[Local ARG?] whatarethe3things

http://www.whatarethe3things.com/

This sites Main banner has been appearing on bill boards through out the lower tide water area. I saw at least one in every city this week ( i do alot of driving for work)

Looks like we have to guess what the 3 things are. The admin of the site replies to each of the posts on guesses and lists the ones that are not correct.

Maybe there is some corelation to the ones that are not correct, categorely?


I Thought i would post this thing. It looks and feels like an ARG. Using Real life bill boards to adverrtise a website with a cryptic message, and then this website which is obviously covert in its meaning. Hope some one can figure it out.

this is definitely an advertisement for something. a " hype Generator".

but i did get an Email.

it appears to be back up, with your comment still there. I guess you didn't cause too much trouble (yet)

Its definatly a game, but Im not sure its an ARG. Mysterious Game != ARG.

It may be an ARG, though.

Maybe something on a smaller scale. sense the bill boards are only here in the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Cheseapeke area of Virginia.

this is the first time i have ever seen something like this in the area.


the guest book is still down for me for some reason.

This is most unusual for Virginia. We never get anything like this.

In case anyone cares, It turned out (like 2 weeks ago) to be a hype generator for a local radio station (and a pretty good one at that)
