I am 90% certain that the North Kingdom website is OOG. Their Twitter page has over ten thousand followers, which would be pretty impressive for an ARG -related twitter page. Battle of the Cheetos and the Vodafone Netguys were real events that happened this year.

If someone wants to give their phone number a call, be my guest, but it's long-distance (located in Sweden) from where I am.

Why the Jackbox website has linked to them, I have no idea.

I just tried emailing the admin link to see if that gets anything rolling. I'll update if I get a response. It was nice of them to put in the optimized for bit since I've been using firefox and missed the central pane.. anyone find anything interesting in there?

The Jack-in-the-box isn't a standard square box but rather a pentagonal box top. This pentagon shape is also on the faces of the D12 gaming die and the dodecahedron model that the man (actor Ryan Eggold) is holding in the video clip. I've done some searching and Daybreak is a web series of five episodes sponsored by AT&T. The only connection to Touch seems to be Tim Kring and the dodecahedron shape that shows up in the last three episodes of Touch.

I think both shows will cross-promote each other but they seem to have two separate mythologies.

One of the points of trivia regarding the dodecahedron shape is that physicists think the universe is shaped like one.

I can't see this as spoilery but here is some additional background on the web series. http://www.att.com/gen/landing-pages?pid=22871

Jack Boxers has changed http://findthetruth.jackboxers.com/

Before, it had been S1137 at the 'log in', which apparently isn't required anymore.

The first post is

Quote:


S20
Today is an auspicious day. For centuries we have been fighting against the forces of darkness. Hidden on the periphery and in the shadows, away from the public eye, we have fought to preserve our freedom, our destiny, our rightful evolutionary path. But today, the battle can remain secret no more.
...







I don't think it's S20 but rather 528 [May 28], the date of the 1st news article. I saw it before as 53112 which is the 1st episode date. Let's see if it updates the number with the next posting. I like "1137" as 1/137 is the fine structure constant and the inverse being 137 is one of my favorite numbers that I was introduced to back in the FlashForward series. Had anyone cracked the password before it opened itself?

Edit: I now think the number is related to the image number (528) of the dodecahedron.

One of the search tags is

which would suggest AT&T.

I don't think anyone actually cracked the password no, it just opened that night as I refreshed the page. Doing a twitter search for #daybreak2012 and #jackboxers shows that the little guys are already tagged in places, presumably for the

app that will be announced with the first ep after Touch.


Edit: Though perhaps they were expecting someone to, but no one did and they just ended up revealing it because time was running out til the premiere.

Site Update

Not much other than that. Perhaps start locating jackboxers to be ready for the next missive.

One of the tags is for Stockholm STHLM

Although the Jack Boxers site opened on 5/28 we have two more connections for the number 528 perhaps. First, with the new image numbers today it appears the dodecahedron image is identified as image number 528. Image 22's description describes a signal at that location is at 528Hz. Perhaps the dodecahedron emits the 528Hz signal in the storyline.

Edit: OK, YouTube has a lot of material on 528Hz as relating to meditation and we have also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solfeggio_frequencies , one of which is 528Hz.

Some sites say the frequency of 528hz (C) has the ability to heal DNA and is the scale of God.

If image #03's location is NYC, then we have image #22's as TO and image #09's as STHLM. Could these be Toronto and Stockholm respectively?

I think they took down the location pictures, I can't seem to find them anymore. False start perhaps? Though one comment mentions the answers lie in the dodecahedron, so on the right trail at least.

I noticed that comment as well. The dodecahedron plays a central role in the mythology. Notice that the counted objects in your post above is 528. I saw it while it was up on the JB site.

On one site (the wikipedia site I linked to above) the Solfeggio Frequency of 528 resolves to a value of 6. The number 66.6 is also in your posting above although there might not be any relevence. And no, I'm not trying to resurrect the Slaughterhouse into this topic, lol.

The Jack Boxers site has new updates, including a photo of the Jack-in-the-Box.

JB Whiskers' comment was "See the light."

The other photo was of Samuel F. B. Morse (Morse code) and I've noticed that Sarah Roemer's character's name is Sarah Morse. Related perhaps within the mythology? I'd guess as much.

I have not figured the audio file of Morse code yet but it seems to have SOS in the middle portion perhaps.
