Angels and Demons ARG/logic puzzle promo For the upcoming Movie, Angels and Demons, which is a prequel to The DaVinci Code, MSN is having a contest.
I thought I'd post the official website link here.

Thanks.

sounds like a good contest for the puzzle solvers here. You can win a trip to Rome.
It started yesterday. Here is a link that explains the rules:

Thanks Rose. I couldn't find that game promo this morning, so I just posted the main site.
It's not often I find one of these games before they've been around for a while!

Of course my favorite part of these games are the rules. This one is open to:
Quote:
The Angels & Demons Path of Illumination Contest (the "Contest") is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (including D.C.), Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, who have reached the age of majority in their state, country, province, region or other area of residence and did not purchase any products, software, services or equipment for the purposes of entering this Contest. Flash 9.0, a Windows Live ID and the Photosynth Web browser plug-in application (for viewing and creating synths) are required to participate in the Contest, but they may be obtained for free
So we've got US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and UK -each gets a winner.

Uh, shouldn't this be in News & Rumors . CF With Potential is really for games that have gotten big enough to outgrow a single thread.

Thanks ndemeter! It'll probably get a lot more players now. I remember the first one, I got real nifty cryptex out of that.

Google to MSN Odd that Sony moved from their partnership with Google on the DaVinci Code to MSN with this sequel/prequel.
Also odd that they seem to want to repeat all of the same problems of the previous one.
Still, looking forward to the fun games, just not expecting to win.

Earth Level 1 There are several different Level 1 puzzles.
The best I got so far was 17 points.
Not sure if there are easier puzzles or better solutions,

It's one of the chairs at the end, it's clear enough when you finally find it.
I have to say I was looking forward to this, but I found the puzzle irritating, and the photosynth even more so. I'd def put it in the very clever but useless category... but then I'm tired, so ended up with a schocking 117 score overall

Lucky!! I really wanted a cryptex but I didn't finish the last puzzle fast enough.
Looking forward to playing this new one!
