[RING][Trailhead] Find the Lost Ring

[KLind]

Looks interesting. I'm correct in the assumption that the site isn't working, correct?

heh, well the site's up now, with lots of images, but lorem ipsum text


ETA: subscribe to the blog - note the address (a peek behind the curtain it seems )
http://clearspacex.mcd.sf.aqa.com/clearspacexpostgres/blogs/ariadne/feeds/posts

AKQA - the team behind Iris (Halo 3) which would explain how they got my address
bah! I debated even posting this... but it's so obvious at this point, just wanting to subscribe to the blog feed.

ETA2: actually it seems like there's a bunch of potential test/meta stuff in there at the moment. If you don't want to peek, I'd suggest not opening the site for a bit. *tsk* PMs: make sure your site is ready by the same you send out directions for people to visit it *sigh*

dunno what to think at this point... I mean the package seems so professional and slick, but the site is a mess

hey! I recognize her!
Isn't that one of those 2girls....um...never mind.

[thebruce]

heh, seems they noticed...

[riquardo]

March the 3rd seems to be a recurrent date. Would this have anything to do with Ms. McGonigal's super secret project? The last slide of her GDC presentation said "Alter your reality 03-03-08". Wether it is or not, this sure sounds interesting.

EDIT: we should keep an eye on youtube or other video sharing websites, as the character says "Get the video ready, I'm sure someone will recognize you...". Or maybe it's a video for this website, but we never know.

Hi guys,

I received today a package as well. Same same but different. I have other postcard motifes. The ball of wool is red, I don't have the small slides of paper and on the package is another message. It says "This is a clew".

[thebruce]

nice, welcome kstar! Are you able to link to any pictures?

[Star Spider]

lucky you thebruce - getting packages

An Olympic ARG would be super cool!

[riquardo]

Yeah, lucky you two receiving cool stuff in the mail.

Kstar030, are there any character's names in the stills/postcards/papers?
(and could you post some pictures? Thanks!)

[thebruce]

Find her...
Find the others...
Find him...
Save the cheerleader... *
Save the world...


* I would love to the save cheerleader! Why is there no cheerleader?

[thebruce]

and fyi, Ariadne is a greek goddess (seems applicable to the olympics), and Kai... well, could be any number of things, including (hee!) a hero from Lexx

of course it could also just be simply what this person was named...


ETA: Team Jersey (my cats) found the ball of yarn

[myf]

Yay! I had one of these boxes waiting for me when I got home from work. It was addressed to Mr Myf (which amused me - people who see the name myf always seem to assume it's a male name, but it's not). They're definitely sending these things internationally - I'm in the UK.

My box had "Curiouser and curiouser" written on 2 sides.

Inside the parcel was:

• the 1920 Belgium Olympics poster as above
  
• a ball of white, yellow, green & blue yarn (with the same message as posted by thebruce on the front and "You will soon encounter a puzzling situation" on the reverse, though I missed the tiny slip of paper when I first looked)
  
• 3 cards.

The card backs say the same as posted by thebruce, but the fronts are different. I've chucked scans onto my Flickr page if anyone wants to have a look at the pictures. I can't identify the places depicted, so I don't know if they're the 1920 Games or not. If anyone wants to do some detective work, I can post the reference numbers from the pictures.
