- A mysterious ad on the IE Blog leads to a countdown timer
- The Countdown page asks for keys.
- Several Keys have been found by using any of five cipher keys, either posted online or sent to bloggers.
- Several keys were solved by using the contents of a Puzzle Box Package, mailed to various people. The contents include a video.
- These keys have frequently been accompanied by extravagant gifts (laptops, media center computers, etc.) from Loki, the "Enigma Director", and all come from Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, WA.
- The countdown expires Jan 8th 2007 at 6:30PM PST. A decompile of the Flash app on the main page reveals the location as the fountains in front of the Bellagio. This time and location coincides with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is expected that this is when the game will officially start.
- Several new countdowns are behind a particular key, listing various cities and times of additional live events.
- A new video from lokivanishes is discovered on YouTube, giving a new key.
- Scattered reports are arriving that the Microsoft CES Keynote includes more details about prizes.
- Registration available and rules and prizes posted
- The rules page lists a secret Meta Puzzle with an instant-win prize for the first to solve it. The prize is their name inscribed on each of a new AMD processor model to be released soon. Several clues in the puzzles, events, and in the original video could relate to the Meta Puzzle.
- Another clue from Loki surfaces at the Bell Desk of the Orleans Hotel.
