ARG: Pandora Next Next

As I reported yesterday on Deaddrop.us, Pandora Next is relaunching on December 22. Today, the PM posted a puzzle on the main website. Let the games begin (again)!

I don't have time to do it now, but if anyone wants to pick up the ball for me, I'm pretty sure the method is...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Put your fingers on the home keys. Move in direction indicated by movement of objects. If it flashes, that means press the home key itself. Make sense?

I have sent a message as well. I'll respond when I get a response back from the gentleman.

Is there any backstory that I should know about before jumping into this game?

Reply from Zeke

I got an email back from Zeke:
Quote:

To our volunteers,

This e-mail must, by necessity, remain brief. I want to first thank each of you for your willingness to offer your assistance. You will soon learn that your faith in Pandora Next has not been misplaced. Not only that, you will learn the most closely gaurded secret in the history of the world. I cannot go into details via this e-mail, but with any luck, nobody can trace this message, though we have a transcription log that says otherwise...but that is not your concern. The Director's and I will handle the IT department, whilst each of you will be split into teams according to your skills. The following is a brief description of each of the three teams.

Media Analysis Team:
Your job will be to analyze media we provide you from our outside sources. Whether its steganography, image, sound, or video analysis, it will be your job to analyze the files, and send us a full report.

Encryption Team:
Your job is to decrypt the files we provide you with, as well as work hand in hand with both the Media Analysis Team and the Research team to discover possible cyphers, encryption schemes, or patterns.

Research Team:
Your job will be to research given topics and offer full reports to both us, as well as the Media Anlysis team. You will recieve job requests from them, as well as us, and should make it a priority to get that information as soon as possible.

Those are the teams. An application will be mailed to each of you soon, and you should complete it with as much speed as possible. Again, I offer the thanks of all the Directors at Pandora Next, and look forward to working with you.

Zeke Hornsby,

Director
Pandora Next

I received the same email in my inbox this morning.
I think its time we get ourselves organized.

I got the e-mail as well. Can someone point me to a resource to get caught up on the plot of the last Pandora Next game(s)?

I'm up to date as far as the email, but just to understand, could someone explain with a little more detail how to solve the animated gif thing, i.e. what keys map to what objects and so on.. Thanks...

Ok, well there are quite a few things for all you who need to get up to speed. First off disregard anything that happened in the old plot. I asked the PM if we should, he replied, "forget it". I even deleted the old posts from IU on his behalf. But if you care to know what happened look here. This information is no longer valid though. And expect the wiki to be updated with new info shortly. We have a chatroom set up at #pandoranext. And I highly encourage you to read the chat on ARGInsider for what to expect here.

See you in chat!

thanks for the info, NashCarey. Much appreciated.

edit: I'm betting not too many people will sign up for the research team from the e-mail, but that's what I'm doing. I'm currently working towards my masters in Library Science, so I might be of some use there Smile

edit again: assuming we get to choose a team and aren't assigned anyway.

The animated gif was set up so the blue keys represent the left hand and the four fingers used to type, red being the right hand. Following the way the objects move is the direction you would move your fingers to type the letters. In resting position,
Stars = A and ;
Squares = S and L
Triangles = D and K
Circles = F and J

I see it now, thanks for clarifying it.. As far as the teams, maybe I'll also go into research or encryption. I think there's supposed to be some kind of test so we'll see..
