You guys seem pretty on top of this!


I have my Twitter account setup to send me a text whenever the @MOUTH_TAPED_SHUT account sends anything out. Today's clues were pretty easy too. Smile

I just posted in the admin/general forum asking to get this thread's title updated to say that it's for Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. You'd never know just by the Comes Forth... title and I bet a bunch more people would be interested if they knew! Most of the clue hunting and puzzle solving is happening in the comments for each individual picture that's posted to the ARG's site. Would be nice to have it all centralized here; they haven't all been as easy as today!

Good call. I hope we get some more exposure for this so that we can contribute. The Paris drop is at the bench across the street from a Starbucks on Boulevard Saint-Germain.

Edit: Title has been changed! Awesome!

Edit again: The Orlando item has been found.

No one on the tumblr site has indicated that they found the item in Florida or were even going after it. I wonder who got it.

Yeah, it is taking less than an hour, sometimes two for the items to be found. There is a really large following on twitter and on the tumblr site. Hopefully we'll get some drops today and somebody on here will be close.

New picture just went up. There are numbers on the bottome of a picture in the pic. 06:15:21:14:04 It's hard to see but I think that's it. Hmmm...

Beat me to it . . .

COME TO MINNESOTA! It's not far. I could get the Minneapolis one easy if they post it. I'm at school right now so some of the sites are blocked but I've managed to use proxy's to get into most of them. So keep posting things that come from the twitter or comesforthinthethaw.com because I can't get into those :/

Yep. Common theme between them all is a clock...

They're numbered via photo tag, here they are in proper order:

1 - http://mouth-taped-shut.com/post/12288720114

2 - http://mouth-taped-shut.com/post/12288724179

3 - http://mouth-taped-shut.com/post/12288716940

The clocks in the pics show times of 1:50, 2:45, 3:40, & 5:45 if i'm looking at them right. There is also 1417 on the train and hedestad on the sign. Hedestad doens't work.

Edit: Possibly 4:40 instead of 3:40.

The big debate is whether to read the number the hour hand is pointing to or read it like a real clock. Given that the hands were photoshopped, there is strong evidence that we should read the numbers that the hands point to. Which would be...
3:45
6:45
2:50
4:40

It also seems like #2 is the same clock tower from the other day: http://mouth-taped-shut.com/post/12227718408

Maybe that time in important too.
