I have been to the whatistheorangebox.com website as well as EA's game page but not a single green X to be found on either one. Any suggestions?


Have you found it yet? I could not find it either and finally gave up on it last night. But, I still can't find it today.

 		No haven't found it. I was almost going to say that they forgot to update whatistheorangebox.com but looking at the score board there are peopel who have found an answer to that question.

The way this game works is you have to find a certain webpage and there a single word will have a green X in it. We've found a couple of Orange Box related pages but none of them have any green Xs. That's the problem..

 		Ok, I can not find the Beaches one. I feel really mentally challenged at this point. I have found 2 other X's on the sight that have yet to be used but I cannot find today's! I have been all over the page for Ideal Vacations for all Ages and I can't see an X anywhere! Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Click on the Beaches rotating ad that shows up on the xmarksthespot page. Then search for that other line "fun for kids of all ages" or sth. it's in a menu on the left. The page that shows up next has the green X.

 		Holy stupidity. It was in front of me all along. It was just too obvious so I kept overlooking it. At least I've already found a couple other X's for when those clues are released!

I still haven't gotten the Half Life one either. That's the only one I'm still trying to figure out...

 		You're welcome......

EDIT: Okay finally got #11. The hint is broken. It should say HL2: Episode 2, and the word does NOT have a green X. Instead it's a white X. You are allowed up to 20 guesses per clue- good luck.

 		Well the clue (the hl2 one) is "fixed". But the answer doesn't work. Also I looked up and down the trixie interview with that anchorman retard., and found nothing. :/

This game sucks so far.

That only took a few minutes. If there is a long text just view the HTML and search for "greenx". Don't bother watching any videos.

 		Maybe it's just me but just posting all the answers seems wrong. It's not like missing a puzzle negatively impacts the story line and if you really are curious then the solution will be posted next morning anyway. But giving people a free pass for a contest..nah.

What do you mean by that? They are not going to change the format for the next 33 days.
