Well....

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
I knocked down all the walls and used an email address.

So far that's all I can do. Is that it?

I got out of the first room, but can't figure the second. Where'd you get the email addy?

No, I used mine and got a message: "You will be told."

Ahh, you can type in numbers at the bottom of the pyramid.

If I'm not misinterpreting the second room...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The big pyramid is displaying a countdown. The little pyramid shows what the digits are (the dot is 0, the down-pointing arrow-triangle-thingy is 1, etc.) But I'm not going to wait 11 million seconds for the timer to run down... there has to be a faster way to get somewhere.

Paranormal activities abound at Bridgewater?

I ran a Google search on one of the phrases and found an Unfiction forum topic. Seems like some people have been talking about this thing longer than we have. Here are a couple of things they found:


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
All of the mysterious polygon's mysterious phrases have something to do with triangles. For example, "Fires burned at Shirtwaist and three names remain." refers to something called the Triangle Fire.

The countdown I mentioned in my last post will come to an end sooner than I thought. The center represents seconds, the lower left is minutes, lower right hours, top days. It'll end on what I believe to be May 11th or May 12th. Maybe we should all check back then, or set our computer clocks for that point?

is this game kind of one of those ARG games?

Comment By Mike
Just went to check out that Unfiction forum and voila, ,it's a forum for ARG games so I guess that's my answer, this is an ARG game. What's with this game? makes my pc slow, which usually does not happen. A bug?

This is frustrating. I'm still in the first room. How do you get it to hit the side walls?

Ok I'm going nuts here wondering......
1) If I'm going to get some sort of e-mail clue from entering my address and
2) what the hell is going to happen next.

Retarded question coming....
Should I leave that browser open, or close it and go through breaking down that wall again later? Maybe e-mail addy will be login if I close it?

Comment By Gemini
More of some mystical babbling machine then a game. I don't know what everyone is saying about an email address, I didn't find one. All I kept doing was throwing the triangle against the wall until it broke and quit. Not my type of game when I sit there for ten minutes with nothing to do but throw a triangle against a wall.

Gemini:
Spoiler perhaps for anyone else who reads it

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
When you break through the wall you have to get ALL of the pieces off of the wall, not just the center piece with the strange design on it like you see at the very beginning. And the email address is your own, you put it in at the bottom of the big triangle clock thingy you see after you break through all of the wall. At the bottom of it there are two places to enter the beginning and end of an email addy. There's an @ sign in the middle, then you click on the button and get a message saying "you will be told".

Comment By Gemini
All the pieces? I tried doing that, spent ten minutes throwing the triangle against the wall after it broke, even clicking in different areas. No luck.

I did find something nifty. The messages all relate to historical things. One that I know in particular is this:

"It took 20 years and 14,000 workers to build"

That would be the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Pretty interesting, like it's a revelation type game of something mystical going to happen. "you will be told" sequel perhaps?
Comment 26, Thursday, 01 May 2008 03:27:38
 
I got bored with this. It took too long for the first screen to finish scrolling through numbers, then I found it difficult to
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
aim the triangle thingie and make it hit different parts of the wall to break it.

In the end I decided it just wasn't worth it and gave up. Looking at what other people have posted, I think I made the right decision.

Someone has suggested this is viral marketing. I wouldn't mind if it was more interesting.

when you enter your e-mail adress it sais:
"You will be told" witch means when the time is almost reaching zero you will be notified trough an e-mail that will tell you to check the site again and watch wat happens when the time reaches zero

Gemini,

you're not supposed to click the triangle but drag it in order to throw it against the walls.

The owner of the domain is:

Frito-Lay North America, Inc

I wonder if Graeme recommended having some corn chips because he checked the "whois" as well.

@Antennae: No it was just a coincidence ;) Seriously though: Who owns the trianglemystery.com domain? That you've told us. So then, who owns the 'corn based chip' brand I linked to? Same answer? And the clincher: What shape are those corn based chips I linked to?

It's just a marketing tie-in for Doritos. Not even an interesting one. They should have come up with an intro more engaging than simply throwing a 'thing' around.

Oh Gawd, don't tell me I spent all that time writing that crap down just to find out that it's a marketing ploy for some new flavor of Doritos!! Geesh, thanks Graeme!

Why is it the pretty graphics games are usually lame and the really fun games have crappy graphics? The mysteries of life. I expected more out of this and less tossing the diamond. Pleh.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wrote down all the stupid little blurbs the diamond thing spit at me. *Sigh* So, May 11th? Oh goodie.
