ot: there's also that nasty "quickie" fudge you can make with processed cheese spread... so... you see...(back on topic) anything's possible... may not be palatable to most but is possible.

There are lots of ARG's where the players role play. I am playing WITG right now and we were forced to split into two teams. One teams supports this guy kidnapping and murdering Hollywood icons, one team decries it. I chose to support, cause sometimes being evil is more fun. As a result, my "character" within this game has even made a video showing my support. Obviously, I don't really condone kidnapping and murder, but within this particular game, I do.

Puzzle Experiment #2 is up.

Thanks everyone for your help on this first experiment. I hope the second experiment is slightly more challenging and enjoyable.

For anyone still wondering, the difficult solve for Puzzle Experiment #1 required players to notice that the image was stegged in addition to having hidden numbers in the backdrop. The password for the hidden data is 5319. The hidden portion of the image contains a gif file with another number code: 8260. Using the same indexing logic that Nighthawk explains, the final passcode would be: 6208.

The additional layer was put in place as another point of study, to see how many players, if any, would check that far into the image. Unfortunately, the puzzle had some obvious problems, so that point of interest was never reached.

Anyway, thanks again, everyone. Your feedback has been well-received.

I've often said that stegging is a great way to hide information.
I've also often said that if it happens in a game, I won't ever see the solution as "Homey don't play dat". There are an impossibly huge number of tools out there for stegging and unless a game hints at which was used, trying to happen on the correct one is an exercise in futility.
