I could not find a thread here so I’ve been working it out on Reddit... not much being said there... moderator said “no clues exchanged here” in the beginning... which made me wonder what I was doing there... two days ago they changed that... but so far no one says much there! But if you are interested it’s a place to start... at least it will help direct you to the first few questions... and I’m here too if I can help!

Lots of folks saying it’s a scam... maybe it is... maybe it’s not... but $10 million here in my own State is enough for me to give it a shot! ☘️

We still get security lockout whenever we try to access their site no matter which browser we use or whose device.

Firefox was one of the ones we've been trying; failed again just now. Anyone interested in adding someone remote to their team?

We are on about clue 6 right now... Hunt got a very late start... Started around December 5th I think... I'm lurking in another forum which is either still behind you, or your numbering system differs from theirs. I'm curious how far along others have reached, but of course cannot expect any details will be shared. I'm still skeptical about this whole thing, and wonder whether anyone has gained any insights to confirm or undermine their confidence in the legitimacy of this contest. (The puzzles themselves could have been fine for a minor online hunt, but do not look like good buried treasure clues to me)

four months later... My group is stumped after entering "part 8" but has access to future clues. It's a mess. And today the main website went offline -- whether due to a server outage or restructuring or simply failure to pay the bills, we don't know. I could point you to how we know of at least 12 parts, but without the passwords it's pointless.
p.s. No one has seen any activity on their treasure maps. This has been one long trail of puzzles for the sake of keeping the natives from getting restless. It isn't working.
p.p.s. The main site is back online after going dark for two days; nothing appears to have changed. Before that, their site certificate had expired, but it was renewed last week, which should fix any security warnings your browser might have thrown up in the past.

two more months have passed since my last post, and my team on Discord has made zero progress. How is the reddit group doing?

another month gone and the website* is down. It's been more than a week and well into October, so we're worried that the contest organizers have abandoned us. Perhaps they simply forgot to pay the hosting bills? I still haven't heard from anyone outside my little circle, leaving me to wonder whether other players have also given up.
*note: only the main entry website is offline. There are several other in-game websites which are still up and running on a different hosting solution. We still have access to several password-protected pages in need of solutions to reveal more. It's just that the contest site is the only way to check for intermediate progress and to enter codes to unlock more clues.

I wonder when the last time anyone got a refund was.

FYI,
Do NOT return to the main site for this "contest" as it has been taken over by porn, serious NSFW stuff.
We do not know where the original owners are nor how to contact them; we don't know if they are even paying attention anymore. They might not even know they've been hacked. The pessimists in our group wonder whether they simply skipped town and left the security down. The cynics wonder whether they sold the domain to cover their debts.
The optimists... well, there are none left.
