It's the picture/email video activity thing from the very beginning. If you already did it you might have to do it again, that happened to me. Make sure you're logged in when you do it, too.

 		Re: Phone Message
Could the phone message contains a clue or message?

I should preface this by stating that I did not play the first game in this series. However, I have participated in other viral campaigns such as Vanishing point. With this in mind, I am tempted to believe that the very odd delivery of Sam's Mother's phone message might have been done on purpose as opposed to a very poor acting job. In addition, if the message does not contain a code, why would the puppeteers have included the sound wave aspect? My initial thought was that it contained information to find a phone number. However, using the number of words and the breaks in the wave patterns, I got 3 7 3 13 10 8 8 2 3. Unfortunately, the count does not work and the area code, 373, does not exist.
Getting back to my initial point, I have just started playing and as such, feel free to let me know if I am making something out of nothing. Also, if you can break down the message in terms of syllables or something else completely perhaps a message could be found.


I might be TOTALLY wrong about this, since it just started a few days ago, but it seems like, so far at least, this whole thing has been VERY straightforward. We haven't really found any hidden info or clues in anything (besides pretty much pointless anagrams hidden in source code). That might change in the future, and you might very well be right (that acting job was terrible, I'm kind of hoping now that it was intentional Razz). I definitely think we should be thinking about things like that and keeping our eyes open for similar clues, and I'm glad you mentioned it because I wouldn't have thought of it myself, but I just don't know how overboard we should go.

I guess time will tell, I'm kind of hoping it gets harder and more involved like that, but we'll see.


I think mernmern has a great idea but E is right- so far there hasn't been anything but more complicated than a pictorial scavenger hunt with a flashlight- I'm kind of thinking we're due,though. THe last TLE game involved ASCII decryptions and steganography and all kinds of cool code breaking challenges- I'm looking for something more complex in the billboards as well and even if the phone message turns out to be nothing- mernmern keep at it- I sure hope the organizers didn't "dumb down" the game since the last TLE experiment!!!

EDIT: i DID found it, but the image is NOT HD!!! so, try to see the numbers... you'll see they match Adams findings...
even tho the image sucks, you can clearly see the NASDAQ value is 2.317, not 2.316, the S&P 500 is 1,2.. not 1.6... and DOWJ is 10. ....

also, if you look at the values when Sam appears in the newscast, you can see the previous values, as posted by Adam!!!


Oh, my apologies to Adam, then. And thanks for posting a screenshot! So, they changed it from a date that they didn't like but that actually existed historically to a date that makes no sense (or, to be precise, they tried, but left some of the mess behind)? Hee. I guess I need to start playing for this to make more sense to me Geek

 		well, what Sonya sais in her "ghostly" appearence was found, by someone with the subtitles on..

"i love you madly"

i did put my subtitles on, to see it and mum's messy message, but the video for the second part pf chapter 1 keeps getting looped....

i can only get to the part where Sam's sees the window is opened, then it enters s loop and i keep seeing the window go back and forward.....

is it just me?? anyone else have that???

When you click on the window to close it the video continues... The video won't continue until you click the window. Wink

Did you not have to do it the first time you watched it? That's weird, I did. It was probably just because the site was so messed up because of all the traffic last night that it just got glitchy on your computer.

i didn't notice it last night... but you're probably right, the site was so slow that probably it glitched on its own and i didn't notice.....

I think that's exactly what's going on here, they've dumbed down the game, but I don't think that's a bad thing, it makes a change from stuff like the first Lost Experience which I found to be ridiculously inaccessible (on account of I don't have the tech whiz skills to crack the games).
