Been playing with Edison Square. Finally got the lightbulb thing, though I don't really know what it is supposed to reference (I just went through ... every combination).

Spoilers on the solution and the result ahead:

I just heard about this (news coverage of D23) and am trying to catch up. I downloaded the app(?!) from iTunes. This feels a bit like J.J.-esque viral marketing, but oh well..

About the record (cool swag!) I found this site that managed to find hidden messages (?) in it.

And this from D23

It seems like a lot has already happened. Not sure I can catch up to it..

Wow thanks for that link. I'm impressed that so much has happened, although it sounds like it is mainly for Disney-geeks who live in L.A. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose Smile

Any ideas on what time of code/cipher we might need to decode this?

When I turn the image of the plaque sideways (landscape) it appears the top row and bottom row of lines and dashes (long/short) are mirror images of each other.

Wait where did that plaque come from? I must've missed something.

for me, it shows up in the iTunes app "Tomorrowland" that was I able to download, which describes the contents of the 1952 box. There are several 'mysterious' things in the box that are left unexplained. The apparent ending of The Optimist Disney experience leaves me a bit confused about whether this is continuing or not. So did the box introduce a bunch of new mysteries?

I was under the impression that this was a 6 week experience. Has time really gone by that fast? Also if this is for the "TomorrowLand" film and we're almost 100% it is, then what was the end game for the marketing team? I don't believe there were a large amount of people that were engaged to make it worth marketing for more fans? None the less I am not complaining, it was entirely fun! Anyone else have a similar feeling to mine?

Oh, they haven't made that available for Android yet Sad
Afaik the Storyorbit timeline is probably over, save for a conclusive "documentary" they're planning to release covering everything that happened. But there is still going to be meta game up until release, including some pretty cool sounding "live events" that'll happen in the parks. I think this still has some legs.

Sorry to revive a long dead thread, but I'm working on the Tomorrowland Wikia (tomorrowland.wikia.com) and I need pictures from the Optimist ARG websites.

Specifically, I need pictures from Amelia's slides...: http://web.archive.org/web/20130913233745/http://storyorbit.com/hitting-the-right-note

...And almost all the pictures from Lott Construction: http://web.archive.org/web/20140521073708/http://lottfamilyconstruction.com/meet-the-family

Darn, I wish Disney didn't take down these sites, at least until May 22.

If you have anything to help it would be greatly appreciated. I would really, really like to use these.
