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!
