Same here... Sad

Maintenance is a possibility; perhaps they found out that many players had access to things they weren't supposed to see yet, and they are now busy changing things.

It can also be part of the game (the kidnappers found out about the 'save my husband' site, and crashed every site that might compromise them), although that seems unlikely. Confused

Honestly, I think the game producers are handling a bad mistake that happened early on in the best manner possible. What problems were they confronted with, and how did they react?

People thought it was real
Solution: the game creators first put up disclaimers on all associated webpages explaining that this was part of their 8-Day Mystery Challenge. They modified videos to include disclaimers. And recently they added disclaimers to their skyscraper advertisements.

People viewed puzzles beforehand
Solution: make minor modifications to puzzles so this did not become an "unfair advantage" to those in the know. Passwords were changed, and even the rebus puzzle got modified. Thus, we can't tell for sure if the answer we figured out based on early investigations will stay the same.

People accessing production team / behind the scenes information
I would assume the current downtime is an effort to rectify this situation.

So while the production company behind the game did make a mistake, they handled things in the most professional way possible, as far as I can tell. Each response seems fairly logical to me, at any rate.
