It appears the folks over at Maxis is having a little fun with the fans by creating an ARG to help with the promotion of DarkSpore. ARG, or Alternate Reality Game is a type of game that contains puzzles in which people have to find various clues to help them proceed. It’s a little difficult for me to explain, the closest experience to an ARG that I am familiar with is the backstory to the Cloverfield movie.
Anyhow, DarkSpore developer Mike Perry and a few other folks created Helpedna.com (Help E-DNA). It currently contains a DOS like console in which we need to input commands for more clues. So far it’s left everyone in confusion over at the DarkSpore forums…but a few people managed to figure out a few working keywords:
If you enter comic con or comic-con or comiccon it returns Coordinates interpreted. THANK YOU.
If you enter pi or language, it returns 3.14…If you enter video, it returns … upload in progress …
If you enter darkspore, crogenitor or edna it returns who are you?
If you have any new information, feel free to post it here or chime in at the forum!
The language differs from pi slightly, odd.
