I noticed an ad at the top of the ARGN page for what looks to be a new self-announced game.

 		Clicked on the big door... Then found out you can click on the guy's eye. This next page I'm stuck at. http://www.throughtheeyesofmadness.com/H3.htm
but here is a list of images on his website.

If this other riddle game I'm playing wasn't bugging the crap out of me, I'd dig further. Plus Trapped part 2. is starting in a few hours.

 		nice find. Trying to figure out what all that junk means right now. It all seems so random. Why do they always try to make me use my brain? It is just not fair.

EDIT: Add 2 words before "the big screen". I wonder what those 2 words would be.

 		Heck, I have no idea. We just found some random stuff so far. All of them have been linked to in this thread. I'll probably poke around some more later today.

 		I might have found something
The source of the first clue page says it IS a rabbithole Smile

Just a starter (maybe)
The clues are left in the picture http://www.throughtheeyesofmadness.com/H3.htm
If click "the book" link at the top of the page youll get a page with a picture, click the picture and youll get a journal entry: http://www.throughtheeyesofmadness.com/PDFpage.htm?GID=TCT

the entry has a chapter called "A grown mans dream" which might refer to "the madmans dream" clue. The story speaks of him dreaming about living on a small island in the south china sea. (scroll about halfway down to find it)
From the home page http://www.throughtheeyesofmadness.com click the brick picture with the number 1 above it and youll get a login page where you need to enter 2 passwords.
http://www.throughtheeyesofmadness.com/Gate1.htm

My guess is you need to enter the 2 clues here. I havent found anything refering to the "drink of choice clue" yet.
Ive been trying to search for a name to "the small island in the south china sea" (which is btw a weird way to say it, isnt it "south chinese sea"?

Interestingly, I found the same ad here:

http://books.google.com/books?id=M7VwtUa2TYAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:Dave+inauthor:Szulborski&sig=yHl6xQK6G4GLfCihhtFJ1wj1EuA#PPP1,M1

Irony, no? XD

Found the same ad at http://books.google.com/books?id=M7VwtUa2TYAC down on the bottom.

Looking at the site, the artwork style is remarkably similar to The Wish Comic, for those who enjoyed Chasing the Wish 2.
So, it seems Dave's started a new game and has curteously let us know.

I know Dave is also involved in www.theeggmovie.com (mentioned on the forums here)and is either involved in or has borrowed heavily from www.incunabula.org, but I don't know if either of these are a part of this game (or vise versa).


So far it looks interesting. I definitely plan only looking into this further.

I am quite confident that Dave would not post his own trailhead here.

No it is the South China Sea:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea

The only problem with that is that there are literally hundreds of small islands in the South China Sea.

Didn't I read somewhere recently that a famous PM was looking for someone who could speak Chinese? Might be related...

 		read the chapters
Ive been mulling over the entrire site and found some interesting things. If you go through the /images directory theres many images there which contain followup clues to the other doors. So we can be sure now its a game Smile
secondly, if you check out the guestbook there are some clues there too, and it looks like my first hunch that "the madmans dream" is an island is validated there. I still dont know what island though. There is a book called madman's island, but I dont know it, so couldnt tell if the island would be named in there. anyone?
There is also an island nicknamed the madmans island (hewick island), but that not in the south china sea, its in the great barrier reef on the coast of australia , so we can rule that one out.

I do get an idea though that more clues should be in the book excerpt, but i cant seem to get it clear. Anyone on that?

Oh and I did find an email adress, which seems like you have to use it once you opened the first door here:
http://throughtheeyesofmadness.com/Contact1.htm

I dropped a line to see if I get a response and if my assumption is right.

The text, artwork and secret code are all linked to a visually stunning website where readers can collaborate to decipher clues, unlock new chapters and extend the book beyond its pages once read.


Looks like it may be necessary to read the book.
