[Trailhead] SeektheSix.com

Quoted from the site I write for:
Quote:
Looks like a new viral marketing campaign has begun. We received a cryptic email stating the following:

If someone was watching us, what would they see?
Seek the Six.
70.87.154.219

Upon going to the site, we were visited by a camera looking back at us followed by what appears to be a sort of mini-game which we have just begun to look at.

The domain is registered to someone at Deep-Focus.com, a marketing company, so it is safe to assume this is the beginning of a viral campaign just in time for Comic Con. Enjoy!

Looks interesting, anyone know about this?

Working on it now. Each of the six boxes holds pictures (in a square of 6x6) and one picture in each section has six of something. For example, in the first section, I found a picture with six black chairs among all red chairs. There is one picture like this in each section, I presume - found three so far, will update when I find them all if they do something.

EDIT: GRRRR, when you click a wrong one, it resets EVERY section and makes you hunt all over again. Be careful for that one.

EDIT TWO: Each time you find the right picture, it gives you a message. Hmm. Here's what I got so far:

1. My whole life is true.
2. A bomb is a true act of humanity.
3. I don't think you want freedom.
4. My whole life is true.
5. The village is not all that there is.

Seek the Six

I went through the game. It's for The Prisoner. I was hoping it was about tracking the Oceanic 6. I was fun though.

The Prisoner, eh? The old TV series? Or was there another The Prisoner somewhere I missed?

Yeah, I finished it too. It shows the picture of a mans face, then says "I AM NOT A NUMBER". The picture dissapears then reappears with another mans face, says "YOU ARE NUMBER" then asks for your e-mail address. Are the numbers it gives you different? Mine is 790486.

I just got the same, it sent me two e-mails with two different numbers. Here it is, for those who don't want to complete the game (though it isn't that hard):

You are number [seemingly unique number here]

You will be contacted

Shoot, got the same thing. Sorry that was not a whole lot more exciting all. It was the first viral email I have ever received and was excited to post it up.

I only got one email too.

On the up side the potential for a Prisoner game, maybe even ARG, is huge, so I'm really hoping there is more and this isn't just a weak viral...

Wow! This movie has Jesus AND Gandalf! It must be good! Wink

ETA: IMDB lists this as in pre-production, so they sure are planning ahead.

Heh, don't worry about it, it was neat. Besides, if the website holds true to it's e-mail, they'll contact us with more.

Disappointing. The correct response is "Ha-ha-ha-ha-mwa-ha-ha-ha" etc. The "you are number..." is in response to "Who is number 1?"

Is this a sequel or a remake? Seems a bad idea either way. I mean, you can't sequel it, can you? Wasn't that one of the points of the last episode? And a remake? I can't see ever being able to do it better. Yes, it had cheesy effects, was a bit heavy-handed at times, etc. but... Would you try to remake 'Rocky Horror Picture Show?' 'Caddy Shack?' 'Gilligan's Island?' Oh nvm.

Arg would be good.
