Discover Westworld
sexy robots on HBO

Pretty slick site tied into HBO's upcoming Westworld series:

http://discoverwestworld.com

There's a sign-up and an "Access Code" box, plus pretty video and pictures.

One 'hidden' thing I found:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you click and hold on the logo on the Welcome page, you'll see a ominous, glitchy version of the page with what look like comments from PR people, maybe.


And be sure to read the Terms and Conditions

Hi. Cheers everyone. I'm not a regular ARG participant but I do love to dabble in JJ Abrams ARG's and some of the 42 games from back in the day. So here I am.

I haven't posted in years but I as well saw the Westworld page today and noticed a few things that I thought were worth mentioning.

If you Zoom out as far as your View will let you and then Press and Hold the Mouse over the Westworld logo on the top of the page you can see the entire monitor of "someone's" computer. Which contains more of the red writing and other little things as well.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On the Top of the "monitor" there is a an .html file listed.
ww_delos_revisions_v6402_he.html


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
File Name on left hand side of "monitor".
DELOS_REV
v6502



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is also a Username listed on the left hand side of the "monitor". I can't make out the exact characters as it is very small but these are my best guesses.

Login
User
SC46TK63 or SC48TK83

EDIT - upon further inspection whilst Pressing and Holding Shift there is a REF# that pops up and it reads.

REF#SC48TK03

There is some pretty neat stuff happening on this site.

Press and Hold down the Shift Key and fun things happen.

Lots of "clues" and dead ends afoot people.

Let the fun begin.

The full 'hidden' shot of the monitor won't show up all the way for me using Safari -- I had to go to Chrome to get that left side stuff to show up.

And yea, I discovered the bit that happens when you hit the Shift key:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
More glitch and fuzz, plus a voice saying (I think) "You should go. Leave. Can't you see? [something] is empty. And all the devils are here!"

I managed to catch the flash of numbers in the glitches:
REF# SC48TK03 (same as on the hidden monitor menu)
Delos ID: 232558

plus some random flashes of computer code


EDIT: two additional thoughts:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1) I wonder if we're supposed to guess a url or something. The hidden monitor menu shows paths labeled "Index" "Log" "Access" and "Media" but I couldn't get anything to work. Plus the 404 page is kinda weird.

2) The source code shows that there is a long quiz that seems to ask a bunch of questions to potential Westworld clients, but obviously the quiz isn't coded yet to appear on the site.


Finally, it's annoying that the site doesn't seem to remember that I've registered my email.

Here are the direct links to the "glitch" video files:

Hold-Shift Glitch video: https://www.discoverwestworld.com/video/ww_glitch_test_v10_6sec_he.mp4

Hold-Logo Glitch loop: https://www.discoverwestworld.com/video/ww_glitch_delos_v10_he_pc.mp4

Alternate Mobile version of Hold-Logo Glitch loop: https://www.discoverwestworld.com/video/ww_glitch_delos_v09_he_mobile2k.mp4


As previously transcribed in this thread, here is a screencap of the only readable "glitch" frame from either video:

Checking this out for the first time. Seems really intriguing.

Sorry for the double post, but if you check the pages source code, you'll see some strange things.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"This is no theme park. The action is real. The blood is real. The only person truly safe is you."


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING."


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
No judgments. No questions. Just infinite choices. We offer complete discretion. Fall in love, or plunge into lust. In Westworld, there are no safe words.

People are by nature selfish at core, corruption comes from within.

^^ That's great!!

Have you received a confirmation email from Delos yet? I received mine a few minutes after I entered my email address in the box.

Check junk mail

My confirmation was filed away under spam so I had to go retrieve it and mark it as "friendly" Smile

Yep, I got the confirmation email telling me that I was being considered and would be contacted if eligible.

I guess the point is to wait until this next step happens.

Has anyone found the access code? there is a comment at the very end of the main page source. It does not work directly. Been trying also the info hidden in the shift and mouse clicks.

Hrmm, that's different from the comment that was there in the source code when I first looked at it a couple of days ago. I don't have my notes any longer so I don't remember what it was -- started with a 7 maybe?

Aha! Got it, thanks to Google's cached version.

On Aug 17th, the comment at the bottom was this:
