Ecoin Launch Event
On (date?), an invitation email was sent out to players subscribed to the mailing list. The invitation describes an Ecoin launch party, to be held on October 5. However, the email also contained a hidden message. The letters above each large bubble of champagne spelled out the message:
BITLYSEWGI
By navigating to bit.ly/sewgi, players were redirected to the RSVP page for the Ecoin launch party.
October 4, 2017
On the day prior to the Ecoin launch event, the Red Wheelbarrow and Confictura websites (both of which were used earlier in the ARG) were updated.
Red Wheelbarrow
The Red Wheelbarrow site was updated with an entirely new site layout, along with a kids section. The "color by numbers" printout in the new "kids" section of the site contained several hidden messages.
First, the path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:
- .... . -.-- -.. --- -. - -.- -. --- .-- .-- . .- .-. . .... . .-. . -.-- . - THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET
Second, the numbers in the sun, when converted to letters using a simple substitution cipher, reveal the following message:
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 8 15 14 5 19 20 SHES NOT HONEST
Confictura
The Confictura site was also updated (with what?). The visitor counter at the bottom can be adjusted manually by clicking on it. Setting the visitor counter to 0736565 (how did we get this???) causes the visitor counter to be replaced with a text box. Entering blackanddeepdesires (how did we get this???) causes the Confictura page to completely change, revealing a message:
If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
