OK then, about the joke in the source thing, talks about steaks, and on that site... http://carniceriaguzmam.com/
there are different things on the boards, one being ham... but the bottom one is steaks,

the writing underneath it means this when translated, although i couldnt translate that word with the accent

meat of all tamanos and for all the pleasures......

GAME SUMMARY

[Mr. X]

When I get a chance tonight I'll post a transcript of the Spanish radio.

I think the best that I can make up with that sign is Hospedaje de Alegria Aleman, essentially the Alegria Aleman's Hostel. It yielded nothing for me on Google.

It could also read something like Alexa Aleman, as in a person's name, but that yielded nothing as well.

I tried Arpa, even though it doesn't look like it is the word because it's Spanish for Harp as in Guinness' logo. It was used already in one site, but it could definitely appear again.

Searching hospedaje and carnicería brings up Guzmam's link in the Google ads. Just carnicería doesn't. So I think the two might be linked. Similarly I think that there are other unused clues so far. The Federico III restaurante y confitería wasn't used for that clue. Assuming these are all shots within "the village" maybe all of these people and buildings tie together.

Don't know if any of that helps, just stuff I've been mulling over today.

edited due to a translation error. Aleman alegre would be happy German. Alegria Aleman would be a woman's name.

I just put in "toppling festival" into google and game up with this site:

Re: Are you lost?

What attracted me to this whole thing was that I work in advertising and I think this is a bit of clever advertising. I'm new to the concept of ARG, but it does seem pretty cool.

I think we're in for a bit of a wait. Guinness has used the strapline "Good things come to those who wait" in many, many ads in the last few years. We've seen it appear a few times in this game.

I think the key here is that it isn't like the other ARG's that I've browsed here. It's an advertisement first and foremost. I tend to think that this didn't just appear at random. By that I mean I think that the timing plays into something else, a larger marketing platform. It might have to do with Halloween and something else Guinness has going on.

Here's a quote from the team behind it.
