Initial Announcement
On March 27th, 2017, Twitter user @argn tweeted a link to a website with sixty locations, of which four were active at the time. The locations, when clicked on, reveal the location's name and its status. The active locations also reveal a link to a livestream of a local radio of that location. The location activation rate is estimated to be five locations per day. The website also displays a date, June 8th, and states that the first clue is being initialized. A list of active locations and their corresponding radio stations can be found here.
Another website was found by searching for 'wakingtitan.com', based on the title of the 404 page on the original site. The website prompts for a username and password, which will most likely be given after the 8th of June.
