soccrmastr Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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...

Apogee Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Doesnt Marden kane sound like a name to you? You might be on to something. 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. I think you need to do that with a new account, one that you haven't solved puzzles with yet. 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 think its a sprinkler! lol I posted a pic of it a few million posts back :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeschylus Maximus Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Can somebody verify Marden Kane if that a company or a name i dont have time to do it right now gotta do some work but also decomppiling the flash gets nothing except the fact that the first 3 open image; first 3 boxes open in the same way while the last one opens differently if anyone wants ill post a pic.

xFrappe051x Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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?

drummi3 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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".......

danedmo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thequestor Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) 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.

Kaisersoza Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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 loki@vanishingpointgame.com and get back: [indenfrom loki@vanishingpointgame.com <loki@vanishingpointgame.com> 9:01 pm (1 hour ago) reply-to loki@vanishingpointgame.com to <removed>@gmail.com date Jan 9, 2007 9:01 PM subject RE: Life is a mix of work and play. You've found play... ~Li>[/indent] Then I sent an email to loki@microsoft.com and got back: [indenfrom Loki . (Confidential) <v-loki@microsoft.com> 10:20 pm (30 minutes ago) to <removed>@gmail.com> date Jan 9, 2007 10:20 PM subject Out of Office: mailed-by smtp.microsoft.com Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely. ~Li>[/indent] 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.

BT14 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
