Well, the first facility used the Rain key, and had the marble pit from the Rain commercial, while the second uses Solstice, has the lava pit and iceberg; If you look at the gyroscope elevator, it says "Facility 1" and colored green, "Facility 2" is blue and red, both representing their respective flavors.

So, Swerve is third on the list. I think that gives us an idea of which commercials will be airing soon, considering the gum DID just come out, and as well as what commercial facility 3 will be based on.

EDIT: the achievements in each facility also mirror this.


Well, they've already aired Swerve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxsQx0OG5r0 So either the giant forest will be a room we can visit, or just observe like with the glacier.

...and continuing this theory. See the last constellation key? That's right. Cobalt. What commercial is this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67xsGLsay5M&feature=related Cobalt. What does it have in it? The icefly.


And perhaps it is in that last facility, that we'll finally see the icefly in the facility...or maybe even a whole hive, considering there are so many in that commercial.

 		Man, all out of facility keys. I wonder if there's a way to tell how many we'll need?

I blew my money on getting constellation keys, but I'm stupid and didn't re alize the facilities open every month.

so just wait until next month, see how many you need, and just buy that many. Maybe make a little savings account for "TSN FUNDS"

 		Question
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here and also my first ARG (though I don't think it's my last--I'm hooked on all the hidden clues and speculation!). I started following it about a week and a half ago, haven't gotten my badge or anything yet. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but it seems as good a place as any.

Does anyone know if you can mute the music that plays in the facility without changing the volume settings for the whole computer or application? Specifically, the lava game? The noises it makes are kind of annoying, and I'd like to listen to music while I do it if I could. Any answer would be appreciated! Very Happy

I've been wondering this myself for some time now, so thanks to you I finally discovered the initiative to go looking for one!

I use Google Chrome, which usually has some pretty slick gadget/plugin options. Apparently we weren't alone in thinking a tab-oriented volume control mechanism would be an awesome idea. Unfortunately, the only actual plugin I've found (MuteTab) that fits the bill mutes Flash entirely, meaning the entire program is shut down. I test this on SurvivalCode.com as well as Newgrounds. Youtube is different, but no less unsatisfactory; it simply pauses your video as if you had gone the normal route to pause it.

So as far as I can tell, such a magnificent thing doesn't exist yet, at least not for Chrome. You could always run the game in a separate browser and mute it using the Mixer function (assuming you're running Windows 7). I will say that sometimes when I have a headset plugged in or StereoMix is being particularly weird, a second Mixer option will open with a new Chrome window, allowing me to adjust separate volumes. I've not been able to manually replicate this, unfortunately.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If it's any comfort, the Chrome community seems to really want the devs to add such a feature, so it may be on its way soon.

 		Thanks for looking! I'm actually using firefox at the moment, but it seems like if any browser had such a feature, it would be Chrome. Here's hoping the devs roll that feature out soon!

Does anyone know of any years or dates anywhere, other than the /blameless article? I can't remember seeing any, and on the Star-Map Puzzle thread it was suggested the dates on the slider might be solstices. If we have a year somewhere, and the solstice dates fit, it could mean that year is important somehow.

It's probably nothing, but might be worth checking. This site's great for checking solstice dates:

 		Well the facility was named after Solstice which also ties into the seasons. Perhaps they created that particular puzzle because of its name?

I was thinking of a TV aired commercial, though this just looks like it was aired online.
But it's good idea of what it'll look like.
Following this pattern, the facilities will have these inclusions:

A tunnel of juice surrounding you,
(No commercial for prism)
A lot of hairdryers,
The React facility, I think we all know that, and the Experience room from the promotion two years ago with the 3D glasses,
The Vortex water slide,
And of course the Cobalt chamber and/or gyrocraft

The only one's missing of course are the Lush citrus cannon, whatever the hell Prism would be, and the Zing bubble room, here in the US.

Well, I tried finding a normal commercial, but that was the only one that appeared, so they either haven't filmed the swerve commercial or they blew their commercial budget. But, yeah, I can't wait to see what they have in store for us for the other facilities.

 		Well if we do account for the commercials that are not in that channel. We still have lush and zing.

I am not sure why there is no commercial for prism though.

 		Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I can't think of a better place.

In Facility 1, when you input gum codes, and got a constellation key, you couldn't pick the order of the keys, the only option was the next key in line.

This morning I picked up a pack of icefly gum, and put in the code, and I was able to pick any of the constellation keys. I went ahead an picked the next one in line from my profile page, but it looks like things may have changed with regards to the constellation keys and obtaining them with codes.
