Do the mailings all contain the same colored leds?
I received a blue led in the silver package but my sister got a hold of two from Bonnaroo. While one was blue, she says the other was white.

I got mine and I'm still in high school. (Didnt lie about my age, either)

Anyway, I got the black envelope, pretty thrilled to come home to that! Me and my best friend are doing this together. I'm hoping she's team chrome (she hasnt checked her mail yet), we'd be able to compare future events, in case the envelope does have something to do with it. Will let you know what her color is, and any other info.

I know that we're all Team Black/Chrome-ing at the moment, but what might they mean? There aren't any more colors that we know about, so it can't possibly be individual sense-related. Can people who got certain color envelopes post their sense graphs? Since the combinations are limited, I imagine that they probably shuffle us into the two based on what side of the graph we're more weighted on, regardless of the fact that the messages inside are all the same.

Or I'm completely wrong, and they're just creative. The colors used so far are:

Black, Chrome (Envelopes)
Blue/Aqua (LED, Icefly)

Color is very sense related, so I do have a feeling they will mean something.

Well those colours closely resemble thier new gum React Mint. The tagline for it is '... a unique mint flavor expreience'. Doubt it's useful, but another thought. Although none of us have seen green yet, so just another thought definitely.

So, I feel like we've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the black/chrome envelopes and Mission Icefly, but it might be just as important (if not more so) at this point to play the games on 5gum.com. I for one had some questions. I do well with the "tactile" game where you have to press the keys as they pop up. For the "sight" game where pictures of facebook friends pop up, my game always gets stuck on Level 5. Has this happened for anyone else? It might just be because I don't have any friends on my ARG facebook account and the program for the game doesn't know what to do. Do folks who actually have friends on their facebook accounts that they're using for these games have this issue? Also, I don't have a webcam. What happens with the "smell" game?

On a separate note, I noticed something at 5react.com. Neither the right or left links has worked as mentioned earlier in this thread. (When you click on them, the message that the app is invalid or disabled appears.) However, I just realized that right link that says "Continue your sensory experience. Once you've received your black envelope, enter here to continue your sensory experience. Access with your code." Have people who received black envelopes also received some kind of code? Either in the envelope or via email? I realize that this might just be in reference to getting a black envelope with our IDs (that come with codes?), but I wanted to double check to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I have played the games, but alas I have no webcam! I think that what you say may be the problem for the Picture game. Since they don't just do profile pictures but other photos as well.

Same here for Facebook. I'm wondering if I'm lacking something. Has anyone been successful in connecting with Facebook?

I'm fairly sure there were both blue and purple LEDs at Bonnaroo, but that is probably up to interpretation. A friend of mine caught two and said they were two different colors.

Those that got phone calls, did you guys get a package? And how long did it take between the two?


I got a call from a 916 number that I missed, but I'm not 100% sure that it was part of the game. However, I don't know why anyone from Sacramento would be calling me otherwise. Unfortunately, I don't have my envelope yet. -_-

5react.com and 5 gum.com/Envelopes

Just a rehash of things already covered in this thread. Again, please read the entire thread when first posting, to make sure you're not asking or pointing out things that have already been covered. It makes it much less cluttered.

5gum.com:
I haven't had any problems with the games, the 4 available to play work fine for me.

5react.com:
The promotion is only available in Australia and New Zealand. If you don't live where it's available, you can't log in.

Envelopes:
There are no codes in either the silver or black envelopes. Although some have used the terms "Team Black" and "Team Chrome", I don't think there's anything to the different colors yet.

Although a quick Google search of "Metallic Bubble Mailer" does reveal there are many wonderful colors to choose from. Several that match well with different 5gum flavors.

Here's hoping for "Team Magenta"!

Glad to see a lot of us are getting are stuff and getting involved. Should be fun.


One more thing:

AOL posted the Bonnaroo Icefly video on their main page today, so l'm seeing a lot more participants in our future.

Just found out about this 10 minutes ago, so sorry about this question, but, have we determined that it is about chewing gum?

Seems a bit useless to have an entire ARG for.

Thanks for letting me know that the games are working fine for everyone else. New question that hasn't been covered: How many levels has everybody played with each game? Here are mine:
Keyboard - 4
Pics - 5 (though the fifth gets stuck)
Mixer game - 1
Is this typical or have others gotten further?

I have my doubts as to whether the promotion is still going on in Australia and New Zealand, as was stated in my third post on this page: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32383&start=255 but no one replied (at least to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong) from those two countries to say whether or not they could still participate. Anyone?

As a Torontonian, I feel I have been entirely shafted by Toronto's current city-wide mail strike. Evil or Very Mad POSTAL SERVICE, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!?

Regardless, I eagerly await the end of this strike and the beginning of my life as a test subject in the HPP.
