[Trailhead] Level 7

Oddly, I can't find any info on Karinna Darnell on Google. With zero hits on EXACTLY that name, I'm curious if her name in itself is a clue or a puzzle of some sort. Either that, or I'm not utilizing my Google magic to my best ability. Additionally, the quote seems fabricated; when you search chunks of it on Google, only this forum turns up. Let me know what you think, friends!

I came up with the same result! The name could be an anagram or clue to some kind of code. Likewise the text. Breaking us back in with something easy? LOL

EDIT Karinna Darnell stumped my anagram finder...next...I thought I saw a Facebook page...maybe there's a Twitter or Instagram feed...

I found a message in the quote!

Habits indicate different idiosyncrasies. Necessarily, general date and time are indicated - normally almost certainly a rigidity. Repetition is evident; regular looping in keeping everything to his individual system is standard and females often reveal more obtuse features. Sometimes, to eager gawkers and nascent observers, games represents a perfect habitual yardstick.
— Karinna Darnell

By taking the first letter of each word in the quote, the message is:
"Hiding data in a carrier like this is a form of steganography."

I'm so excited Levels is coming back, I'm pretty much a greenhorn in the ARG world and Levels has given me the chance to exercise an intuition for finding hidden information.

So cool! Nicely done! I learned a new word "steganography". Yay!

Did you post on Twitter, in the hopes of prompting the next puzzle?

In other news, has anyone had a crack at that video? I don't have the necessary software at home to work on it, and haven't had time at work. Might stay late and give it a shot tonight.

Seems like that really might have been a warm-up puzzle. I'm so excited to see what happens next!

As for the video, I think the only thing which COULD be hiding in there would be something spectrographic inside those bursts of static. Worth checking, I suppose!

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a good, safe download for software that could help with spectrographs? I have always had trouble locating one.

This argument seems to always pop up when a puppet master posts a trailhead on the forums so I'll do my best to set the record straight: The rules of the forum itself allow for puppet masters to make the initial post to point players to their game when a more unique/interesting/creative option has not presented itself. The rules only frown on PMs continuing to post after the initial rabbit hole has been established.

While "poor taste" is a matter of opinion I do try and stress to puppet masters in training that choosing this option to launch your game shows a lack of creativity on their part and thus leads to prejudice about the rest of your game from the potential players.

This is their time you are attempting to acquire, so you should at least try and show that it's a commodity that has some worth to you, because it does to them.

/rant

Now, let's go play some games!

I don't want to use my personal Twitter, so I might make a second one just to tweet the PMs.

And I found another hidden message! There's microtext underneath the YouTube video:


See that little line?



If you can't read that, it says "When playing ARGs, it can be a good idea to use software to monitor web pages for updates."

LOL! I saw that too and thought it was an ad from Twitter, i.e., for people to use Twitter. You think it's part of the game? Could be!

I have an ARG exclusive Twitter account, myself.

Re: the video, I was going to attempt to analyze the sound, and take stills of each frame and run them through Photoshop.

Great finds all!!!

It sucks that this looks like it is starting up again right now. I have had some family stuff come up and probably won't be around much for a while :(

Hopefully this is still going once life settles down. I will try to pop in every now and then to help if I can, but don't hold your breath.

Reesylou You'll be missed! Hopefully we have lots of progress for you to check in on.

SO I private messaged LEVELS on twitter and asked about protocol for collaborating now that we're back online. They posted a little reminder in their website. And now that we solved the STEGANOGRAPHY it is no longer there.

More convinced than ever about a message in the video. I'm getting started. Starting with audio analysis. I think it's ok to share that much.

Will let you know as much as I can if/when I find something.

Nice catch. Looking close at the sentence you can read more than that. It reads:
When playing ARGs, it can be a good idea to use software to monitor web pages for updates.
And when a page changes, never forget to look again at the source code.

So, looking at the source code:
A comment tag reads:
Never forget to check linked files when checking source code.
Then the third link leads to:
// Becoming familiar with Javascript will help with many ARGs…(followed by a function)
