See... This is what I find highly annoying about these 'games' and what takes the fun out of them. If we were s'posed to have hacked any of this stuff; there would have been hints to do so. - From what I've known of any ERA/ARG at least.

Where are the hints we're s'posed to do this?

I second this. I think it takes the fun out of them. There isn't any reason to know this stuff early, it doesn't really add to anything, it just takes away from the fun and surprises.

But, hey, to each their own. Many people think it's fun to hack the site and find stuff, and I don't blame them. I can easily ignore those posts.

Thirded. Although i find hacking highly amusing, it takes the fun out of the entire thing if we know everything before it's released to us.

I am not asking for HINTS to go through the game just a little tip to see how he got what he got when I have more than 80 files and I can't get all that ... you see that's my fun ... looking through thousand lines of code to get something (most of the time uninteresting) ... Now I NEVER EVER SPOIL other people pleasure by posting what I find other than in a little place I have where it is indicated everywhere that the content could be spoilerish . my post here is only asking the guy for some help and is not addressed to people playing the game sorry for any inconvenience caused .

ETA : I only posted because I found no other way to contact the man , I wanted to send him a PM but darwinduck isn't registered , I then went to see if he's hosting the images on his own webspace but the pics are just a public file hosting service , so the only solution left was to post a direct question .

No need to apologize! I can't speak for everyone else, but I can for me, and I completely understand how it could be fun. I didn't mean to be acusing. I can just as easily skip over those posts. I know lots of people like to 'hack' the site, and people are free to do as they please.

Hmm... I'm completely stumped as to where to put MATTHEW. I tried putting it into the web browser. Yeah, long shot, and nothing happened. There really aren't any other text-input boxes on the site. I fathomed "inviting a friend", and saying his name was matthew, but that seemed like an even longer shot.

Just a note, I don't know if anybody has said this yet, but the items that you pack into the bag in the flash game are all found on Sam's desk on FInd815.com.

Could some help me with the 1st puzzle in chapter 1?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The photo of the girl?


I have:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Black Rock (mole)
Christiane I (eye)
Sundan Trench (eye)



Then I'm stuck.

EDIT: More spoiler tags added and puzzle solved.

The last one is high on the forehead, by where the bangs meet the other hair.

I'm not sure about this, but I'm thinking that they accidentally released the game too early. It doesn't really fit in with the story we have so far. That's my only guess. I think we have to wait until later.

Yeah sorry... I didn't mean to come across as a dick I was speaking for myself and nobody else; and wasn't throwing accusations around at anyone in particular [INCLUDING The hackers in this particular case]

I just personally feel if there's no actual need within the game to hack, we shouldn't hack; if anything just the fact it's ILLEGAL to do so and can ruin the whole game for everyone else [in fact I'm pretty sure there's a rule against it generally within ARG's/ERA's]. I dabble in a little bit of hacking/cracking/ciphering/phreaking myself; and I've seen PM's halt their games completely due to that kind of action - And I'm sure everyone will agree that being this is ABC a big freakin' company... They'll go a little further than just to say "I'm slapping you on the wrist for hacking my ARG/ERA"

Just food for thought, sorry if I came across like a 'old grumpy man'

Happy New Year everyone! Just now getting caught up to this...

I managed to take a brief moment out to check out flyoceanicair last night and saw the "interruption" of the video - and some posts here said they were going to get screen caps, etc...

Has this been posted somewhere? I didn't get a chance to see what the guy was saying, and the "interruption" isn't happening anymore...

All videos released by this ARG have been uploaded to YouTube. Just search for "Find 815".

I do not mind if you post spoilers here, but please mark your spoilers with the proper tags. Thanks.

And yeah, i also agree that the game was probably released way too early. Companies that do ARGs really need to realize that timing is just as important as content in ARGs.
