Jaziek Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 right... how to start... about 2 months ago a website appeared called http://www.vanishingpointgame.com.. this was a mysterious puzzling website which contained cyphers/codes ect, which people spent ages trying to crack.. 6 of the codes were cracked and much speculation was had ( http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s ... 93&st=1875 mainly here) as to what it was all about.. well, now microsoft has unveiled the whole thing.. just check it out for yourself... this is amazing http://www.vanishingpointgame.com -------------------------original post------------------------------- Allright, what the hell, im stumped http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/c ... fault.mspx Down there, at the bottom. http://vanishingpointgame.com/ Does nothing, just a timer. I've got a code, saved it, don't know what is up with this. Thought it was pretty bizarre. http://vanishingpointgame.com/ what is microsoft up to this time? can anybody work this out? (this might belong in tech and computers i dunno - thought it was kinda halfway between the OT and tech forums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verminox Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I tried putting the code in but the box isn't big enough for all of it. So do you have to try and crack the code so instead of random numbers, letters and charecters its a message? Edt: Do you mean this code: rpf6ncada34wget32-84kvezz1x6cfp0egnyvm32z3o6qj-o3ddwn3;u-loe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Can you explain for the people out there who wouldn't know what's going on. What this is all about? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katha610 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The vanishing point is the boundary between Something and Everything; between What Is and What Can Be. Fewer than a thousand people have ever been there to see the ultimate vista. The grand prize winner will be one of them. The race for that destiny will begin when the countdown hits zero. well, i have no idea but maybe there is another version of microsoft vista... edit: ok, i googled it.. leads me to:http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaziek Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Can you explain for the people out there who wouldn't know what's going on. What this is all about? :? there is a black box on the windows vista site which contains a code and a link to a website - if you go to that website there is a box to enter a code and a timer. (which runs out in about 1 and 1/2 days) the code on the vista site isnt right.. i need/want to crack it and wondered if anybody else had any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verminox Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Initial image - solved as wh0isl0ki Also solved as iw4nttwinyou Also solved as 3scap3grav1ty Also solved as imm0rtaliz3m3 Also solved as wh3r3t0g0 iw4nttwinyou - gives US phone number (when called asks for PIN) - solved with PIN 35813, 3scap3grav1ty - gives different grid-based puzzle - 3akix3ozidd1b - identical to the above - wh0isl0ki - gives grid-based puzzle - imm0rtaliz3m3 - gives an mp3 file, wh3r3t0g0 - gives some html-escaped data. Putting this into a basic html page reveals a word, That should help, put the keys such as "wh0isl0ki" into the box and it comes up with random stuff.

BlueLancer Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It could be anything from Microsoft just releasing another product to wild rumors that Bill Gates is starting a huge alternate-reality game with rewarding $1 billion to the brightest person as his objective (Well, Bill Gates *is* making some kind of announcement today in Las Vegas at the Bellagio hotel, but I doubt it's that) The decipher code was posted in another image which some people recieved via mail; it contains an USB thumb with a video file and an image. It was fairly simple to crack. It seems the game is just 'starting' today, and there will be probably some nice prizes for completing it, the game could take months to 'finish' and include real-life scavenger hunting. May be a huge thing or just an average viral marketing campaign. Folks at other forums also figured out the PIN number when calling the phone number when cracking one code, you just run it from right to left (35818) so it has 5 digits instead of 4.

Jaziek Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 not to burst your bubble - but any code with 15 digits takes you back to the original page instead of giving you an incorrect message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
