LOL took me long enough to complete the little game part...I am totally embarrassed at how many tries I needed. Well I eventually got the number, mine is 386111, and am hoping for more info by e-mail. I am not familiar with the original show but the game may have some potential if it turns out to be more than a simple viral!

Here are all the answers I got:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My whole life is true.
Identity collapse
The village is not all that there is.
There is only the village.
A bomb is a true act of humanity.
The truth is right beside you.
Help me to conform, submit
I am no one.
I don't think you want freedom.
(at the end) I AM NOT A NUMBER...YOU ARE

Interestingly, I thought I would receive on "phrase" for each of the correct pieces completed, but in my case they doubled up. I had of two "There is only the village."
My number is 888489. Eeeegads, I hope that isn't my prisoner number!!
I too hope it is more than a viral.

I'm #293525 so the numbering system is pretty random I guess.

Deep Focus did "Save My Husband"!
I liked that game.

Oddly enough, they created an /images directory. All I could locate were the images with the "six" disctinctions. They are labelled 1-23 . 2.jpg, 6.jpg, and 13.jpg are missing for some odd reason. I understand maybe why 6 and 13 are missing, but why 2? Weird.
I couldn't locate the other pictures in the game... yet.

Well I tested the "double clicking causes more than one email" theory. I decided to keep clicking until I got a response email. i got seven control emails all with unique numbers not in sequential order.

I'm working on the game portion, and I intend to play this. I hope it's fun!

Sooooo, according to posts that someone posted outside this thread (guess they didn't scroll down far enough), there was skywriting today in San Diego that said, SEEK THE SIX. Guess they were taking advantage of Comicon.

Skywriting over ComiCon I posted this in an off thread, and per protocol brought it in here.
Quote:
Been a while since I posted on uF, but I was working when I decided to poke my head outside for some fresh air. I looked up and saw a plane writing Seek The Six. The plane went back to re-write it, but I was already looking up the main website. Beyond being for The Prisoner, is this all there going to do for the game? I'll upload the skywriting pics if anyones interested when I get home.
EDIT: By the way, this is right over Coronado Island, in San Diego.
So when I get home I'll upload the cruddy pictures. They're on my phone, and its midway between the second pass at the writing.

i doubt this goes beyond a weak viral... ugh
the game was very easy (except that very clever one with the upside-down door - nearly caught me ) and it looks like a dead end. time will tell if the YOU ARE A NUMBER part is a key to something in the future or a random gimmick.
i'm #960213, btw

I couldn't tell you why 13 is suppressed, but No. 6 is the protagonist in the series, and No. 2 was the public face of the Village, a constantly revolving office in charge of breaking the prisoners and learning their secrets. Presumably, that's why these numbers are "off-limits."

And they miss another one. In the original the digit 8 (I think it was) never appeared anywhere. For no apparent reason, but with consistency. Ok maybe I got the digit wrong 'cause it's only been like forty years, (actually I re-watched last summer) but the info is available on the trivia sites.
Ok, I promise I won't complain ever again. About this.
