Ecoin Launch Event

The invitation email

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.

The color by numbers page found on the Red Wheelbarrow site

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.

The Red Wheelbarrow site was updated with an entirely new site layout, along with a kids section. The "color by numbers" printout in the kids section contained several hidden messages.

The path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:

- .... . -.--   -.. --- -. -   -.- -. --- .--   .-- .   .- .-. .   .... . .-. .   -.-- . -
THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET

SHES NOT HONEST

The numbers in the butterfly's wings, when converted to letters using the same cipher, reveal the following message:

19 8 5 19 14 15 20 19 1 14 5
