It looks extremely amateurish. No ARG i've seen announces that it's a trailhead.

I would have to agree, though the idea of a lost expedition is a good one.

Signed-up.

Can anyone identify the third from last glyph on the Guidesnote page? I found the Unicode equivalents for all the others.

╪╒╘╝╡⌐┼ ⌡≡ ∩▫ ≈�

256A 2552 2558 255D 2561 2310 253C 2321 2261 2229 e802 e801 ? 2248 2021

And... Is [redacted] a character or did the author make a faux pas?

ETA: Additional characters from the source of the password page:

Would you believe I looked at the stinkin' picture and didn't even notice the name? Embarassed

Not making sense of the missing glyph.

To get to the sign-up, go through the first password round ("!" link and "!apw0rD" password) and select the "7764 041 307" link when it activates. The password for that link is "themis".

2 more clicks and you're there.

OK I signed up and got the same message about craigslist. I will watch and help when I can. Not sure what to think about this. They seem to be going out of their way to make sure we know this is a game.

Nuthin' for craigslist.

The only other thing that seems like it might be a lead is the one link titled, "7764 041 307" which seems like it could be a phone number (backwards) but doesn't go anywhere (Your call cannot be completed as dialed).
The 703 area code is for Axexandria VA, which is very near to DC and is where Mreklektik appears to hail from.

All of this supposes he's set himself up as a character and is not a player further into it all than we are just throwing random, coded hints out to the IG fora (that he seems to have created). Hard to tell and hard to gauge how much to share about someone who may only be a player. Proceed with caution.
