If not, then we'll probably find out the exact locations soon enough. (I'm guessing they'll be solutions to any puzzles in the next few days).

Yeah will do.

All of these are real big cities so the more we can narrow it down to a specific location then the easier its going to be to find what we are looking for.

I just hope Loki will hurry up and give us some more clues already! Wink


I hope keeping me up till 1am searching for different computer based events makes Loki happy!

Ah well i'm sure it will be worth it if we find something ^_^

The candy wrappers look like Hershey's Miniatures. Mr. Goodbar (yellow), Krackel (red), Hershey's original & Special dark (black).

I was just watching over the video again and....i dont think Loki will be going to any place apart from Vegas.

She says 'I'm not just doing this for the trip to Vegas' and doesnt mention anywhere else. This could be because the discovery of the other locations had not been found out by then but i still think she would have mentioned it.

Well, we don't even know what is going to happen at the event in Vegas. 'could be that Loki gets kidnapped, and we have to search for her across the rest of the cities! (hey, it could happen!)


Hey, i just thought of something: Loki was packing a magicians outfit in the video. Perhaps at the Vegas live event, she'll Vanish?

Hey, Vegas Crew. Got a video camera? it might be good to record what happens...

Yeah, i was thinking about the magicians outfit too.....

I was also wondering what the pocket watches were for.

She had 5, one for herself and 4 that she put in a box with a screwdriver.
Maybe they will be handed out at certain venues for some reason who knows.

I dont really know how successful it will be but i can always try and take a video camera to the london event so we can upload what happens.

That's probably a good idea. I'll try to get my hands on some type of video camera too, even if it's only the one in my digital camera.

Maybe linked to the sentence "Although, I will say, for a girl with a photographic memory, Vegas is a very profitable city."

Maybe she earns a living by offering her photographic memory to showbiz on one of the many stages in vegas.

hmmm, maybe my monitor is too dark. All i could see were white gloves. Was there something else to make it a magician's costume?

I hear "white gloves" and "pocket watches" in the same sentence, I can only think of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

On the bed were white gloves, a long cane/magicians stick, and a black top hat. The existence of a tuxedo is spec. Go to my flickr page and it's noted: http://flickr.com/photos/konamouse/333137431/

May I suggest you guys come into the chat room for all this back and forth stuff? We love hashing out and answering questions about stuff that has already been posted (rather than reposting the question over and over again because it was missed when someone was reading the previous posts or hasn't read thru the wiki).

The wiki has quite a few methods to get to the chat room.

lokivanishes on the www

I did a google search for lokivanishes hoping to find a blog. But, noo.
Instead, there were three other forum sites where a lokivanishes registered.
DigitalMediaThoughts.com , HardwareGeeks.com, and osnn.net. She has zero posts on them.
All were registered on December 20th, the same day she registered on Neowin.
This does nothing to advance our story, but it's interesting.

eta: A flickr search reveals this http://flickr.com/search/people/?q=lokivanishes
Also nothing there, but the account was opened 1 week ago, Dec. 20th. hmm
eta2: (Click on "member since" to see date joined.)

eta3: Something else registered 1 week ago, but with no content... http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lokivanishes

These may or may not be used in game. They may have been registered by 42 just to keep anyone else from using the name.

Just a few things to keep an eye on.

That remark was implying that she used her photographic memory to count cards at casinos, improving her chances of winning. Plus, we know that Loki isn't exactly living poorly--- after all, she was commissioned by a company just to give away expensive toys. Something tells me she has better things to do with her time than work the Vegas shows with her mindtricks. That being said, I do think that the whole magicians outfit spec is dead on, and I won't be surprised if Loki does her own disappearing act at the Bellagio.

Also, I think you're all looking into this "tag" thing too much. I think it means that if you can't figure this out, then Google it (of course they can't say "Google it", since MS has their own search engines at live.com and msn.com) to see if someone else has solved the cipher. This is further established by the changed text on vanishingpoint: "If your stumped, try searching for the tag to see if other players have figured it out".

And finally, woot to 42! I haven't been really involved in a really great ARG since LCP, I'm in dire need of some ARG love!

After seeing those screens of the chocolate wrappers i've got to agree with Redhatty....those are definitely Hershey's Miniatures. Mr. Goodbar (yellow), Krackel (red), Hershey's original & Special dark (black).
I dont know what significance they could hold in anything though, All we know is that Loki has a good taste in chocolate! ^_^
