  • AKA, The story so far...

Test Subjects Needed

Discovery of Testsubjectsneeded.com and the sensory evaluation test.

May 24

An ad printed in the Flashpoint comic series leads to Testsubjectsneeded.com

The ad in the DC comic was for 5 Gum and included a "wasp"-like icon and morse code, which decodes to Testsubjectsneeded.com. (see Print ads)

Additional print ads lead to subfolders on Testsubjectsneeded.com, though redirect to the home page

These include a QR code in the Seattle Weekly, and LA Weekly, leading to the /unknown subfolder, but redirects to the home page.

TV commercials for 5 Gum include a brief flicker in the last scene displaying Testsubjectsneeded.com

Closing text in the commercial is briefly replaced by "test subjects needed" (leading to the website. (video link?)

Testsubjectsneeded.com (and its mobile site) asks visitors to fill out a sensory evaluation test.

On completing the evaluation, visitors are prompted to create a profile, and provide details for the creation of a custom badge said to be mailed out in the near future. Answers to the sensory test provide the basis for a pentagon-like graph.

June 7

(E3 news summary?)

June 13

At Bonnaroo 2011, crowds were treated to a surreal drop of blinking LED paper helicopters during the outdoor event.

Official Bonnaroo footage is provided in this video (youtube)

An ad in the June/July issue of Seventeen contains another QR code leading to Testsubjectsneeded.com, and highlighted letters spelling "destiny".

The QR code leads to the subfolder /query, and the highlighted letters "destiny" are also a subfolder. (see Print ads)

Users who completed the evaluation test and registered at Testsubjectsneeded.com providing a mailing address begin receiving mail.

Inside the package is an origami helicopter with a blinking LED light. On the copter is another QR code which decoded leads to Missionicefly.com. Packages were reported being shipping in either black or silver envelopes.

Missionicefly.com is discovered, including a countdown timer to 12:00pm Pacific June 30.

An Icefly buzzes around the web interface with the countdown and includes a link back to Testsubjectsneeded.com.

June 25

An updated video of the Bonnaroo 2011 helicopter drop is uploaded (youtube), but includes a brief, garbled phrase with actor Terry O'Quinn.

Actor Terry O'Quinn (LOST) is also seen at the end of the updated video, but the video and audio is to garbled to note for certain what is being said.

The footer of Missionicefly.com is updated showing the phrase "operation reboot", along with jumbled letters.

Over the course of a day or two, the footer of Missionicefly.com clears to reveal a list of 15 cities, implying a coordinated event on June 30th. Instructions are also added.

Through an email, a twitter account @Mission_Icefly is revealed


Format:

  • Email reminder June 29th
  • Countdown ends, iris on MIF.com is clickable, icefly enters leading to /rescue (initially a graphic interface, converted to lightweight HTML)
  • Link to an email for photo submissions and a flickr account to watch (http://www.flickr.com/photos/missionicefly)
  • Cities activated 1, 2, or 3 at a time
  • First to each location follows instructions to locate a box containing an Icefly - later discovered that once plugged in and blinking, blinks repeating morse for "SURVIVALCODE.COM"
  • As locations were completed, an embedded garbled video grew clearer.
  • Once all cities and iceflies are rescued, the last update included the url survivalcode.com/thegenesis
  • Video is presented, leading to a passage in a cold environment - with a countdown to July 15
  • User then directed to Survivalcode.com
  • Intro video includes more Terry O'Quinn
  • Create a profile or connect to existing to log two new achievements (one additional for the 15 volunteers to rescue an icefly)
  • User has access to log files - Facility 01 (changed to Prelude) with 5 comic logs
  • log #4 mentions Traelek Institute which leads to Traelekinstitute.com
  • TI.com lists a phone number to call with a brief word assocation test. These four words lead to hidden pages on the website (ascent, blameless, decoy, misguided)
  • Survivalcode.com profiles are updated to refer to "test facility keys" and "constellation keys"
  • Users report codes included inside new 5Gum packaging with the Icefly emblem that can be entered to unlock constellation keys
