show five videos in five places at seemingly different times? If they are all the same video then whats the point, and if they aren't the same video that seems like alot of wasted time and effort to put in to a puzzle scheme considering by the time the first one ends the website will probably already HAVE the video uploaded.

Hello all... first post. Found the site after discovering the 9 white squares and searching for an answer. Anyway, thought I'd chime in on the cancellation... I imagine Austin is getting cancelled because I believe there is a major ice storm headed that way.

Also, while I'm posting, I should point out that there is a typo on the first page summary where it says:

Implying Loki's real name is Lorelei Kitsume & that's basically where we're at

that should be Kitsune, not Kitsume. Also may want to point out that Lorelei can also be spelled as Loreley

... also just noticed same typo in the summary here:

It also reveals Loki's name is "L. Kitsume"

Guys i swear i like the newcomers but this is getting out of hand. Maybe next next we could find out who made the clothes she's wearing or what color makeup she put on. Seriously the only one that looks like possibly anything is the stamps, but that was pregame stuff. if you haven't noticed everything else that was pregame is gone. You need to focus on what we're doing now and what we're going to do and be patient like most of us instead of writing down every thought that comes into your head. I can tell most of have read the previous pages but theres some that just stick out like a sore thumb. Go Back And Read The Pages. I agree with +Rich and that newcomers are welcome and yes we could use they're help but don'tgo and put crappy posts on here. I'm thinking about creating another forum or something and inviting all the guys that have helped out so far if anyone has any comments please tell me because i can already tell that come tommorrow when they unlock the next box we're going to get 20 posts a second on here and most of them won't be anything. I'm srry if you take this the wrong way but think before you post.

Well the only reason all of this is coming up is because all the puzzles but the meta one are solved. So people are trying to grab on to something and figure out if they can see anything else. I can see you agitation but really (me personally) an i think other people too cant wait to get the next puzzles so they do the next best thing: speculate about the only one that hasn't been solved. Its only natural i think

A lot of the images, spoted by the uses, look like the Windings2 images. Maybe i'm nuts...

Someone should probably take the time to "translate" those to real letters and see if that brings up anything. (Notice the interobang, and some time symbols, the same type of the "devil hooks as characters as the cooko-clocks

Windings.

GDESINR - U are right. There is a major ice storm heading for Austin. I live in Houston and was going to attend the Austin event but the ice storm is going to be in Austin and almost to Houston by then so I can't go. Dangit!!!! Anyway, I tend to agree with Boazer, there will probably be only one site. Like Loki said, "Things in my world disappear".... Maybe Austin was the first to dissappear?

Perhaps Austin was cancelled due to weather......(I'm in Texas, not too far from there, and we have Ice Storm warnings......just a thought)

Man I am glad I live in SOUTH Texas. Though we have rain this up coming week, it doesn't look any worse than the 60's. After you live down here long enough you actually forget that the rest of the country/world get's cold.

anyway I guess that saved me 11 hours of my life drive time just to watch a video :p

Amen to that THEQUESTOR, I can't stand the cold. Hope the ice doesn't make it as far as Houston. Do you think it is the ice that cancelled Austin? At first I thought it was going to be in one site since Loki said things in her world disappear and I thought maybe sites would disappear but now I have thought it through and it has to be the ice storm. Could you imagine people from all over the world showing up to a cancelled event? Not gonna happen. Too much bad PR.

Nasty stuff for sure.

And I just wanted to wish anyone in the storms path good luck and keep warm and safe.

my thought is that there will only be one real event. this would account for the different times for the countdowns- people dont know what time or place it will be- and what better event to cancel than one that already looks like its going to be nasty weather. on the other hand, it could be just an ice storm...

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
