Puzzle Box 2

[Jacki Boi]

CHECK THIS OUT!............look at the MAIN PAGE of the game....and what she says...(refer to the image below)

ISNT THAT A COINKIDINKY????

You just had me searching google image for a "COINKIDINKY"

i feel so ashamed :no:

[Tha14thSpade]

You know what I'm thinkin... I'm thinkin they are reading this... and adding more to it... could that be possible? lol

[Orph]

Well I was just looking at the site and how excited D-Cipher is right now and thought I'd post something interesting...

On the main page one of the quotes is "think you have what is takes to solve my puzzles hidden around the globe"

I relized that the puzzles are not hidden around the globe, the puzzles are on the actual website, it's the clues to the puzzles which are around the globe but they also are NOT HIDDEN like it is mentioned on the site, the times and places that the clues will be revealed are made very public on the website, we even get GPS co-ordinates...not very well hidden if you ask me lol.

In fairness is does say also that the "puzzle pieces [are] disguised in the real world", this is probably true sine we need to decrypt them before they make sence

anyway, just the ramblings of a tired overworked guy which is now going to sleep, cya

Woot! I finally have something to add that I don't think anyone else has noticed. I went off of the post of checking around the globe on the main page, before clicking on any of the boxes and noticed there were faded flags posted around the globe. 5 of them. I went clicking through the boxes to see if it went along with the different puzzles and noticed that 4 of the flags match our next puzzle box. HOWEVER!! The one for San Francisco does NOT match, instead theres a similar flag of Australia from the 2nd puzzle box posted. Whats up with that? Will San Francisco be cancelled and something happen in Australia? Any ideas? Or am I just talking about nonsense?

Now thats checking around the globe!! :-)

Now thats just made my day, i can sleep happy now hehe, very funny

Wow man, what the heck are you smoking today ????

That's a very early message during the pregame, when she says "Post" and "not delivered like this"

she refers to the fact that several folks (mostly bloggers and such) got a puzzle box with a

cipher via the postal service.

Anyway I'll take a closer look at the images, but man stop smoking or share !!!

Cheers

Another thought, has anyone sent loki a letter in the POST to microsoft? or AMD? could get a response hehe, I might try it but I think international post will take too long since I'm in Australia

thoughts?

"Around the Globe",,, "Go in through the Window",,,

Not getting it, maybe there is no IT. I think maybe we are done until either something happens in Austin or the next box opens.

The only thing I see is the flags and the white blocks around the globe.

The American flag is there, but barely visible. Just under the last box. You can barely make it out if you lighten the heck out of the image, and even then, just the red & white bottom stripes.

So, all countries involved have a flag showing.

[wickedwish]

Right but look at those flags. You have:

England,

Singapore,

Germany,

Canada,

Australia.

That matches 4 out of 5 for the next puzzle box to open. There is no USA flag posted on there when there has been events around the US. So why not at least have the American Flag if you want something easy instead of putting all the states. Instead of at least posting the San Francisco flag.. the Australia one is in it's place. My question is Why?

*EDIT*

I don't know how to lighten it on my computer. All I see is the shape of a pen. But I'll take you're word for it. I appologize. Thought I was onto something.

[confusio]

While analyzing the flash files I found something that I didn't mention before, I don't believe

that it has any value now, but something to keep an eye for this weekend.

On the homepage for week two one of the base images in the flash file, lower right corner

has this:

That it gets actually replaced by the image you see if you go normally to that page.

Now that we know that all the clues were delivered that way it has no value.

PS. They fixed the problem I reported yesterday with the PuzzleHandler script, so the found the

error, or they got my email or they are actively reading this forum ....

Cheers

The Aussie flag was there in the same place before box 2 was opened! Not sure of the others, I know there were many flags though

Don't feel bad, so did I earlier into the game. I ended up creating a screenshot much like Akitakoi did, lightening it up in Photoshop, and adjusting contrast levels until I could see the flags "clearer."

So, even if it didn't turn out to be anything, give yourself a pat on the back & don't be discouraged, Wickedwish!

Okay so why then can you see all the other flags appropriately but not the american flag? I'm probably looking way to deep into this. It just confuses me. You can see it if you lighten the page and play with the contrast levels, but you can't see it like you can see the other flags. Weirdness.

HERE, HERE!!

The white blocks are all around the globe - as far out as the flag for singapore.

The other thing I noticed about the globe on the main page is the strange black pattern on the upper right of the globe - any ideas?

[Tha14thSpade]

I think we may already be too late... I'm throwing this out there, and I don't know if it was said or not. maybe the white boxes we've been clicking on are puzzle pieces that fit together... because they are a little bit differently... has anyone tried croping them all out and piecing them together? And once they are clicked on... are they gone?... if so... I'm unable to piece them together... anyone think I'm on to something here?...

[D-Cipher]

Now thats just made my day, i can sleep happy now hehe, very funny

thoughts?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....TOOOOOTALLY made my day, man!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks! lol

BTW.....Confusio..........im NOT smoking....well i did...3 yrs ago...a lot...no more, LOL...now its just CIGS :)

So no sharing, excuse moi ! :)

FYI....i GUARANTEE you that those white boxes (that look like sypher codes) MUST BE DECIPHERED..i just dont know how to do that...lol..........its DEFINETLY A "OBVIOUS" (since its on main page) CLUE.....that is so easy to MISS!....

you know how the saying goes..."What is MOST OBVIOUS is always the lease obvious to a naked eye".....

Meaning...leave your keys next to the door..and the thief will still try to break the door with a kick or two :)

[D-Cipher]

THAT just goes to prove how COO COO (do NOT google this!!!....it means "CRAZY") everyone has gone...EVERY unrecognizable word they see they GOOGLE RIGHT AWAY and try to "solve" it somehow, LOLOLOLOL this is HYSTERICAL!!!!

If you right click on the main page and choose "forward" all of the boxes disappear.

Could someone with more technical skill than myself get a screen shot of that page and post it. Maybe we'll be able to see the white boxes better without the puzzle boxes in the way.

Nevermind - I think I did it - check it out

those white boxes have been pasted together and you get what looks like a coat of arms with a grappling hook on it

Wrong white boxes - I'm talking about the white boxes all over the main page and in the screen shot above

[D-Cipher]

this is an INVERTED image.....looks a bit clearer....

Note that at 2:00 oclock or 2:30 (Pretend the Globe is a clock)...there seems to be some WRITING being reflected ONTO the globe from somewhere....a very nice Script calligraphy....You alll see that???
