Cry Wolf

Just saw this on ARGN and there isn't a topic about it, so I figured I would make one. This kind of thing intrigues me, but these instructions aren't very clear.

Quote:
Use your cell phone to text your AIMŪ screen name to CWOLF (29653) and use AIMŪ on your phone to get in on the hunt!


Are they saying to send a text message to 29653? I tried that already and it didn't work.

Maybe its country dependent or you need to also use the numbers that correspond to cwolf on a keypad.

Yeah, those are the numbers. It just gives an access denied message because it doesn't exist.

Saw this in the movie trailer for the movie Cry_Wolf. They specify texting that name from your cell phone... possible that you can only get in on it from a cell?

If so, that sucks, cuz I don't have one.

I added CWolf to my buddies list too, but nothing so far. Eyes peeled and ears open.

My guess, considering the movie plot (someone using AIM is predicting murders by IM'ing the location to the main character or whatever) is that they want you to use your phone's AIM because you'll be directed in Real Time to various locations. They just want a nifty way to do real time communications on the move.

I sent a text to that number. Within 10 seconds, got a response:
"Did we get your screenname right? R U ADTHR26959?"
I replied with "Yes", then got another response:
"Thx for ur interest in AIMCryWolf. We'll give u a shout when we're ready to go. Hold tight and stay logged in."

ok so the game apparently started today.
Quote:
AIMCryWolf:
Thx 4 registering 4 the AIMCryWolf mobile game. U can win hot prizes from Chrysler and others just playing on ur phone
CLICK HERE
if u want to play.

link goes to www.aimcrywolf.com
the first step is sending a text message to cwolf from your phone with your AIM screenname in it.

the way it works, is you're sent a trivia question on your cell phone, and you have until the next question is sent to answer it. questions are sent tuesday or thursday at 3pm eastern. you get sent the next question if you got the last one right.

you send the answer to the AIM screen name from your desktop AIM client.

ok, the catch that disqualifies me is, you MUST have AIM on your cell phone to play the game. after registering at the site, i got this message:
Quote:
[16:44] AIMCryWolf: Get in the hunt 4 cool prizes. Play the AIMCryWolf mobile game on ur phone right now! Log onto AIM on ur phone.

which kinda annoys me

anyone able to do this?
