Hmmm, I wonder if my webcam is funky. When I try the Sleep Superbly trial, the camera keeps flickering, and it doesn't register my blinks. I'll have to try it on another computer. Anyone having issues getting it to work on a Macbook integrated webcam?

Yeah, it's pretty much a useless endeavor on my Macbook. I tried three browsers. It asks for permission to use my webcam, but then never does. I was starting to wonder if it was just for show...? I don't know.


Also, as to the swag, I don't know about you guys, but I came away with a crapload of stuff because of Dexter GameOn. Granted I was at Comic-Con, and lots of it was related not to the Kill Room but the game on SCVNGR (which led to the kill room), but I'm just saying. I got a couple of things from the Kill Room and I saw them giving away a third thing that I missed but I already had it, sooo there you go. I am now one season 4 DVD richer, among other things. There was also a point where they were giving out Sleep Superbly sleep masks, which I thought was hilarious because at that point I think the statistical odds of anyone having gotten that far in the game yet and walking by that exact place were really slim.

I think this looks great! I'm excited about this one and the whole idea of crowdsourcing catching a serial killer. I love mysteries so this should be fun.

Serialhuntress shows an update planned for today. She is going to be posting an online video briefing - I didn't see what time, but it will be sometime today.

I looked at their forums. I just don't have time to try to post in two places. Usually a game will end up focusing on one forum or another. It would be good if important posts from that forum--from serialhuntress or other characters-- got copied here

I had my brother try it on an Alienware laptop using Firefox, and he had little trouble getting it to recognize his blinks. For the record, I was using Firefox when I tried it as well. After he took the trial, the avatar gave a little monologue suggesting that he continue to try, and it seemed like there was a garbled bit of audio that neither of us could make out. Probably not important, but worth mentioning.

 Webcam

Hi all,

First time poster.... loooong time lurker. Just wanted to let you know I got the webcam trial to work on the site. I had to hold my web cam in front of my face like a handmirror for it to register my blinks, but it works. The trial gives you a 9 or 10 questionnaire regarding your relationships, sleep habits, and dream content.

It gives your sleeper type at the end, and general sleep tips. I wish I would have saved my results to paste here. I can't seem to get it a second time. I was hoping there was a way you could save the results, but I didn't see anything at the time.

I don't have a Facebook account. Has anyone linked their account yet? I'd love details.

Thanks,
Cat

Man, it's been ages since I've done ANY ARGs, but a Dexter one? I'm SO in. Very Happy

I linked my Facebook account to Sleep Superbly. The avatar woman said my name during the session - creepy XD Gonna poke around and see if I can find anything.

EDIT: The video posted on F8 (Fate?)'s account isn't working for me....

EDIT AGAIN: I am having some major scrolling issues on both the success stories and F8's page. D:

EDIT YET AGAIN: just received an email - I got into the premium access beta! But the passcode they provided just gets me back to F8's profile. Lamesauce.

@Saki - the video on F8's account is important, so maybe try another browser. Also, yes, the passcode for the premium beta takes you straight to F8's page.

Here is a summary of what's been found so far:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Another way to get to F8's video is by trying the demo on the site and then clicking the "Exit Demo" button. You will get a message from the killer and it will take you to an account for a user named F8. The account has a video where a man describes what seems to be the San Diego kill. In F8's video, there's a reflection in the glasses that shows a twitter account. The name on the account is "urnameurlife". His twitter has a riddle. You need to request for him to follow you. Once he does, DM him the answer to the riddle and he will send you a link to an audio file. The audio seems to be a recording of the San Diego kill.


Today, SerialHuntress released some photos of the body before the police took it away. The hands have some interesting cuts on them. I'm thinking it's some kind of code or cypher. There's a star before the last 3 letters. Possibly it translates to a website with the star translating to a period and the last 3 fingers translating to "com"?

Here are images of the fingers:

I'm hoping some of you code breakers can help crack this (if it is indeed a cypher)

This reminds me, I have a video of the kill room that I put on the youtube.

I caution anybody that it includes a spoiler, but if you want to avoid the spoiler and just see a video, you can, you know, just mute it:



YouTube: Link


Also I agree that it seems like it's some sort of cipher. I liked the phone number thing, but someone on the Serial Huntress site seems to have tested it out and not found anything. The placement of the actual cuts has me thinking it's not just a number. Auuugh. This stupid thing is just what I needed. Let's combine Dexter, which I already spend 85% of my time thinking about anyway, with alternate reality gaming, which has been known to turn me into a zombie in the past.

I was thinking the * may be a multiplication symbol...
