reply to post by Springer


Yep, I live right around that area.

I was actually considering going to visit the locksmith's shop on 7th Ave...

which one?

That locksmith is a cover for a big website/media company.

This is good news, I'll make sure they get you and the wife tickets to the premier.

Springer...

and the "fake" AboveTopSecret site?

watchzenith.com...

so this was this also just a part of the game, then.

i have a bad habit of over analyzing some things now and again.

i was stuck up on this fake ATS site looking around it when the winner won.

and the tweets.

would of taken me a few days i think to be honest.
we must have a critical thinker with an amazing mind
for analyzing all the data so fast.

well not just the winner also the other's that came so close.
amazing.great game too.

Way to go, One Step Beyond! Jeez, I was just reading up on the game, and boom...it's solved! Bummer, but, oh well! Looking forward to that movie!

wait what?

so the game was to rearrange those videos in the correct order? and you win by posting this?


crap i found that hours ago. I dont think i completly understood the concept of how to win the game.

well done winner.

I had an inside look and still don't know what's going on.

I don't know what exactly to say. I feel good for solving the game but feel sad for solved it so fast. Actually, I thought the game solution was re-edit the videos and put them in the correct order.

The conection between the Zenith Conspiracy and Horizon came when I was searching for the conspiracies and names involved, everything smelled like a movie plot and when I found a Hank Mirren in the IMBD site I got curious.

Then, I opened the Surla Films website to search for more info on the film like a sinopsis and found:

A retro-futuristic thriller about two men in two time periods, whose obsessive quests lead them to question their own humanity

And with that I deduced everything was about a movie. The zenith conspiracy being the plot of this movie and I even thought that this info was irrelevant, I wouldn't bother editing my post to tell this but something in me made me edit and tell about the movie and all.

I also hope I am typing right because I am still a bit shocked.

Anyway, thank you everybody, ATS and everyone involved with this game, that was the first time I won some kind of contest.

Indeed, it felt like a movie plot. Nice one hun!

finding the missing videos, editing/ordering them up is part of Surla Films' ongoing game so, if you're up for it, keep digging, those lost films will be out there, somewhere.

Don't feel sad about it at all!!

Oh no, this goes beyond my capacity, I was thinking about giving up the game on ATS if editing the videos was the final solution on here, luckily it was not.

reply to post by Esoteric Teacher


surprised is an understatement. when he posted the wadjet link and told everyone to go to the homepage, Springer and I were on the phone and we figured someone was leaking info as the the wrap ad went up about 15 minutes before he posted that.

reply to post by Esoteric Teacher


I am actually pretty attentive to things, I am rather meticulous and perfectionist, so it might have helped me in the game. That might also be the reason why I love this kind of games where you need to find clues and look for details.

And thanks for the compliment.
