Is Triangle Mystery an alternate reality game?

A recent stumble led me to trianglemystery.com which claims that, “only the cunning will see the end”. The site - a flash application - presents you with a swirling set of triangle objects that you are able to click / throw against the back wall. It feeds you the odd random fact / clue about something that relates to triangles. The more you throw the central object, the more the wall crumbles until you step through and see an animated version of the image above.

 

At this point it appears the only thing to do is populate your email address into the strange pyramid type object on the right. Unfortunately their ‘you will be told’ didn’t mean instantaneously so whatever events are to take place will not be this afternoon.

 

A who-is lookup on the domain confirms that the site:

Most of what I was able to find from googling people believe that it is something Dorito’s based and probably going to suck. Since it only started a week ago I’m going to hold off reserving judgement. The visual quality of the site and ominous ambient music are good enough that I’d try following the puzzle trail should they send me a clue or two.

 

UpdatesA Newsweek article from last year talks about Frito Lay trying to Take The Junk Out Of Junk Food with such covert names as “Eden Project”. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new marketing campaign for their newest healthy product and a talking cheetah just wouldn’t cut it. I really hope it’s something more than product placement.

Anybody else discovered anything of interest in / related to the site?

Once all the wall has been knocked down you enter your e-mail address and wait. I have heard nothing on e-mail since this morning that is all there is to it.

 

I suspect from doing some googling that it is a marketing campaign for doritos.

 

I expect a free bag!!!!
