These glitch ARGs are always some good code breaking fun, here we go again I guess.

Just don't find the submission page on the first day again :)

Awesome prize. It's always fun playing the earlier Halo's and recognising the faces on marines as Bungie staff.

Up for joining any team, or UK specific team if there's one already going.

Damn, woke up too late to join in on the fun :)

I wonder if the domain number is random or if there's something to it. Probably nothing.

Lol - I really don't know why they don't hide the related websites a little better if they don't want us to break the game.

in fairness this happened with the sunset one and it was a mess, people found stuff out of order and nobody could solve it. I think there's still parts of that one that never got answers.

They're definitely gonna have to change the links up, a quick whois finds every other link registered at the same time by the same people, which all the ones visible through that now redirect to the countdown.

Surprised they didn't see this coming after Sunset, or didn't care.

I missed the team boat, but I live central UK (Warwick) and I'm willing to drive anywhere which sounds like will be required.

I also have some friends in Xbox UK PR which could prove useful.

In fairness, if you go back to the thread I was the cause of that as I used the same tactics to find the related websites - apologies.

On the plus side, there seem to be two classes of websites in this mess. Those created by B-Reel UK and those by McCannLondon.co.uk so maybe there are two seperate things going on here.

I'm not having a go. I think finding all the pieces at the start if more fun but it gets confusing.

the sunset one was actually pretty funny seeing people try and piece all sorts of weird things together.

I didn't think you were. =)

I find it astonishing how easy it is to backtrack the registrations to find the other websites and I don't even work in IT. I have just found another registered on the same day as huntthesignal.com that's clearly linked.

At the moment, to play the game properly, I would suggest analysing the co-ordinates in teh YouTube video. The requirements for the competition clearly show that you need a GPS enabled phone so I imagine some sort of travelling may be required.
