I'm currently leaning towards 42E doing a stand alone ARG that is in no way connected to any movie, game, other intellectual property or product. Just an extremely well produced ARG that advertises nothing and is kinda the true form of an ARG. i.e. minus any direct viral marketing.
My idea is that 5Gum is only a sponsor to offset costs, like when you watch a TV show and see "Parts of this program are sponsored in part by..." Only this program is a traditional ARG and not a TV show or movie (or directly marketing anything).
For me, this is currently the best possible outcome, an ARG simply for the sake of ARGs.
I really like this idea.
Even if it is strictly 5gum related, 42E has already put on quite a campaign for gum. If they made an arg related to bottled water, I bet they could get fish to play it.

I'm almost 100% sure it isn't Halo 5. If it's a game, I think it's either Bungie's new IP or the new X-Men game coming out...both of which are called "Destiny"

I'm leaning more towards Bungie...on the gaming side I'd really love it if it turned out to be Assassin's Creed related, but it doesn't really look that way to me. :/

Still PRAYING on my hands and knees this is Bungie related. I dont even care if it's Halo anymore. It's super cool whatever it's for and Im having a blast! The design of the rooms, some of the 5gum commercials, make me lean toward Halo for obvious reasons that have been discussed Im sure. Wet dream if Bethesda and Bungie were to do something together. We shall see!

I bet it is going to be something completely original, maybe bungie's new game, maybe not. But either way i think it will be a game that we have not heard of before.

I think if it's all about 5 Gum, then there could be a new flavor called "Elektra" based on the name of Gerald Traelek and his institute.

Hey the XMen thing kinda makes sense! That big main room kinda reminds of the cerebrus / danger room concepts... The facility may be shi'ar technology...... Enhancing senses may have something to do with the xfactor/gene.... Even Jack sorta looks like Professor X in disguise.... Anyone think that little girl might be Jean Grey?
Hmm check this link...

Ive also seen a 5gum ad with bold letters inside of a message that spells destiny.

Uhh...Elektra, 5 Gum, and XMen... what is this? http://www.5xmutantgum.com/mutants/view/86cf0df4de
ETA: Guess this is a promotion that didn't make it to Canada. But they were putting codes in 5 gum for the movie; anyone looked to see if the codes are similar or anything?

assassins creed anime, possibly, assassins creed is all about the senses and surviving the future to come, with high tech equipment from "Atlantis" (our predecessors) icefly could be 1 of them =o, and the facility could be the beginning of the gene therapy for the machine to read (go back in time) in Assassins creed (i forgot the name of it), and right now the facility is maturing into it by starting with senses?

And Who says Jean Grey isnt/wasnt deaf? She can read minds and doesnt need hearing. The girl even mentioned mind reading when the professor tried to test her on it.

No, Abstergo would be all over this.
Besides they already have their own ARG (abstergoindustries.com)

Just cause we havent seen mention of abstergo already doesn't mean its not ac. I mean, how many weeks did ILB run before people realised 'its for halo'?
I dunno, im still feelin asscreed cause of the design of the constallation keyes and the whole.. elitest selection process the tralek institute seems to have in place. 'best and brightest' kind of ordeal- something the templar would BOLO for, i think.
then again this could be for xmen or hell, halo4. there's no telling yet.
however it seems some of the ground folks at SDCC got a few of the puppets to squeal. they wouldnt say anything at first but they got to chatting andt hey did confirm one thing- this isnt about gum.
I can't begin to express how relieved I am.

Well, I'm gonna see it through no matter what. IF (and I think it's a big if) this is about anything other than 5gum, then they should start revealing it. I have already thrown down some coin on a lot of gum...anything else that wants to tie into this most likely will not get that sort of monetary attention from me.

Just saw a trailer for Final Destination 5... they used the same font for the 5 as 5 gum.
I do not think it is for this movie though.
