Static Hourglass is an ARG, connected to a series of mysterious tapes that have initially appeared in the Bay Area.
The Hourglass Tapes
On November 3rd, a tape was found under a bench in Sonoma County, CA. The next day, another, identical tape was found in a local music shop near the location of the first tape. In the same week, yet another identical tape was found on a bus in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The tapes contain roughly 65 minutes of shortwave radio sounds, interspersed with clearly marked, but intermediate to very difficult clues.
The initial discussion about these tapes started on November 5th, on 4chan. On November 8th, the discussion was moved from 4chan to a Facebook group. On November 9th, a Discord server was created to further discuss the tapes. On November 10th, members of this Discord channel have distributed CD copies of the tape in Prague and London, in an attempt to find more people to help solve the mystery.
After a month, on December 7th, the word about the tapes found their way onto the Game Detectives Discord.
65 Minutes of Confusion
A rip of the tape's contents are available on Soundcloud, while the puzzles contained within can be found here.
