K guys, I'm sure that you've all heard of the show Lost. I've mentioned it many times before. Anyway, there is an online game thats been goin on for about 3 weeks called The Lost Experience. Well this isnt your typical net game. Its called an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) and it involves sifting through game related websites, commercials, movies, phone numbers, even published books for information on lost. You must follow clues given to you by someone named Persephone. The journey starts at www.thehansofoundation.com. For those of you fans who dont pay too close attention, The Hanso Foundation (THF) is the company running the Dharma Initiative. For those of you that REALLY dont pay attention. Dharma is the octogonal symbol found on just about everything in the show Lost. Im gonna post new clues and secrets as I find them. For those of you that want to do this on your own, dont read past this.
First you must go to the newsletter sign up page on the THF website. type in anything and you will get a message from Persephone. She will ask you for a password. If you dont know what it is, type in anything and she will tell you to call the hanso system. If your too lazy to figure the number out for yourself. its. 1-877-HANSORG. This will take you to a machine that tells you 1- general info, 2- Alvar Hanso, 3- Dr. whatever his name is, 4- Hugh McIntyre, 5- Peter Thompson. I recommend listening to all of them but the most important one is number 1. Persephone will hack the system and tell you that the password is Breaking Strain. Once you type this in to the newsletter sign up page, you will get a cool movie thing showing you that you are now signed in. This is your first step on finding out about the corruption inside the Hanso. I'll give you one more hint for today. I changed my mind, ill give you a one or two secrets every day to keep up suspense. There are several things you can do from here, but i recommend going to the Joops Corner first. Send a message to joop. Not sure if it means anything or not but if you look closely at the "live" webcam feed, you will see a face in the picture. Apparently (i havent tried this yet for myself, but ive heard from some other people) if you print out the page without altering anything, you will see clear face in the cam that some speculate is the med guy from the mental health project. Anyway, send the message to joop. If you tried this before contacting Persephone, you will know that it just times out. Well now that your logged in it will work. Joop will get angry and you will have to do a weird connect the dots puzzle thing. Once you finish this, sit back and enjoy persephones data that she found. I just realized this weekend im gonna be gone so i guess the next post will be on Tuesday. Good luck till then!
