The following is a rough timeline attempting to explain the overall course of events without delving too far into dead-end trails and clues.

Twinbread Era - March 2014 to April 2014

On March 10, 2014, the Kickstarter campaign for Frog Fractions 2 launched. The pitch video for the campaign contained several cryptic clues. These clues first led people to twinbread.com[1] and eventually the discovery [2] of the Obama Shaving Simulator Flash game. Completion of the game provided the following message:

If you want to see PUBLIC_FIGURE alive again, bring the money to 37.871764,-122.265303 at 2014-04-05, 3PM local time.[3]

The coordinates led to the UC Berkeley campus, where several people met on April 5, 2014 with Jim Crawford, who was kidnapped/arrested by time travelers for crimes related to Frog Fractions.See video. While being dragged away, Jim dropped a bag on the ground containing 10 floppy disks. The disks contained a passworded archive of this video recreation of each scene/level from the original Frog Fractions.

Dormant Period - May 2014 to May 2015

After the floppy discs were solved, the ARG laid dormant for nearly an entire year, with no new clues found or discoveries made.
