I've only been able to access the game from work, which has no sound and rarely functions. At home, I'm having the same problem others have had.

I've also written Hoodlum to no response after three days.

We can say "The game has just started" (though the "game" started at Comicon nearly three weeks ago and the first test was a tiny little puzzle), but the thread has hit 80-some odd pages with a great deal of "Site isn't loading for me," and a good number of "The site isn't working AT ALL."

Three weeks of this, see? Three weeks with consistent glitches that - on their own, players could look past and still enjoy - are the only thing we're seeing. It's frustrating because these are so many of the same problems that Find815 was having. You'd think they'd have learned, and they didn't.

The site is not prepared for us to play, they seem to be doing crazy stuff with Flash that not everyone can use... in general, they're not being very capable as puppetmasters.

well, the site finally works. At least for now. ~~Does anyone else find that it's not giving you a score??~~

edit: ah! i see now!! it doesn't score you until you finish it, and it uses the time as a score. so, the highest score you could possible get is 100, but that would mean that you're a genius. This test is insane.

It seems that someone has found a glitch in the game. There are reports of people getting a score of 900.

I don't know if this will help others, but I was having problems with loading the site and I ended up doing two things to fix it:

* I'm running FlashBlock, so I had to temporarily disable it (or, more specifically, I added the DWY site and the numeric IP address it is pointing to for Flash files to the whitelist.)
* I had to do a force-refresh with Cmd-Shift-R as opposed to the regaular Cmd-R

I had to do this for several recent site updates (the test, the "coming soon" type message, and the scrambled "hacked" letters.) It's become enough of a repeatable pattern that I thought I'd share.
