Solving Volvo’s “Lost In Forks” Twilight Saga: Eclipse Game
No, this post isn’t going to give you the answers, but it is going to give you some added insight that if you don’t know to look for you won’t be aware of. I have been tediously attempting to find the Cullen’s humble abode all evening, but to my dismay I have yet to find it. Hell I even wound up in the snowy mountains once and I’m not even sure how I got there.
When you visit lostinforks.com to partake in the “Lost In Forks” Eclipse game you are first prompted to enter your date of birth to verify your age. From there you are basically given the option to start the game or learn how to play. The problem with ‘How To Play’ is that it tells you how to navigate and not really how to play. After a few hours of frustration I noticed the “Visitor Center” link in the upper left corner of the page and was taken to a much more informative section.
Prior to finding the Visitors Center I was flying blind, but then I discovered a handful of helpful tips on how the game is actually played and what to look for to properly navigate all of the forks in Forks.
How To Play
“You start off in the center of Forks and then have to get to the Cullen House in the shortest number of steps, by successfully navigating a series of forks. Each fork provides you with one or more clues to help you choose your path. These clues directly relate to the Twilight Saga characters and story.
It is up to you to decide what each clue means and where it might take you.
But be careful, some clues can be quite misleading.”
Interestingly enough this is somewhat true, however I didn’t find a clue at every fork in the road as they lead you to believe. I will say this however, many of the clues are hidden or take a moment to appear. I’ve spent the majority of the night scrolling over every inch of road just to see if it reveals anything. It’s also helpful to magnify various items along the way for additional clues. Another help is to make sure you move as far left or as far right as possible before deciding. In a few instances the “clue” was outside of the bounds of the main view.
Easter Eggs
There are a handful of these that I have come across so far, but clearly I haven’t hit all of them. So far I have uncovered the following throughout the evening:
- The Meadow
- Bella’s Bedroom
- The Newborn Vampires
- Jacob and Bella with the Quilieutes
- La Push (seems to be nothing more than a dead end and nothing special)
- The battle scene (again nothing more than a dead end, I only know it was the battle scene from the background music and noise)
F.A.Q.
One of the first things outlined in the FAQ is that if you get lost you should refer to the “Forks tickertape at the bottom of the screen…”. I have tried this game in both the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers and have not found or seen anything of the sort. This could be a compatibility issue, but I didn’t have the patience to even consider using Internet Explorer to try it.
The other thing that isn’t mention is that occasionally the direction you choose will play part of the Volvo opening sequence. My assumption is that when this happens you have gone in the right direction. However, these instances are not referenced anywhere on the Volvo site and therefore I cannot confirm for certain. The other thing I’ve noticed about these is that they aren’t consistent if you restart the game, which has me wondering if the shortest path to the Cullens changes each time you play, or if these scenes simply happen at random.
Overall the game is quite fun, but getting “Lost In Forks” is actually quite easy. I do warn you however that because it is so frustrating you are sure to obsess over conquering it, so be sure to slot a good chunk of time to play the game if you’re serious about it. I’m serious…This game is frustrating as shit!
I will leave you with one hint for your journey. A-KA-LAT is Quilieute for “Top of the Rock” AKA James Island.
UPDATE: Just a reminder to all our readers. Please do not provide the answers in the comments. We have been asked by a number of our readers not to reveal the actual path to the Cullen’s house. Instead feel free to provide clues, help, hints, and tips that will help our readers to solve Lost in Forks and find the shortest route. And just so you know, we made it in 11 and haven’t been able to do it in less thus far. 
UPDATE: Due to the success of this post we have done a more in depth post that has images of some of the hints, images of the easter eggs, and a complete list of the clues in the ticker tape! Lost In Forks Game FAQ, Hints, and Easter Eggs
UPDATE: Since the first round has concluded in the U.S. we will no be providing the solution via email anymore. We will however continue to moderate this post and provide updated information about the game as it becomes available. Good luck in round 2!
UPDATE: A commenter on the site has been posing as various commenters throughout 7/10/2010 and perhaps prior to this date. We are investigating this problem further and have blocked the commenter based off of our initial findings. We will be following up and deleting the imposter comments and making additional changes as needed. We will most likely be launching a forum on the site to counter these problems in the future.

There actually is a video for the Battle Scene. I didn’t watch it, but it is straight ahead, on top of the rock.
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:14 am
And also I’m not gunna give out how I got there, but the shortest route for me was 10 forks. Anyone solve it in less than that?
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:46 am
how did you get it in 10?! i got it in 11 and cant figure anything shorter… oh btw the snowy mountains is good
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:35 am
I got it in 11. I mapped it out in Excel (which speeds along the process quite a bit, by the way – highly recommend you do that) and there is no shorter way.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:13 am
You were so close when you hit the snow! The ticker tape does show up in Internet Explorer but it just shows a bunch of questions that you can’t click on. The questions themselves are supposed to be the clues but I didn’t find them helpful. I made a list of where each turn took me. Attempt #3 had me pretty much just clicking on everything to see where it went. From that list I was able to get there in 11 forks. Still looking to find all the Easter eggs. Supposedly there is one at Jacob’s house?
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:21 am
I got to Bella’s house. Now what do I do? The only button is the “back” button now. I went in her window and watched that video. Is there something I’m missing?
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:29 am
You guys are leaving some great tips! Thanks for visiting the blog and giving us your insight.
Angela – Bella’s house is one of the easter eggs. All of the easter eggs are dead ends so from there you just go “Back” and proceed with the search.
Dawn – That’s too bad that the tickertape only works in IE. I guess I’ll have to go back and try it again tonight. I saw in the Easter Eggs section about the one at Jacob’s House, but I’m wondering if it’s the easter egg where it’s all the Quilieutes on the res.
mllea – You are hardcore! Using an Excel spreadsheet, that’s some dedication. Great thinking!
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:34 am
Can someone just tell me how to do it. I don’t even care to win the game I’m already frustrated and want to be done with it! haha
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:36 am
i got 11 forks.. is there anyway that i can get a shorter way?
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:13 am
I only got 11 forks as being the least. The trip to the Cullen’s house is like 7 or 8 itself. I do not see how it could be shorter.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Ok so i got it down to 11 like everyone else but is there really a shorter way? im hearing 5 which i think is impossible but if there is a shorter way can someone please post it, i understand its a contest but its only the first phase and im sure it’ll only get harder!
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Can someone please explain to me where they see these hints of which way to go? I see the first hint on the first fork but that is it!! im lost
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 pm
So, I’m seeing Victoria at the river, but I can’t click on her. Hmmm.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:39 pm
why would someone post how to get to the end? the more people that get to the end, the less chance you have of winning. stop spoiling it for the people that have actually played it on their own and hope to win.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:40 pm
I keep going in circles! OMG-this is so frustrating!
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:43 pm
I played last night on Mozilla and the ticker tape didn’t show up either, so when I read the visitor’s center info, I was as confused as you are. But then, I got on today because I wanted to look for “easter eggs” and it showed up! Someone was right, though. I did it just fine without all those silly questions, so there’s no need for it. I got 11, too. Just like everyone else.
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:45 pm
wow this game is frustrating… i feel kinda stupid lol
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:46 pm
natalia and Thea – I’d be surprised if anyone spilled the beans on how to do it this early in the game.
shannon – most people seem to be sticking to 10-11. The good thing is you can do it as many times as you want, so if you can beat your record then it counts.
Dri – The hints are pretty subtle in a lot of them. Like I said in the post, in a lot of instances I didn’t even see a hint. The few I remember were red eyes in a tree on one of them, a piece of something red hanging off a bush that you had to pull back by putting your mouse over it, the name Masen on the back of the truck, etc.
Angela – I noticed that too, and it makes me wonder if that will become active in the next phase.
Sarah – Our intention is not to give away the how, more to provide tips that will help. For instance we had no way of knowing we were being jipped of the tickertape because we weren’t using Internet Explorer. Also many players weren’t even aware of the information at the Visitors Center. This is just to help people, we do not want to give away the solution and if someone does we will be deleting the comment. We do want it to be fair for everyone. I think hints are more than ok though.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Just tell me this-once I get to the meadow, and I anywhere near close?
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:28 pm
HAAAAA! I did it in 131! How lame am I?!
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Congrats on those that have already done this! I keeping working on it during my lunch hour break but it is not enough time. Whoever makes these games is hard core! I remember the new moon contest was just as hard. Wish me luck and as much as I beg dont give me the answears!
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:40 pm
First off – I don’t think any of the “clues” actually mean anything. They’re just things to click to amuse us. Further, it took me about an hour and a half, but once I started recording where everything went…literally creating my own haphazard map, it helped me figure out where I had already been and what I still needed to explore. Once I started it, I found the Cullens very quickly.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Thanks for all the tips! I’ve been over 5 hrs into this game today with no luck yet. Have found some of the clues u guys have mentioned but others, like the eggs I have yet to be able to uncover, which is why I decided to come here to ask the question: how in the world do I uncover those eggs??? I have found some of the bonuses like the party sign, the lost person on the tree, the dog sign etc. but once I click on there, as much time as I spend putting the cursor on every inch of the view all it allows me to do is zoom out of there! So is there anything special I have to do to reveal these eggs? Please help! I have my table full of sticky notes, 2 kids begging for attention & some seriously sore shoulders!
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Sorry beccas. Not sure if your directions are correct or not, but I’m going to have to can that. I don’t want to give away the answer on here as a lot of our readers have asked us not to!
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:28 pm
The answers weren’t right anyways
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:30 pm
This game is going to kill me!
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Are you supposed to go to all of the easter eggs?
June 23rd, 2010 at 2:38 pm
I agree Cal J!!! I have been on it almost 6 & a half hrs!!! Have been very patient, but it is definitely frying my head & shoulders! Kinda sucks that they make something so incredibly hard as if to NOT have to give away the car! LOL! After so long it doesn’t feel fun anymore
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:02 pm
I FINALLY figured it out!!! I cheated though, sorry everyone. I found the answers on another site. It’s not like I’m going to win the car anyways! I got 11 forks.
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I totally feel stupid, I hardly ever find any of the clues mentioned by everyone else. Are there even more that I’m missing?
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:28 pm
one of the easter eggs is the billboard with a puppy, if you peel it, it reveals an ad for a Florida vacation. hope it helps someone
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:35 pm
ok im very confused.. what are the easter eggs? I’ve been playing this game forever.. and im just going in circles lol
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Also there is a fork in the road with a sign that had some mud with 12 miles on it. La Push is 13 miles from Forks.
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:37 pm
i spent hours trying to figure it out and finally decided to write out where each fork led to through both left and right pathways, that way i knew which led where and i could tell if i already went somewhere and helped me to see which ways i still had yet to go, and with that i found the house. i didnt really pay all to much attention to the clues and eggs, just narrowed down the possible ways and then played it a second time with less forks.hope that idea helps
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:54 pm
people dont think they have put the answers all over the internet like really those of us that actually did it ourselves now have a slim chance of winning because morons post the answers all over the web thanks ass holes
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:10 pm
sarah i have spent literally at least 10 hrs total tryin to figure out this game so yeah i have played this game to the end. The thing im not getting is how ppl r getting 10 or less. i wrote everything down and theres no possible way to get any less then 11 unless theres some super secret path which i doubt. Im just getting frustrated that people would lie about a game. I didnt really mean to ask for the answer, i just wanted to know if there is a shorter way then 11 but that seems to be what everyone else is getting.
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:30 pm
I got it in eleven tries (finally) but if you don’t mind my asking…
What is an ‘easter egg’?
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:51 pm
i sat down for a couple of hours and wrote down all the ways as well. I could not find other ways to go but according to the website there are other ways to go. I have literally gone all ways and none of them have worked. i have looked on several different websites and the only valid amount I am seeing is 11.
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Got frustrated at the start but each time I came back to the same place I would make the same choice but then at the next place that was still the same I would choose the opposite direction. So basically I found most of the easter eggs, which don’t look like easter eggs by the way. Once I knew which roads were dead ends or led me back to some place I’d already been and was still getting lost and frustrated I decided to restart the game, there is only one fork I found that if you go the wrong way it will completely start you at the beginning again but it’s still counting forks from before that. The first time I made it to the cullen’s hosue I did it in 29 turns because of this. It is only 11 there is nothing shorter, people saying 10 either didn’t read the end message or are trying to throw you off. Basically some of the clues are obvious in a don’t go this way kind of way, like anything that has to to with Jacob and the werewolves is the wrong way. Others are less obvious and actually are ment to throw you off. I would just suggest keeping at it until you finally get there, you will eventually if you pay attention and don’t continue to make the same mistakes. When in doubt just restart.
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:54 pm
thanks a lot PS, we all worked hard to figure it out and you just give it away willy nilly to anyone.
June 23rd, 2010 at 7:56 pm
It only took me a half hour to figure it out, but I click fast and have a good memory for where not to go after I went there once.
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:20 pm
PS thanks for your comment, but unfortunately I have to can it because we asked that people NOT give away the answer and simply share their insight or tips. A lot of our readers asked that we not give the answer and we respected that. For any of you who saw PS’s answer we apologize for not being able to moderate it sooner. : \
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Has anyone found Jacob’s house, found the Cullens in 11.
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:32 pm
I made a flowchart…in 2 hours, got 13, narrowed it down to 11 pretty quickly. You know when you find their house. The “clues” are misleading. Keep at it!
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Some clues are right if you scroll all the way left or right, and really paid attention to the book. Best to write it down.
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Nicole – I agree the New Moon games were pretty hard. I gave up on the level where you had to navigate through all the people in Voltura in the red cloaks.
KJ – I listed the only easter eggs that I had come across in the original post. If I find anymore tonight I’ll be sure to update and since the easter eggs don’t let you win, I’ll even share their locations.
Cal J, Cee – You do not have to get all the easter eggs, but it’s nice of you want some extra Eclipse goodies. Nothing you haven’t probably already experienced, but fun to find nonetheless.
Ashleigh – Don’t be such a cry baby. We posted this as a way for fellow Twi-hards to connect and share info. We didn’t share the solution, and have asked our readers not to share the solution. This is no different than if you called a handful of your friends that were playing for help. Welcome to the internet…you’re the asshole.
Cristina – An easter egg is just a little something exrtra that’s hidden within the game. It has no impact on the outcome of the game, it’s just something fun for you.
To the rest of you thanks for playing and sharing all of your fun little tips and comments. You have made this post a huge success. We’ll be sure to share more if we come across anything else of value this evening!
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Got there finally after hours and hours! Got it down to 11. Lots of side-tracks though that are so confusing. I think there are definitely a few different sequences to get there. I will keep trying for 10 or less but I can’t imagine how to do it! So much fun and VERY challenging! Great work to the creators!
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:23 pm
So glad I did not see the comments giving the route – it was worth the challenge to find it myself. Great game!
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:26 pm
I’m so relieved to see you all did it in 11! I’ve seen a couple posts about people getting it in 10 (and even one person getting to there in 3 forks!!), and it’s been scaring me a bit
I, like many of you, mapped out all of the possibilities and only managed to get there in 11. I wish there was a way to find out if these people were lying, because I don’t want to give up if there’s a quicker way! I really hope there’s nothing shorter than 11!
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:12 pm
literally DUDE do u not get that ppl dont want the answers! i wish i could take it off of there! some ppl i swear lol thanks for all the tips, i hope if someone gets less then 11 they’ll at least let everyone kno that its possible cuz like sam said i dont wanna give up either if theres a quicker way.
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:44 pm
Whenever the car appears, it leads you to to what side you have to go..
Also, there is an arrow where it says “volvo” and it points right.
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:52 pm
Dude…seriously. Thanks for the comment, but no thanks on the solution. Sorry everyone!
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:55 pm
I keep getting it at 11. Im seeing that everybody is getting the same so I’m gonna submit already!
June 24th, 2010 at 12:03 am
I keep seeing comments about Bella’s backpack, and something about a mailbox. Does anybody know where these clues are? Are there any other fun/important clues? Im just curious, thanks!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:13 am
I don’t even think it’s possible to find the Cullen house in less than 11 Forks, people are just saying so så scare people right ?
June 24th, 2010 at 5:31 am
I have done it in 11 forks too but can’t find all the film clips and photos. Has anyone found Jacob’s house?
June 24th, 2010 at 7:40 am
The dog food billboard peels back to reveal a Florida airline tickets ad. Obviously, Edward is the opposite of these things, so the direction there is obvious. Just look in each scene to see what Edward would “avoid.” WWED? Some forks are simply that–just forks w/ no clues, so it’s 50/50.
-Bella’s pack is somewhat hidden in one of the scenes, you end up rolling over it for the bushes to roll back and reveal it.
-I found 11 moves to be accurate, going for 10 now.
June 24th, 2010 at 7:43 am
The girl who said she did it in 10 has to be exaggerating, I took notes and wrote everything down…there is no shorter route that I can find. If anyone can PROVE me wrong, let me know. I don’t want to give up if there is a shorter route.
June 24th, 2010 at 10:50 am
More easter eggs! I too got it in 11 clicks. I have found a lot of the hidden easter eggs. Has anyone found any really difficult ones? What is the thing on the left hand side of the screen by the lake that looks like it is hanging by ropes with a red gem on a crown. I cannot make that out for the life of me!
June 24th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I have no idea where you guys are seeing hints in it. Like the thing says follow the clues to to Cullen House. There are none!
June 24th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Hey Dani, the thing by the lake on the left hand side? It’s an antelope, the ropes that you’re seeing are it’s antlers.
June 24th, 2010 at 11:32 am
the thing next to the lake with the red Jewel is a voltorie necklace
June 24th, 2010 at 11:46 am
lol! Thanks Sara! Took me a while to even make out Victoria by the lake. Guess I need new contacts. Any idea what the meaning behind the an antelope is?
Also, did you guys read that finalists will only get ONE try!!!! That is tough.
June 24th, 2010 at 11:51 am
can some one pleez tell me what a ticker tape is
June 24th, 2010 at 11:54 am
Best I can figure is it is questions about each of the scenes that you go through to get to the cullens. You can’t click on it. It is just informative.
June 24th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
Okay i seriously need help i found the cullens house in 11 forks but im pretty sure you ca get there in ten can anyone help me please:)If you can email me at tom_girl319@yahoo.com and i know my emailes retarted made it in like the third grade and to those who find this post offensive get over it.
June 24th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I mapped out the whole thing and i know were every direction leads. there is no shorter way then 11. Unless there is some sort of passage no one can find.
June 24th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
at the first fork you are supposed to go right becuz the moon is turning into an eclipse and the eclipse is going to the right and also when you go right if you wait thier is an open sign with means go to the left i think,, anyways those were just tips not trying to give answers
<3 kasside
June 24th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
I don’t see Victoria by the lake; where is she?
June 24th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Victoria is by the river with all the rocks. And Dani, I was wrong it isn’t an antelope, I lingered longer and it sparkles, so I’m pretty sure that since Twilight doesn’t have any Vampire Antelopes in it’s story that it’s a sparkly piece of jewelry instead. Sorry hun.
June 24th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Can anyone tell me what scene is the mailbox in and what scene is bella’s backpack in? I already finished it’s just really annoying me that I never found these. Also, I couldn’t find jacob’s house. Any idea where that’s at? Thanks.
June 24th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Where is Bella’s backpack??
June 24th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
i got it in 11 as well. but i think there might be a loop hole some where. i mapped out every which way and on the last fork you can only get to it one way, that i am aware of.
some poeple have been saying 2 or 3? but if that is true they see something i dont see. and i dont really get how the “clues” are helpful. someone on another site said they got there on the 3rd fork becasue of the ticker thingy. it said something about a third fork. like in the read. i founf one but for the life of me i cant go on it? any ways if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated:)
June 24th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
does anyone know what the wather scene with the sun setting is all about? i think it might be an “egg” and i want to see what it has in store:) thanks
June 24th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
when you hit the snow, go right
i made it in 11
June 24th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
also, the clues (there are a lot) will help in the final phase i believe
June 24th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
i submitted 11. but i keep trying for less. you can do that people.
June 24th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
does anyone know what james island is?
June 24th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
JUST SAW A CLIP OF THE PROPOSAL! FIND THE RING IN THE MEADOW
June 24th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
James Island is the burial place of the Quileute chiefs. Same as a-ka-lat which means ‘top of the rock’
June 24th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
do you know how to get there? like which scene? lol
June 24th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
do you know how to get there? lol i think it might have something to do with getting to the end quicker.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
do you think james island has to do with anything?
June 24th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
I’ve been using Firefox and haven’t had any trouble seeing the ticker of questions. But you don’t need them/they aren’t very helpful. You can’t get answers to the questions and they really just mention the easter eggs.
I’d love to get proof (like a screenshot of the final page) of someone getting less than 11. That way we’d know it’s legit. I feel like I’m wasting my time looking for the “secret path”.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
what is the ticker? I am using windows explorer and can’t seem to find it for the life of me… please help
June 24th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Hey everyone. Thank you again for all your comments and feedback. We LOVE that you are all getting so involved. We will be putting together a post in the coming days that will act as a bit of an FAQ based on all the questions you have been asking as well as an Easter Egg breakdown since Easter Eggs don’t really give away the solution. Be sure to check back later this weekend or follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/WheresEdward or Twitter http://twitter.com/wheresedward for the latest updates!
June 25th, 2010 at 12:24 am
This may sound stupid, but i’m so confused.
Everyones saying they got there in “___ forks”.
I read the F.A.Q & “How To Play”
WHAT ARE THESE “FORKS”???
June 25th, 2010 at 4:02 am
Please can someone help. I have mapped out all the forks but can’t find:
Jacob’s house (unless its by the cop car)
the eclipse
the ring in the meadow

how do you get to the meadow and jacobs house
June 25th, 2010 at 6:24 am
it took forever but i got it in 11 forks. I dont understand how people have made it in less.
June 25th, 2010 at 6:26 am
I also have the entire course mapped out and there is no way shorter than 11. I’ve been searching for a secret short cut but have yet to find one. I did not find Jacob’s house anywhere. His house is red, didn’t see a red house, did you?
June 25th, 2010 at 6:34 am
I have yet to see a red house? Or Bella’s backpack?
June 25th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Easter Eggs?
June 25th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Had no clue this came out on the 22nd I just stumbled across it, played it and got to the house in 11 moves. Never noticed the ticker tap or eggs just noticed smaller details that made me think of the books. I’ve tried again and again and can’t beat 11 forks. Good Luck to everyone out there.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
GOOGLE! Was a great help to me! A friend and volvo enthusiast told me that Volvo does some sort of campaign every year and the next level will be hard, likely pulling from the things you learn from the first game. I have been mapping out every path, noting clues if I see them, and googling them to find out what they mean.
ex. When you get near the end there is a fork where on one side, if you scroll over, the bushes pull away to reveal a gold and ruby necklace. I found out it is worn by the Voltari so prob a clue not to go that way.
You can spot other clues that pertain specifically to the real geography of the area, also helpful if you google to find out the meaning of what your seeing!
June 25th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
bella’s backpack a sucker IMHO.
June 25th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
ok so i have been going round and round and round in circles and cant get to the end! is there any hints u guys could give me! and i still cant find bella backpack and the mailbox that everyone is talking about!
plzzzzzz help me people!!!!
June 25th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
I made it in 11 attempts, but did not find things others have found, like the ring or the backpack. I really want to know where to find the battle scene. Someone said on the top of the rock??? Is it where you see the new vampire??
June 26th, 2010 at 4:15 am
I saw a backpack hanging in a tree or a pole on the left side. It is kind of high, I think it is on the page with the volturi necklace. I think I can see Edward in the Volvo at the Cullens house, anyone else? I read a post by someone that said he found a shortcut where the red rag (or whatever) is hanging in the bushes. He claimed he made it in four forks. He started left though instead of right.
June 26th, 2010 at 6:46 am
I have to say that I never came across any of the eggs… I still try and look for them..
I made it 11… I don’t see how you can make it under..
June 26th, 2010 at 10:47 am
Theresa, the battle scene is 1 junction on from the truck and the deer. go right passed Bella’s truck, at the next fork go left. hover over the black area on top of the rock for the fight clip. I have found the eclipse scene now – I didn’t wait long enough before starting. Is there something hidden in every scene? I have searched all over the house by the police cruiser and can’t find anything. I can’t find anything at the beach, the mail box or the backpack either. Please help.
June 26th, 2010 at 10:54 am
PS I think Edward is with Carlisle at the cullen house. If you go right over to the right u c 2 silhouettes and they don’t look like Emmett and Jasper. Is the red thing Bella’s kidnapped shirt?
June 26th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Can we see a confirmation screen shot from someone who claims fewer than 11 forks?
Where are the footprints?
Where is the mailbox?
Where is the backpack?
Where is the red house?
Are people posting these just to make me spend hours and hours trying to do better than 11 forks?-because it worked…
June 26th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Hey everyone, sorry about the few answers that slipped through. Some joker posted as admin, but I assure you we did not post the answer. Look for a post tonight or tomorrow with more info on easter eggs and some of the other questions that have been asked over the last few days.
June 26th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
The shortest I’ve found is 11.
The ticker thing works in Safari.
I don’t see how it can be any shorter than 11. I have tried every freaking way possible.
June 26th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
OK, I have been on this thing all through like eight hours probably? and anyway I can’t find my way through can someone help me. I find this agitating! XD
June 26th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Wow! This thing is truely addicting! I was able to find it in 11 forks as well. I am with everyone else…I wish that there was a way to see the final screen that these people are getting to…so that way we could see that they actually made it in less than 11. I like this site. It has been the best one that I have found so far. I am pleased to see that you all take the time to make sure the answers are not provided and that help is still given. Much appreciated!
Good luck to everyone!
June 26th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I cant do this is so uhhhhhh someone like reply to me on here, if you have figured it out I need help please please please please help -_- ……
June 26th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Wow! How were you all able 2 get it in 11 or less? I got it in 14!
June 26th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
um.. i checked and the least amount of forks that it would take you to get there is elevin. so the people who say they got less than 11 are lying unless there is like a secret route that you would have to search for.
June 27th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Hi, Ashley! I got it in 11 forks simply through trial and error. I think when I originally found the Cullen house it was in 14 forks but then I went back and tried different turns (like I went right instead of left in one scene) and found a slightly shorter route.
June 27th, 2010 at 2:02 am
I’m using Google Chrome and the ticker worked just fine for me although I’m not sure if you’re supposed to be able to click on the questions, I couldn’t…?
I made it in 11 but i’m going to map it out tomorrow and try for 10. I really hope you can make it in 10 . It’d really suck if people were lying about it.
Thanks for the help everyone!!!
June 27th, 2010 at 10:59 am
What I don’t get is (after mapping it out etc. and getting there in 11 forks) why when a move that should have brought be back to let’s say the gas station didn’t always. I’m wondering if this is a way for people to get there quicker. After all most people seem to get 11, could it be this is too easy and it’s actually 10 or even 9 forks because of these? I’ve noticed other people on different websites saying similar things so I really am not sure any more. Maybe it is possible to do quicker. But even if I get to the last round I doubt I’ll get anywhere near the end I give up too easily! It’s only when I heard people saying they got to the house in 11 turns I realised it mustn’t take too long!
June 27th, 2010 at 11:20 am
man after playing all night and half of the morning i got there in like 65 forks haha.. but after reading this im gona try again and actually look for clues lol
June 27th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Emma,
I found the same thing, that achoice that should have taken me to a particular spot took me somewhere different, thought at first I must have just written it down wrong when I did my map. These Volvo games have been goingon since the POTC movies and they are not this easy. Folks who say ppl are lying with less than 11 are just jealous. I havne’t gotten it in less than 11, but I can say that people are looking at the forest and not the trees. They WANT you to take these “easy” clues but they’re wrong. There are at least 2 clues at La Push but again stop looking at the BIG picture people. I also found that afer playing for awhile new things would appear on the screens. I went back to the eclipse screen after playing for several hours last night and suddenly there were numbers appearing in the upper left hand corner that were never there before – go figure. Has anyone gotten into the stores?
June 27th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I have not been able to find Bella’s backpack, Jacob’s house, or this mailbox the ticker speaks of. I have been over every inch of the screen at La Push and can find nothing of note. I also have been over and over and over the forks, and I haven’t had it change on me yet. I don’t know if getting it to change requires a different sequence, so I am mixing stuff up as much as I can to see if I can get anything to change. But so far, nothing has changed. I really want to see what is special about the mailbox (wherever it is) and Bella’s backpack, and I would like to know if Jacob’s house actually exists. To answer Alice’s question, I have not been able to get into any of the shops.
June 27th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I’ve still only managed 11 forks. It definitely seems too easy and I’d love to see a screen shot of the final screen from someone who finished it in less than 11!!
Also, in regards to the Easter Eggs…
Someone said they found Bella’s ring in the meadow, which led to a cut scene of the engagement, but I spend forever looking in the meadow and never found it! Is this true or was someone just really trying to waste my time? haha!! Thanks!
June 27th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Numbers appearing in the top left??? Into the stores???
While you say people must be jealous, has ANYONE seen a screenshot with proof of less than 11 forks? NO!
I spent a total of probably 6 hours consumed with this game, mapping and noting all clues for future use in the second phase if needed, testing routes for any changes.
If anyone HAS made it in less than 11 forks, kudos to them, in that case I wouldn’t deserve to win and they would, BUT until they provide proof, I think they are just full of hot air.
June 27th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
I only got 11 also. but it seems like the hints lead me in the oppisit direction that they r in. Like if one hint is one the left side i think u have to go the right.. but i could be wrong.. who knows, but they do some thing and i have been sitting in my office for hours trying to see what they do and were they lead me to. PPL say that the shortest it 5-6, i dont see how. i have a idea but im still trying to figure that out, im going to see what all i can find. lol my fist one i got like 166 forks. lol i didnt know what i was doing or were to go. but PPL keep looking some one is going to get it.
oh and jack, keep looking, make a list of were u went and how many forks it took you. i did that and i got from 18 to 11. try it, it might work for u too.
June 27th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I made it after 4 hours of determination to the Cullens! But… it took me 13 forks.
Can anyone throw a hint my way to maybe slip that down to the 11 forks everyone else is getting? I found the red rag in the bushes that moves but you can’t click on it so I can’t see it being a shortcut.
June 27th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
LOL don’t feel bad. It’s not science. My first try was 92 forks! You just take about an hour and explore EVERYTHING. (You can always go back) try to remember your route, and go that way. Yay! 11!
June 27th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Ok, so i still can’t find bella’s backpack? Can someone pls tell me where to find it, and what is this mailbox everyone is talking about??
June 27th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Where did you find the proposal scene? I clicked on every inch of the meadow scene and nothing came up? I also got 11 forks.
June 27th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
For everyone that doesn’t believe that you can do it in less than 11 forks open your eyes. One of the questions at the bottom of the screen is Did you find the 3 forks? I haven’t found the 3 forks but I bet the people that have gotten less than 11 forks found it and its a shortcut so stop being jealous and look for the clues.
June 27th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
So I found it in 11. I tried a few nights ago, and gave up after 30 minutes. Then tonight, I played for another 30-45 minutes and got there in the magic number 11 that everyone is saying. I too, have written down the backs and forths and dead ends and twists. 11 is the only way. On the theory that a turn should take you somewhere like say the Diner, and they don’t, I think you are just getting confused. I played and I know when I hit a certain place it didn’t change. If the routes changed like flippin’ Rose Red, the game would be complete luck and no skill. Which I don’t buy. So I think the number is 11, and the people saying 10 really SHOULD post a confirmation picture. If its 10 then good job, but PROVE it.
June 27th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
got it in 11 forks!! is there a possible shorter route? if there is i wanna try again! so please let me know:) thanx
p.s. damon, stefan, edward rock
p.p.s. i love justin bieber and hes the best!!!!!!!!!!!
June 28th, 2010 at 5:49 am
So many people are doing it in 11 forks. I also found it in 11. I am now thinking there must be a shorter way. I have not found the 3 forks yet. Any clues to the 3 forks?
June 28th, 2010 at 11:09 am
i got 11 too i think thats the least amount of forks you can do to get to the house.
June 28th, 2010 at 11:34 am
Has anyone read the actual rules for the contest? If you get thru to the second phase, not only to you have to find the house again, you have to answer three questions about the scene that you’re in.
The winner is the person who does it all in the shortest amount of time. Yikes.
I’ve only found 11 forks as well, but I have to say that, since so many people have gotten 11, it must be wrong.
Maybe it’s only legal mumbo-jumbo, but it actually says in the official rules that if there is only one person who can find it in the least amount of forks…..one would think that, if 11 were actually it, just one person wouldn’t even be a consideration.
Now, off to find a shorter route…..
June 28th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
where is the backpack and mailbox
June 28th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I haven’t found Jacob’s house, the mailbox, or Bella’s backpack. Losing my sight from looking so much. I also can’t find the ring in the meadow.
June 28th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
when you get to the house that says 206 which way do you go?
June 28th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
I finally did it! On my own no cheating and it feels good. I put at least 8+ hours into the game and then sent the link to my co-worker and said good luck. She got it in the first try…beginners luck…. I was pissed! We both got it in 11. After reading the new posts I am now wondering if you can get it in a shorter amount of time. I thought my anguish over this game was over but I guess not. I want that car!
June 28th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
Where is the ring in the meadow? What does 206 mean?
June 28th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I’m in the same boat as everyone else, I got 11 too. But I honestly think there has to be a shorter way because there are too many people with the same outcome. I’m gonna keep looking and hope that luck is on my side, but what I need help with is the easter eggs, like the mailbox,the backpack, jacobs house, and the ring?? Does anyone tell me where they are?
June 28th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
sorry I meant does anyone know where they are?
June 28th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Everyone keeps saying it must be harder…BUT with What Drives Edward, the puzzles weren’t easy-but they were do-able…this one is difficult but still do-able…
Do you think Volvo will tell us the answers when the game is over?
I’m still looking for:
the ring
Jacob’s house
the footprints
the mailbox
Bella’s backpack
3 forks
Any hints on where to find one of those things?
June 28th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
OK. I just launched the game on a different computer connected to a bigger screen. HUGE difference. For example, at the shops, I can see that, above the Art & Frames shop on the left is a sign that says “Beds and Mattresses.” Couldn’t see that on my lap top screen AT ALL. And the pictures are much lighter so far (two clicks… so a long way to go). Still haven’t found any of the things listed in the previous post… Jacob’s house, footprints, mailbox, Bella’s backpack, 3 forks (I’m wondering if that’s literally 3 forks, like 3 utensils).
Try the game on a wider screen or at higher resolution so you can see it ALL!
June 28th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
FINALLY!! i made it in 54 forks hint to people who haven’t made it yet: edwards a vampire so he sparkels in the sunlight if you come across the sun over the lake you might not want to take it that way
June 28th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Has anyone found it in less than 11 forks yet? I am still at 11.
June 28th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Thanks guys, this has helped.
June 28th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
I really can’t seem to get it in less than 11?
June 28th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Its because less than 11 isn’t possible.
1. The graduation sign is June 11
2. There are 11 people around the campfire
3. LOST IN FORKS is 11 letters.
Its 11.
June 28th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Alex,
You are instructed in this post to NOT post the answers-per request of the READERS. If people are desperate for the answer, there are other places online to find it.
And why would you share the answer? How does that help you win the car? It doesn’t.
June 28th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Alex, we appreciate your efforts and you may think the people reading this blog are jackasses, but the fact of the matter is they are our blog readers and we respected their choice NOT to have the answer given. As Rachel mentioned, there are plenty of places on the net for you to leave the answer and call people names.
That being said we have another post going up later tonight with info on easter eggs, hints, etc. So stay tuned everyone! If you want to be notified as soon as the post goes live be sure to follow us on twitter http://twitter.com/wheresedward and Facebook http://www.facebook.com/wheresedward
June 28th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
the tickertape shows up on safari and 11 is the best i could do!
June 28th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Whats the point of posting eggs, hints and shit, if the answers are out there?
Fine, I won’t post the results, but I want you to know that I mapped the whole city on my table after searching through it for a while. The answer is DEFINITELY 11, as there is no other way to access the Snow which leads to the win.
Anyone who says they did it in less than 11 are lying bastards.
June 28th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
Hey everyone, the new post is up with added hints a list of easter eggs, the COMPLETE ticker tap listing and more! Be sure to check it out after you get through this one. Lost In Forks FAQ, Hints and Easter Eggs
June 28th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Those of you looking for the footprints if you go left at the A-KA-LAT sign you should see to dirt roads the one on the left has two sets of footprints the one on the right has one set.
June 29th, 2010 at 2:15 am
Yes, with my newer view to the game, I can see the footprints on what I call the “two green paths” – as Jamie says. All footprints seem to be walking away from the forks (i.e., toward the front of the screen, not INTO the screen)… so a “hint” that neither fork is the right way to go.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Is there jumps or shortcuts in the game? Or is this contest purely on small clues or reasoning to find the shortest paths or forks?
June 29th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Could the administration answer this or would that be considered giving away the answer?
June 29th, 2010 at 10:51 am
i noticed at the shops, ALL the way to the right it says “tanning salon” i doubt edward would go there! lol
June 29th, 2010 at 10:53 am
also, is there any way to go back? i havent found one. even if you know you made a wrong turn, do you still have to keep going with the way you went or can you turn back somehow and go the other way?
June 29th, 2010 at 11:35 am
i beat it in 11 forks but I’m kind of curious to see where jacobs house is? can someone tell me how to find it?
June 29th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I’m happy! I’m in the finale!
it was hard at first but on my 3rd or 4th try I got there in about 40 seconds. But i didn’t get any eggs..
June 29th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
I finally got it! Wrote the solution down right in front of me. Will respect admin’s request and not post it…but here’s some very helpful clues.
Downhill and gravel roads are good.
Stay away from anything K9.
If you see Victoria…start all over.
Camping is a wild goose chase.
Beds are good.
Go opposite of most of the clues at the foks.
Stay in the dark!
June 29th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
How do you find/look at a clue. Iv been hours and don’t get it!
June 29th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
how many times can we submit? I submitted my first with 13 and them I submitted again with 11..is that ok?
June 29th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Clues to me are like the dog sign or the wolves…go in the opposite direction.
And can you submit more than once??? I wonder…I did it over and tried to deviate from my solution and 11 is the lowest number I could get.
June 29th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
I have found the house but there is no way you can find it in less than 11 forks! I have been trying for days!!!! So I’m positive the person who found it in less than that probably hasn’t even found it!! Good luck everyone!!
June 29th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
Allie, how many forks did you get? and also do you stay away from the turns where there are wolves at the 6th fork?
June 29th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
At the t intersection with the 2 wolves I go left…away from the closest one is what I meant. (hope that’s ok to give away)
June 29th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
yeah i was making sure cause wolves are on both side and they got me confused.
June 29th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
are there any skips or shortcuts you can click besides clicking left or right?
June 29th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Nicole how did you get there in 10 forks??????
I shortest I know is 11
and
i cant believe
its a shorter one
June 29th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Yea I mapped this whole thing out and I am positive there are 11. there is no way there are less than that. So if you got 11, way to go! PS. I ma not giving any hints cause I need a new Volvo, mine is 15 yrs old!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Made it in 9 FORKS!!! it IS POSSIBLE PEOPLE WOOOHOOO

come on ppl i have only got it in 11 forks but too be honest,i believe there is shorter way all of us cant get 11 forks and all be finalist they want us to think this. i think its all about math,possiblities,thinking. but i’ve used it all and still havent find it. but im not that bright soo.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:45 am
to wolfpack18: you say follow those clues and i have and it just leads round in circles plus i do get what its saying and that is no help either.. can u explain abit more
June 30th, 2010 at 5:11 am
Bella’s truck. I don’t think that is Bella’s truck in either of the places – at the bar or at the fork where it is on the right and the two deer are on the left, big tree in the middle. It’s a too-new truck. And, at the fork with the big tree in the middle, you can see a sticker on the tailgate that looks like a confederate flag. Southern instead of northern. Weird! What do you think?
June 30th, 2010 at 9:57 am
to wolfpack18: how long did you take to figure this out? was it a lucky guess or did it take a significant amount of time to figure out?
June 30th, 2010 at 11:06 am
AES, does wolfpack18′s way work? i havent been able to figure it out yet.. what do the clues mean? how do i solve them?
June 30th, 2010 at 11:16 am
i don’t know yet, i haven’t been able to figure it out. which is why i asked the questions i did. i really don’t want more hints from wolfpack18, because honestly, sharing what he or she did was very generous. i just want to know how hard it was so i know what approach to take. i’m not sure if i’m overlooking something simple or if i am not looking at tiny details. *sigh* i guess 11 forks was too simple, right?
June 30th, 2010 at 11:25 am
yeah i definitely want to figure it out myself. im still completely lost though. does he mean solve the clues he gave us? or solve the clues on the ticker tape? ugh! i wish it was as simple as 11 forks.. this game is driving me nuts!! (:
June 30th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Either I’ve been trying to figure this out for too long and I’m seeing things or there are faces in the leaves of the trees. Anybody else seeing things like this? Maybe I should take this as a hint to walk away for awhile.
June 30th, 2010 at 11:31 am
on the ticker tape there is a question that says “ice cold drinks- is that a reference to edward?” – where is that? i cant find ice cold drinks anywhere?
June 30th, 2010 at 11:34 am
haha nikki, im seeing the faces too! thank god, im not going nuts.. ive also seen a lot of numbers.. weird. i dont know what to make of it
June 30th, 2010 at 11:34 am
Are there multiple forks that lead to the Cullen house? Cuz I’m only finding one, and the shortest I’ve found was 11 forks. I’ve heard you can get it in 2, and at one fork there are 2 rights, but I haven’t seen any proof, so I don’t know if it’s true
June 30th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Nikki,
I was wondering that too. I keep seeing faces, but don’t know if it’s my eyes playing tricks on me.
June 30th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
after you go L,L,R you end up at this fork and if you look all the way to the left with your mouse there is a red thing behind a bush swinging. that is not a clue i dont think or a easter egg so what is it??? and if you click on it nothing happens
June 30th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Here is one more hint: After finding the hidden way you will open several other routes here is the start.
http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b440/thewolfpack18/newfork.jpg
June 30th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
yeah that is a photo. the images in the game are flash elements. nice try to thwart everyone…
i do however feel as though 11 might be it. the more people they get playing the game the more advertising they get and that is the grand point of the whole thing. they want people to play the second round so i dont think – personally coming from an advertising industry opinion- that they would make it super hard for people to get through the first round.
but have fun at it! plus mapping it is the way to go!
June 30th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
has anyone seen the red thing i was tlkn about on question 168???
June 30th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Madi,
I think it’s just a red ribbon. You know how the cover of eclipse is a torn red ribbon.
June 30th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
yeah i do but i just think its weird how its swinging like its pointing in that direction. but ur write it probably means nothing.
June 30th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
I think there’s too many clues leading to the number eleven. I doubt you can get to the cullen house in less than 11 forks.
June 30th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
wolfpack upload a better screenshot off the roads and also. i dont know what your clues mean i dont understand them.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Wolfpack… cud u please explain the clues better like for explain spacing and explaining if 2 lines are one clue or is each individual line 1 clue im a bit confused. thanks
June 30th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I believe the red ribbon/cloth/whatever, is Bella’s shirt, which leads to Riley…
June 30th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
LOVEISTHEWAY…that one I don’t get…Unless I am wrong on EVERYDOGHASITSDAY…
June 30th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
im one of those obsessive compulsive people where if i cant find a way its just gonna drive me insane. wolfpack, does seeing eclipse actually give hints? im gonna be up all night. hints please? i dont want the answer just a hint.
June 30th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
wolfpack clues, 1st letter in every line spells “bella is the key”
June 30th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Bella is the key?
June 30th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
i assume that if belle is the key you would think oh go to her house but wait she isnt there. im lost now. but that Bella is the key thing is pretty cool.
June 30th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
i still am trying to figure out the bella is the key part. anyone get it?
June 30th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Has anyone gotten less than 11? I can’t seem to find another way.
June 30th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
What do you mean Bella is the key?
June 30th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
that is a hint wolfpack19 gave. he made it in 9 forks supposedly
June 30th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
I know I sound like a skeptic, but I need to see a better picture, Wolfpack18…honestly, that looks photoshopped…
Did seeing the movie help you?
June 30th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
The Bella is the Key definitely is cool, BUT, Wolpfack18, where did you get these clues that you posted earlier? Did you find them IN the game? If you got there in 9, post a screenshot of that confirmation page too…
June 30th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Where are you seeing something looking photoshopped?
June 30th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
The link above that’s posted, it looks all foggy in the middle area, and why would there be a white line across the road on the left, or why do the yellow lines stop halfway down the road?
June 30th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I really believe with all of you, there must be a shorter route than 11…
June 30th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Yes, it does look unreal…
June 30th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
R we supposed to find bella and edward or the actual house?
June 30th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Has anyone heard anything about a fork with more than 2 option? I think that could be the big secret especially if its at one of the first forks.
July 1st, 2010 at 12:33 am
this is the most frustrating contest ive ever played. if i ever got my hands on the people who created this BS i would peal the flesh from their bones. I already wrote volvo and i recommend others do so to who cannot bare to play this anymore and tell them to go have intercourse with themselves. I think we should all boycott them and tell everyone to not buy their crappy cars. i want to see them tank and i want to burn their company and everyone in it. i literally have a splitting head ache from playing this game and would pay $46,425 to send these people to hell. F everyone involved in this. please if you have any backbone send me ur info so i can come to your house and curb stop you and piss on your rotten corpse.
July 1st, 2010 at 3:02 am
@Fthis dont get pissed just cuz you suck at the game
its a contest
its got nothing to do with volvo cars
if you were going to give out a car for free would you make it easy?
no. so shut up
anyway
i got 206 on my first try
next try got 16
then 13
then 11
i cant get it down anymore
i see that heaps of people have gotten 11 which makes me think it is the shortest route
seeing how nobody who claims to have gotten a shorter route has posted a screen shot
it also makes me think there IS a shorter route because there are almost 200 comments on here most of which say they got 11
thats alot of people for the final round
not to mention the people not on this website
also on yahoo answers and wiki answers people are giving out the directions to get there in 11
idk why. they must be idiots and not realize the more people who get the shortest route the less chance of winning they have
i have tried reporting the questions but yahoo answers makes me log in and i dont have an account and havent gotten around to making one
i reported the wiki one and i hope they will take it down
the website with the game says the final round will be timed and it will start when you click then enter key and you only get one shot
so make it count
good luck to everyone who gets into the final round
July 1st, 2010 at 7:50 am
Hey everyone, sorry we’ve been MIA for a few days. Eclipse craziness obviously has us admins a bit tied up outside of the site. Looks like most of you are holding your own and helping each other out though ,which I love seeing.
I really don’t think you can get it in less than 11 tries. When I did the Lost In Forks FAQ, Hints and Easter Eggs post I went in every direction I could multiple times to see if I could find anything else or come across a quicker route and it just wasn’t happening.
In terms of wolfpack18 and his new fork picture, I am going to say that I think this is highly doubtful. The image looks too realistic to be the Lost In Forks game. I will take a stab at it again this evening and see if I come across any alternate routes after getting it in 11, but I am highly doubtful that this is legit.
July 1st, 2010 at 8:07 am
If it isn’t 11, so be it. I’m tired of looing for Bella’s backpack.
I’m assuming that round 2 will be hard enough to get it down to a few or even one winner, especially since there’s a time limit involved. Even if there are millions in round 2, it won’t matter. Fastest time wins. I’m just hoping my computer doesn’t freeze up or the Internet go wacky if I’m lucky enough to be in round 2.
July 1st, 2010 at 8:32 am
I too have come to an end with 11 forks. Everyone seems to think there is a shorter way… It’s only the first round, this is most likely intentional since it is only the FIRST round….? Well, if anyone DOES make it in less than 11, would they be so kind as to post up a screenshot? (: And the person(s) that claim to have reached a fork with more than 2 choices…. also a screenshot please? (:
July 1st, 2010 at 9:02 am
I just don’t understand how they are going to narrow it down if 11 is the winning number… There can only be so many finalist, I know that if there is a tie, then those two people have to write an essay, that’s all I know.
July 1st, 2010 at 9:19 am
Thats what it says in the rules. Is there jumps or shortcuts in the game? Because if there is no shortcuts then 11 is the shortest way.
July 1st, 2010 at 10:15 am
Oh dear God I just wasted almost an ENTIRE DAY and am now surrounded by the crappest colour coded maps on backs of envelopes etc… but yeah, 11 is my record and I’m leaving it at that before I lose my sanity completely.
July 1st, 2010 at 11:40 am
ok, so maybe 11 is it… or maybe i’m missing something.. either way i’ll join in saying i’m satisfied with 11. i’d rather drive my crappy car than waste another hour trying to get less than 11
July 1st, 2010 at 11:40 am
Wow, this took quite a while to figure out! Ended up doing a flow chart as well. Thanks for not sharing the path, it was challenging but appreciate my fair shot at the car! Can’t wait to see what the next one is like!
July 1st, 2010 at 11:49 am
abby did you make it in less than 11?
July 1st, 2010 at 11:50 am
The thing that makes me think there isn’t a secret pass or that the game jumps avery so often is that this is a skill game and playing at just the right time for somecthing to be revealed doesn’t really fit into that category. If there are a lot of finalists the connection will be slower so the time will even itself out.
July 1st, 2010 at 11:51 am
honestly i am going crazy here. i got 11 forks. i think i may have found the third fork. or whatever but i cant for the life of me figure out what to do, if there is a button to push soemthing that takes you to the house faster than everyone else. the person who got 9, by those hints can you please email me at erin_fayeee123@yahoo.com and explain how that means anything. if they are in order and what not. thanks, and if anyone else has hints or tip email me too. Please and thank you:)
July 1st, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Heather, nope. 11 was my number as well. I do not see how there is another way to get there in less forks?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Erin, where did you think the third fork was?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Tess: i think it is at the a-ka-lat sign. there are three roads. if you figure it out would you tell me. lol
July 1st, 2010 at 12:22 pm
haha if I figure it out yes but that is a very big if lol
July 1st, 2010 at 12:27 pm
I thought the 3 folks would be where the 3 footprints are but I was wrong. I think Volvo has designed the contest to take the first 50 people who submitted 11 forks and then will move them to the finals.
July 1st, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Frank-where are the 3 footprints?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I believe its on that page where if you click right it leads to that easter egg that has the information about the newborn vampires. it looks like 3 trails fo footprints on that page
July 1st, 2010 at 12:43 pm
OH yeah, I see it now. Thanks! Anyone find Bella’s backpack?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:47 pm
tess did you end up finding it?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Erin I see what you’re looking at but I can’t figure out what to do there
July 1st, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Frank. what makes you think that they are going to take the first 50 people?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Did anyone find the ring in the medow? i looked for ever. is it really there?
July 1st, 2010 at 1:10 pm
its funny how you can get back to all forks except the begining one with the eclipse.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:19 pm
No you can get back to the beginning, to get there you need to go left at the volturi madillion.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Frank, yes you can, if you go Left at the pond
July 1st, 2010 at 1:49 pm
also, is that a ’3′ in the trees where you thought there might be 3 forks?
http://i47.tinypic.com/aorm2h.png
July 1st, 2010 at 1:53 pm
You can get back to the fork with the Eclipse when you choose the wrong fork.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:55 pm
I have mapped everything out. I have gone at this for days. I am unable to get to the Cullens in less than 11 forks. All I want to know is where is Bellas backpack everyone is talking about?
July 1st, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Can’t find that (the backpack) or Jacob’s house either. Not to mention the following clues on the tickertape: “What’s that on the table?” “Did you find the treaty?” and “Why is the tree blocking the road?” There must be another fork/shortcut that hasn’t been opened to the majority of us. I’ve seen the one at A Ka Lat, but can’t for the life of me get to the far far right to make that turn. Plus, 11 just seems way too easy to be the answer.
July 1st, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Well, if you go to the visitors center and click on how to play it does mention that there will be some misleading clues so not all clues are suppose to be helpful.
July 1st, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Let’s hope those are the misleading clues… backpack, treaty, Jacob’s house, table, ice cold drink.
I figured since they said the backpack was brown that it probably was wet… but I couldn’t find it anywhere, brown or red.
I did notice, in the Volvo movie that comes up right after you enter your date of birth that there’s a very quick flash to the bar with the red truck. That was the only scene from the game in that lead-in that I could see. I spent ages on that page, looking for a 3rd fork or something that would zip me through to the Cullen house… but no luck.
July 1st, 2010 at 3:05 pm
could that little borwn thing covering the liscence plate of the red truck at the scene with the 2 deer be the backpack?
July 1st, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Also, one of the tickers is “has anyone been able to get into the shops?” Has anyone? I can’t see how that’s possible!
July 1st, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I think it’s just mud. I blew up the picture… looks like mud.
July 1st, 2010 at 4:03 pm
I wonder if on Flash if something can be clicked the mouse always will change? Any big computer people who know?
July 1st, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I didn’t play the game for New Moon so what happened with that? Were there a lot of people who got really close to the end?
July 1st, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Hi this is Bella Swan!
I was playing this game trying to win a new car for jasper. (at the same time i was trying to find a way to their house because i always get lost, and i would like to see them when they are not in vampire form)
anyway my car broke after the 3rd fork so i am not aware of how many forks it takes to get to their house. i would also appreciate it if someone would come pick me up and take me there in the shortest number of forks! thanks, it would mean a lot to jasper and i.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
you know you love me,
bella swan
p.s. i saw a goat singing at the gas station fork! i lolz’ed
July 1st, 2010 at 5:55 pm
oh and also if you could be a vampire when you pick me up that would be great! (i’m pulling a prank on edward…..i cant tell you guys about it, sorry. but its HILARRRIOUSSS)
lolz well i am off to get ready for my vampire transformation!
July 1st, 2010 at 5:56 pm
is there really a goat?
July 1st, 2010 at 6:15 pm
11 seems to obvious and easy (it’s what I got too). Plus so many of us haven’t solved all the clues, like the backpack or the treaty. I’ve been trying to think about “Bella is the Key.” Her address is 184 (added up = 13). Her birthday is September 13th. On the Riley missing sign, the phone # is 555-0133. I scoured her house and can’t find anything to click on or drag. Maybe I’m reaching here…just trying to put the pieces together to find a shorter path.
July 1st, 2010 at 6:21 pm
robin are you a vampire?????? if so pliss come get me! i need to find the house!
July 1st, 2010 at 7:14 pm
bella is the key.. also 13 letters. ? i have no idea, ugh this game… lol
July 1st, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Robin – ~Or~ her address added up can be further added 1+3 is 4; the same with her birthday. Plus the phone number adds up to 22, or 2+2=4??? Can it be done in four steps??
July 1st, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Can anyone tell me why the needle on the fire danger sign drops to low(left)when you scroll on it? Is this anything???
July 1st, 2010 at 10:58 pm
I am about to rip my hair out. i have been doing this for DAYS. and can’t get less than 11 forks. i drew a map. put together pieces. i can’t get the tickertape or whatever to work, and i’m using IE, i looked at all the easter eggs, everything. this is a pain. but i have to admit, it’s a bit easier than the last contest.
July 1st, 2010 at 11:03 pm
ps. for some reason, i’m getting a feeling that this whole ‘there is a 3rd fork thing’ is a clue to throw you off and make you look everywhere for half an hour each. i got the tickertape to work, and i’m not too sure about some of it. i got what everyone else did, 11 forks.
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:58 am
Hi, I’m not a Twilight fan, but really like this car!! So was trying the game out last night, for like 45 mins… Do you need to be a bit of a die hard fan of the Books / Film(s) / Program to have any hope of success here? I can’t quite believe they’d spend a whole load of money in game developer fees for a campaign to give away a car, so I can’t imagine that the game would be too difficult to crack, even for a non-TWI.
P.S. what will happen when I find this house? I have found a house already which shows you a movie clip of a couple chatting lying on a bed when you click in the right place (take it this is an Easter Egg – strange name)
July 2nd, 2010 at 2:14 am
Robin, I also found a few clues to the number of the shortest possible forks ans i believe that 11 is the shortest, for example the graduation party invitation on the pole at the bar says the date is the 11th, there are 11 people sitting around the bonfire. hopefully these are correct
July 2nd, 2010 at 5:03 am
I think the fire danger sign goes to low when you go left because you are “cold” and goes to danger when you a “hot” and move the mouse to the right.
July 2nd, 2010 at 6:15 am
MY NAME IS BELLA SWAN AND I DEMAND THAT A VAMPIRE PICKS ME UP AND TAKES ME TO THE CULLENS HOUSE SO I CAN WIN A CAR FOR JASPER!
July 2nd, 2010 at 6:40 am
Does anyone know what the red thing in the bushes is at the fork after the river where victoria is? I know its not the volturi necklace cause thats at the lake. I’m wondering if its Bella’s backpack, her red shirt that Riley took, or her blood that she smeared on the the trees?
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:08 am
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!
Did it in 3 forks after trying for like 8 hours to find this stupid shortcut everyone was talking about. It is seriously hard to find, but worth it when you do find it. Phew. Good luck guys.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:21 am
Why are people lying about getting there in less than 11 forks? Less than 11 is simply not possible. Why don’t you stupid little boys stop trying to annoy everyone with your lies. Idiots!
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:26 am
Who cares where the bloodsuckers live. Get yourself a Volkswagen Rabbit and a motorbike like me.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:30 am
Shut up Dog! Volvo is the best and I am 109 years old so I should know.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:31 am
Peter, that’s fine and dandy, lets see some proof.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:33 am
I scratched my girlfriend up good.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:33 am
Peter, if you really did it in 3 forks then how about a hint as to which direction you began with, at the eclipse. If you really did do it in 3 then the secret shortcut HAS to be within the first three decisions.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 am
If you get a Jeep like me you can get there in 0 forks. Guffaw!
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 am
Did anyone find a bonus at La Push Beach?
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 am
I can only get to Edwards house in 13 forks and everyone else can get there in 11. I am such a rubbish mortal girlfriend.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:47 am
Yeah Jacob gave me my first bonus on La Push beach the other day. He is supposed to wait so shhh don’t tell mummy and daddy.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:50 am
Peter is lying, 11 is the shortest. The rules say the least number or forks, but a shortcut is not even a fork. Peter is probably a gay teeneger who can’t come to terms with his sexuality.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
Peter is lying. 11 is the shortest and there are no shortcuts.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:59 am
Folks want to BS everyday…aint NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY did it in less than 11 forks with real proof. These are the same folks who sent fake images of folks standing infront of the 911 planes.
July 2nd, 2010 at 8:15 am
Who cares how many forks it takes to get to the bloodsuckers house. Get a Volkswagen Rabbit and a motorbike like me.
July 2nd, 2010 at 8:34 am
who is the vampire at the field where it gives info about the new borns? I thought it was victoria but once i made the bushes go down it was a male vampire in black with long hair. i dont think its Riley.
July 2nd, 2010 at 8:36 am
That is Jasper….
July 2nd, 2010 at 9:12 am
That is a seriously bad picture of Jasper, though. His hair looks very dark, not blonde.
July 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 am
Frank, Possibly the flash back vampire when the council was telling the story about the first wife.
July 2nd, 2010 at 10:52 am
David. I think it will be very difficult for you in the second phase, if you make it. this part is easy because it doenst require any knowlede of the books, it can help you with the clues and what you should stay away form but i doubt you will get the car unless you have some knowledge of the books, sorry :/
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:52 am
Can someone please say where bellas backpack is, and jacobs house?
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:07 pm
is tht jacobs house with the cop car and the boat pieces?
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:20 pm
It doesn’t look like any picture of Jacob’s house I’ve seen… anywhere. The red truck doesn’t look like Bella’s truck either… too new.
July 2nd, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Here is my theory. 11 is the shortest route in phase 1. Instructions state that some of the clues are meant to mislead us. I think that the backpack, Jacob’s house, etc. are either just that OR items coming in the final phase. Finalists will have to FIND the Cullen house AGAIN, view the scene, and after the “eclipse”, answer 3 questions about the scene in the shortest amount of time from the “Start” until the time they press submit. The Finalist who completes the final phase in the shortest amount of time from the Start until the Finalist presses “submit” will be the winner. What does that mean to me? I have a feeling it is not a matter of following the same route as in phase 1 & answering 3 questions the fastest. Note, it doesn’t say that the finalist has to find the shortest route to the Cullen house in the final phase; they have to complete Start to Submit the fastest. And, to make the game more interesting, finalists may only attempt the final phase ONCE. Anything received in excess will be void.
July 2nd, 2010 at 2:16 pm
How do I get into the 3rd fork? I think I foud it but i click on it and nothing happens.
July 2nd, 2010 at 5:18 pm
KAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET TO JACOBS HOUSE ? IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERY WHERE && ITS DRIVING ME NUTS .. I DONT WANT A HINT OR CLUE , I WANA KNOW HOW TO GET THERE !!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME PUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 2nd, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Yellow, Jacob’s house is not in there-it was just something to fake us out. Nobody has seen Jacob’s house or Bella’s backpack.
July 2nd, 2010 at 9:46 pm
I also believe that 11 is the answer because I have tried repeatedly to find a shortcut, secret route, and to follow some of these clues that people have posted on alternate sites and they dont exist. I believe that those who claim to have made it in fewer forks are lying to try and prevent people from submitting 11 as their final answer. Honestly, has ANYONE provided proof of their claims? I think not.
July 2nd, 2010 at 9:51 pm
There’s something big and red behind the trees on the screen that has the gravel forks, where if you fork left, you’re at the bonfire. I think it’s Jacob’s house. I couldn’t get it to do anything. This isn’t on the path that took me 11 forks. This isn’t giving anything away, if your like me, you’ve been at this fork numerous times.
July 3rd, 2010 at 8:49 am
I have been at it and there has to be something we are missing. So many people are getting the 11. If you watch the trailer, there are other forks that I have not seen even in the shots on this site. There is another way and we are missing it. Anyone find those forks and can give hints?
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:18 am
Ok, can you creeps stop role playing, obviously no one is a vampire or the real Bella, like really, get a life. We’re all just trying to win a car here.
July 3rd, 2010 at 10:46 am
The hints are actually very helpful but once you get close to the Cullens house they become much more subtle or nonexistent. The first step, the moon turns into an eclipse… pretty obvious. Look at the store names. All the clues follow with the story. If there is a wolf or dog.. go the other way. I hope this helps enough. I got to the end in 11 steps.
July 3rd, 2010 at 10:52 am
Oh and avoid the cops and take the road less traveled.
July 3rd, 2010 at 10:56 am
Renee, where did you watch the trailer for the game?
July 3rd, 2010 at 11:20 am
Wolfpack18′s picture at 156 is not photoshopped. Its an picture from second 59 of the Volvo Lost in Forks promotion video (if you pause at exactly right time). And Volvo thanks you for the mysterious clues…the more time people spend looking for “secret” places, the more free advertising we get.
July 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 am
Wolfpack18
I have figured out how you can’t argue with logic based on investigating EVERYTHING but am lost as to just how to apply this at the final screen. Can you provide a hint? Or maybe email me? LadyDelilah23@yahoo.com Thanks.
July 3rd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Hey everyone thanks for your continued support and feedback. The Where Is Edward Cullen staff has loved the feedback and interaction. You guys have been amazing. Only one day left to solve the game. I’ll be doing a lightning round of responses later this evening to any last minute emails we get, for those of you who still need help. We’re also hoping to maybe get some feedback/follow up from Volvo about the first round of the game, so hopefully they’ll get back to us. It would be cool if we could get some insight about the hints, etc.
Our readers could always tell them that they’d like to see a follow up interview for the site about the game,

Dear Alice and Wolfpack i too have followed wolfpacks clue i now understand them and have gotten to the final one however i like alice cannot understand how to apply it to the final scene that im at. If possible would one of you be able to email me at blondie06maria@hotmail.co.uk Thanks
July 3rd, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I also got to the Cullen house in 11 forks can’t do it in any less…. I’ve tried every single fork, can’t get to Jacob’s house either…
tried what wolfpack18 said and I didn’t get anywhere. I also have it everything written down, I know where each fork takes you too and there’s no way to do it in less than 11. Even though I agree it’s weird because it says that maybe only one gets it, so I don’t know… I really can’t figure out in you can actually do it in less than 11 forks.
Good luck!
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Alice and wolfpack18, Me too please. adklimo@gmail.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Me too. Wolfpack, any clues you can give at this last screen? My e-mail is rrdenk@aol.com. Thanks!
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Betsy, follow the clues heck w/ the map it can be done in 3
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:53 pm
i have given up. i cant get there in under 11.i emailed this guy and he gave me a hint about the third fork. awee well :/ i just hope volvo tells us the real answer.
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Alice what do you mean?
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Alice, what do you mean?
July 3rd, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Alice or Wolfpack I’m going absolutly insane with that one any help would be greatly appreciated. theresa.g.siver@earthlink.net
July 3rd, 2010 at 4:06 pm
how can you do it in 3? im not asking for the answer but just how. Is there a shortcut?
July 3rd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
I guess I’m asking the same thing as Sunglasses. I don’t want to be spoon fed the answer.It’s all about integrity. I love puzzles and I just need a tiny bit of guidance with this one.
July 3rd, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I guess I’m asking the same thing as Sunglasses. I don’t want the answer spoon-fed to be(where’s the integrity in that?) I love puzzles and just need some guidance on this one.
July 3rd, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Hey Alice!!!
You figured it out?!!!! Fabulous!!! I’m soooo impressed. Congratulations!!!
O.K.; I’m going back and try to figure out the clues again. I was just at it for two hours, but no luck. I’m going to try it again.
July 3rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm
If you guys hand any knowledge of the secret passage way would you tell me. Just some clues like what scene it’s at or something. I’m going crazy literally trying to find it. If you would rather email me it’s Erin_fayeee123@yahoo.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 5:29 pm
What does the 206 on the green house mean?
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:02 pm
ok so im defiantly going to the finale. i got it in 4 forks, and im not sharing. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:41 pm
wolfpack18…you won’t “defiantly” be going to the finale…’cause according to Alice, she’s “definitely” made it to the Cullen’s house in 3 moves. Bah ha ha
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Hey, FAKE wolfpack18 quit immitating me! I made it in 9 forks—-if someone made it in 3 great job to them. But the clues are RIGHT IN FRONT of you we will just see what happens, and after tomorrow, I WILL reveal how I got 9.
The picture I put up IS from the Volvo Promotion Video, BUT I just pulled it from the flash, because I don’t know how to do a screenshot,……otherwise I would gladly TRY to find the house in 9 forks again and PROVE it..but it is really hard to do. Volvo, you must not wanted very many people to find it. I can tell you that it is within the first 4 forks and I started off going RIGHT I hope that helps. Oh, btw you will see Jacobs house and the table and the treaty is on the table. However, I still didn’t find bella’s backpack or the Mailbox?? but like I said, it is very hard to find it.
But please don’t immitate me, I didn’t make it in 4 forks, I made it in 9. Good luck people and have a great 4th of July!!!
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Hey all, good for you wolfpack18. I wish I could find it like you did. I know the rout and you took (Thanks for the hints) and got to the 4 like you are referring to but cant seem to find the way out of 4 to the cullen house. I will be giving up soon for bed. If you can get it in the 9, the 4 is the same rout, I just cant seem to find the way out of 4 to the cullen house. Congrats to you though. If you decide to give me a hint, please e-mail me rrdenk@aol.com. Thanks again for all of the hints. This was way fun!!!!!
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Alice please help me i got 11 but my sister is turning 16 and we need a present! or a shot at one at least please help me mariellecar@aol.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:50 pm
wolfpack18: id it a button you push or something that just appears in time to get you through. is it something to do with the second right like someone else was talking about.. thank you please e-mail me at erin_fayeee123@yahoo.com if you would rather people know the answers. please and thank you. and if you want to e-mail me after it ends thats fine. lol at this point i just want to be able finish it in less than 11,, thanks:)
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Alice, did you find the way in the screen? rrdenk@aol.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 8:06 pm
alice and wolfpack18 can you please help me get less than 11. I am very lost ally_peace_love@yahoo.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 8:37 pm
Wolfpack & Alice
I’ve been doing this since it started. I can do it in 11 just fine, but just can’t seem to do it in less. I’m at my wits end here, and am going against my pride, and asking for help. Could you email me? breakyourlittleheart12@yahoo.com
July 3rd, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Alice, would you please let us know your 3 moves after the 4 July deadline. Many thanks for putting me out of my misery!
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:06 pm
You know, Alice never out right said she made it in 3. She said it was possible (the exact same thing she’s been saying onmessage boards for days) plus she was asking wolfpack for help to get there in 9 forks just sayin…
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:11 pm
You guys, these people are messing with you!!! Sheesh!
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Oh by the way, does anyone know what the house number 206 means? You can click on it and it magnifies…what does it mean?
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Also, does anyone know what the house number 206 means? You can click on it and magnify it but it doesn’t seem significant?
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:18 pm
can anyone please help me i am desperate.
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:46 pm
well im just gonna throw it out there and see if i get lucky… wolfpack18, some help here please? my e-mail is pc2_luckygurl@yahoo.com i really would appreciate it. could you maybe tell me what scene exactly that you can jump from? or the scene before it? im desperate.
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:54 pm
also wolfpack18, did you have to click on a bunch of different things? or did you just click on one thing to jump you to the other pages?
July 3rd, 2010 at 11:55 pm
it is possible to get it done in 10
it has nothing to do with the moves
its all about when you move

July 3rd, 2010 at 11:58 pm
drake can you give anymore specifics please? I’m about 2 seconds from pulling my hair out in frustration
July 3rd, 2010 at 11:59 pm
Drake, do you have any suggestions on when to move?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:01 am
Drake, do you have any suggestions on when to move?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:02 am
Drake, do you have any suggestions on when to move?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:04 am
Drake, do you have any suggestions about when to move?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:12 am
Okay I’ve played this every day since the thing started. I’ve mapped. Clicked randomly. Tried following Wolfpacks clues but I dont understand them. I can’t get it in less than 11 forks. ANY and ALL tips would be AWESOME! Thank you
aly.hargrove@gmail.com
July 4th, 2010 at 12:16 am
Drake, any suggestions on when to move?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:18 am
the first round ends at noon central time on july 4
better hurry
July 4th, 2010 at 12:21 am
in drake’s screen shot, the 0 in 10 forks is different than the 0 in 10 a.m.
i think its fake
July 4th, 2010 at 12:23 am
now dont you think if i wanted to fake it i would have just copied and pasted the 10 in 10 am over the real score?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:24 am
Any tips for me Drake?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:26 am
@ Drake: When you made it in 10 forks did it matter where you clicked on the “go left/go right”? And when you say it’s all about when you move do you mean how quickly you click on your decision to go left or right? I would love any advice please. I have made it in 11 forks and am beside myself trying to find it in less. Any suggestions or advice would be FANTASTIC! Thank you!!
Daisees4Me@aol.com
th
July 4th, 2010 at 12:26 am
its all about waiting at a certain spot
if you wait until a certain thing is in a certain place at one of the forks when you choose the right direction one of the scenes is missing
i cant say any more without actually giving out the answer
July 4th, 2010 at 12:33 am
Could you say what scene we have to wait at or what we’re waiting for but not the scene?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:37 am
@ Drake: Any clues on about how many forks there is to that certain spot?? Pretty please?? Email me!
July 4th, 2010 at 12:40 am
just pay attention to the screen
you will notice at some forks things will slowly move
July 4th, 2010 at 12:47 am
this is so frustrating.
ive thought of everything.
July 4th, 2010 at 12:52 am
dont worry
you still have like 9 hours
July 4th, 2010 at 12:53 am
I really must be crazy to play with this thing for as much as I have over the last couple of days….aghhh!!!
Anyway, just thinking about what drake said…the first fork with the moon does change on it’s on into an eclipse. Don’t know if that’s significant or not. I’ve tried my normal 11 fork path with the moon in full and in the eclipse mode and didn’t notice any differences. hmmmm wonder if anyone else has any luck?
Also, drake….did you ever find Bella’s backpack, the treaty, or Jacob’s house?
July 4th, 2010 at 12:56 am
I tried the eclipse thing as well.
i’ve only seen one other thing move on its own, and i clicked when that changed too.
nothing happened then either.
July 4th, 2010 at 12:57 am
no ive submitted 10 as my score but ive kept playing to find all the extras and i cant find those 3
July 4th, 2010 at 12:59 am
thought about when the “open” sign in town is on/off…and when the light’s on the police car are on/off..no luck with that either for me
i’m officially nuts…4am my time
July 4th, 2010 at 1:02 am
This is driving me nuts!! It is 3 a.m. here and my husband just laughs at me because I am still trying!
July 4th, 2010 at 1:07 am
Kind of like how it was reading the books…couldn’t put them down. It’s frustrating but fun too to know that everyone with 11 won’t be getting in. Jury’s still out on the 9 and the 3 fork submissions, but we’ll know soon.
I hope Volvo will still leave it open for people to play with but just disable the submission part once the 1st phase of the contest is over. That way we can prove all of the other <11 paths.
July 4th, 2010 at 1:07 am
i hope i get the volvo
that would be amazing
ive wanted one ever since i saw new moon
and since they cost like $40,000 ive just kept looking for salvage ones so i can get one cheap even if it doesnt run xD
im also playing the burger king collect to win game for the volvo xc60
god i hope i get one
omg what if i got one from this and one from burger king!
then i could hold a volvo giveaway
July 4th, 2010 at 1:09 am
Drake, could you atleast give some sort of a clue as to which direction you started off with, or after how many forks was it until this ‘thing’ was in the right place on the screen?
July 4th, 2010 at 1:14 am
i started left
July 4th, 2010 at 1:18 am
I even waited until the wolf’s eyes turn yellow. Nothing.
This is driving me so crazy!
I’m gonna need some intense Twilight therapy when this contest is over in a few hours and I lost.
July 4th, 2010 at 1:19 am
i went left
July 4th, 2010 at 1:20 am
I tried asking Drake that Amanda and he wouldn’t budge on any info.
July 4th, 2010 at 1:26 am
anyone who says its less than 11 is lying
all the clues point to 11
the 2 L’s in “cullen” and “bella” resemble the number 11
“lost in forks” is 11 letters
the graduation party is on the 11th
also “bellas house” is 11 letters
basically everything has to do with 11
anyone who is posting saying they got it in less than 11 is just trying to make you overthink and hope you cross the deadline without submitting your 11 forks
July 4th, 2010 at 2:12 am
well dern…i’ve used the clues that wolfpack18 gave us, and i’m not sure what i can do now..so wolfpack18, can you give me another hint or two? Please and thank you…If you do decide to help me, my email is: vampire_lover183@yahoo.com
July 4th, 2010 at 3:11 am
I’m wondering if after this is done we can all file a lawsuit against Volvo to compensate us for lost wages….lol….I, myself, have been running this through my mind constantly – it’s a wonder I’ve gotten anything done!
To all those who have gotten it in less than 11 forks, congratulations! You all clearly have a better intuitive sense than the rest of us.
And for everyone asking all those people for help, stop already! Seriously….if you can’t get it by yourself, what’s the point? The second round is all about speed…..those of us still struggling to find less than 11 forks at this point are not going to be the same people winning the car. So let them be in peace…..and wish them good luck in the second round already!!
July 4th, 2010 at 5:35 am
The 206 is Edward’s birthday reversed.
July 4th, 2010 at 6:40 am
Has anyone else gotten a hand symbol instead of a cursor at any of these forks? I thought when the cursor turned to a hand it meant something was clickable?
July 4th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Yes me too…(re hand) but nothing happens
July 4th, 2010 at 6:49 am
@Dianne – are you able to click when the hand is there and it just doesn’t lead anywhere?
July 4th, 2010 at 6:50 am
PS – I’m getting to the point that I just don’t care anymore, but it’s like having a puzzle where one piece is missing…you can’t scrap the whole thing and you obsess until you find it. I hope at the close of the contest someone does post exactly how they got it in less than 11 so I can actually stop thinking about it.
July 4th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Able to click but nothing happens. I have a feeling the hand is important. Just cant find what. Hmmm light bulb going back in to try something.
July 4th, 2010 at 7:33 am
I think it’s important too. I just had it on several screens, but then the Volvo transition video came on and it’s now gone.
July 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
@JG LOL…me too. But I’m obsessive enough to keep trying till the last minute.
July 4th, 2010 at 7:39 am
UGH!!! It’s enough to make me pull my hair out. I’m with LooHoo @295 – this is insane….I do believe there is fewer than 11, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out how. Good Luck Dianne!
July 4th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Naw…I think it disappears after the time frame is up and it means start over…I tried to drag. Doesn’t appear to be the answer. But maybe my timing was wrong and I think you need to wait till you see the hand to move,
July 4th, 2010 at 8:11 am
Drake, does it have anything to do with sound?
July 4th, 2010 at 8:49 am
The hand cursor appears random.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:07 am
I’ll actually be kind of glad when this last hour is up. Hopefully Alice/Wolfpack/someone will explain in depth what all those “clues” meant and we can go about our lives again. Good luck to everyone who is still trying to decipher the code.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:10 am
@Nikki….ditto your sentiments about Alice, WP18, and Drake explaining to the rest of us how they got anything less than 11.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:14 am
UGHHHHHHH. This is frustrating and I decided that I need a life. Holy cow. Douche Bag.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:20 am
I think these 3, 9 and 10 fork people are messing with everyone…
July 4th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Well I have submitted my one and only answer. I have tried and tried to lower the number of forks it has taken me and I am not having any luck. I guess it’s better to have entered it with what I have than to not enter it at all — just in case other people or telling stories to throw everyone off. Good luck everyone! And congratulations to though who were able to get to the Cullen house in less amount of forks as myself
July 4th, 2010 at 9:25 am
That was supposed to say “And congratulations to THOSE who were able to get to the Cullen house in less amount of forks than myself” See… lack of sleep is a BAD thing!
July 4th, 2010 at 9:27 am
If it makes anyone feel better, I have looked at several international sites promoting the contest and they all seem to be getting 11 as well…..if it truly is 11, I’ll be completely irritated that I spent so much time looking for a shorter route! :/
July 4th, 2010 at 9:48 am
And for those that do get emailed on the 8th that they’re a finalist, best of luck to you. I just think that it has to be less than 11 so congrats to those that make it!
Guess I can get my life back.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:50 am
For what it’s worth, a host of international sites are also reporting 11. Only a few more minutes….
July 4th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Only 10 more minutes! I have wasted countless hours on this game looking for these alleged shortcuts. If they exist, which I still am torn about, I guess it was not my fate to find them. At this point its no longer about the car for me, its simply that I want to crack this game.
Good luck to everyone. If there really are less than 11 moves I hope someone will give detailed explanations of how it was done.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:53 am
I’m with you Cassie. I just want to see the solution and how it works. The car would be great, but I’m not in it for that anymore.
July 4th, 2010 at 10:02 am
ok now can someone tell me how to do it? no car for me ):
July 4th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Hopefully Wolfpack18, Alice, and Drake will share their shortcuts now that it is over
July 4th, 2010 at 10:04 am
OK, the contest is officially closed so it’s time to fess up on how you got less than 11!!
July 4th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Yeahhh! And its closed woohoo no more obsessiveness
July 4th, 2010 at 10:09 am
OK, time’s up, but the game still seems to be working. wolfpack18, Alice, Drake: Prove you were telling the truth by giving us all detailed explanations of your methods, please.
July 4th, 2010 at 10:09 am
now someone tell me the freaking answers!!! (: lol please? i still want to know. it sux when you put so much time into something and it just doesnt work out… ):
July 4th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Hi everyone. I have not recieved an email so obviously people got there in less than 11 forks. Could you put me and many other out of our misery now and tell us exactly how? Please make it idiot proof as I couldn’t work out any of the clues Alice, and wp18 were hinting at.
Did you get thru’ wolfpack, drake and alice?
July 4th, 2010 at 10:16 am
OK…Its done. Anyone want to come clean?
July 4th, 2010 at 10:17 am
Jan, according to the official rules I believe it said finalists would be notified on or around July 8th. It could still be 11 forks…
July 4th, 2010 at 10:17 am
OK…Its done. Anyone want to come clean?
@Jan…no email till 8th.
July 4th, 2010 at 10:18 am
Jan,
In the rules it says to check your email on or about July 8th, so there’s still hope for those of us who got there in 11! Unless, of course, those people who got there in 10 or less are telling the truth!
I hope whoever wins is someone who truly needs it!
July 4th, 2010 at 10:20 am
I think the correct number is 4, but have no clue how that could be done. Least I got was 11 and I didn’t get an email from Volvo. I can’t stand a puzzle that I can’t solve! Alice, WP18, etc who did it in less than 11, please tell us how you got there!
July 4th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Susan, Volvo says those getting the shortest route will get an email from Volvo on or about July 8th, so don’t give up hope yet!
July 4th, 2010 at 10:42 am
The tickertape only works when you are also logged on to facebook, and have “liked” the Lost in Forks page. Someone on facebook said they did it in 9!!??? hmmmmm
July 4th, 2010 at 10:49 am
I just checked and the game is closed, but now it says you will get an email on or around July 5th instead of the July 8th it stated last night. I’m hoping 11 is the magic number and I get an email… Good luck to everyone
July 4th, 2010 at 11:05 am
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
I am now dating Robert Pattinson.
We are getting married soon!
Also I am pregnant with his child but relax, he is not really a vampire. I was relieved to find out.
July 4th, 2010 at 11:08 am
Betty Ann,
Please respect the freedom for comments on this site. Don’t abuse that freedom by posting lies.
July 4th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Robert is not dating you. He is dating my cat named Kristen. Robert is the name of my male cat
LOL
July 4th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
The site is now closed and I didn’t get an email so I guess others got it in less than 11 forks. Please can someone put me out of my misery and tell me how. The game is still live in the UK so I’ll understand if you don’t want to.
Did Alice Drake and wolfpack make it???
July 4th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Thanks Cassie and Sammie. Guess there is still a slight chance then. Please ignore comment 308 I’ve spent too much time in front of this screen in the last few week, and lost the plot.
July 4th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
ok so i got it in 10 and i havent recieved an email yet
if you go back to the lostinforks site it says closed and if you click the closed sign it takes you to the rules which also explains the final round
i dont think the shortest route was 11 because in the rules it says something about “if one person finds the shortest route they will win, if two or more find the shortest route they will be ‘finalists’ in the tiebreaker round”
it also says the final round you have to find your way to the cullens house again then they will show you a video clip and whoever answers the 3 questions about the clip in the shortest time wins.
heres the site
http://www.customers.volvocars.com/newmoon/termsandconditions.aspx
July 4th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Right. I’m in the UK so I’m still playing but I’ve exhausted the forks from repeated clicking and map-making. I know a map mightn’t have been a good idea due to “not thinking outside the box” but from what I’ve figured, there IS no route shorter than 11, because the last 4/5 forks can only be reached by the previous fork, and there IS no other shorter route to get to, for example, ‘the part of the forest with the wolves’. I’m guessing it’s 10 and that’s my final answer
July 4th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
OOPS sorry meant to say I’m guessing it’s 11 and THAT’S my final answer
July 4th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I am in Colorado but left the site open on my browser so i am still able to play. i know that if i reach the end ill not be able to start over again but im still trying to figure out those last clues that wolfpack18 gave. Please anyone who knows how in 2-9 forks write the answer. ITS OVER and i cant stop till i kno.
July 4th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
@Drake,
Can you tell the rest of us how you ended up with 10? Which fork were you able to skip and how?
July 4th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Notice how none of the so called “less than 11 forks” players have come on to say what they did? Doubt it happened!
July 4th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
doesn’t seem as if anyone has gotten an email yet
July 4th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I don’t see why everyone is freaking out about the part in the rules where what happens if only one or two people get the answer. Volvo had to put everything imaginable in the contract so they wouldn’t get sued. I wouldn’t be too worried about it
July 4th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I know it’s after the fact now, but does anyone know why the billboard said SUBBI dog food? What is Subbi?
July 4th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Anyone who got through to the final round want to spill the beans? I would love to know how you figured this out!
July 4th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
I’m guessing that that little wooden stick with the red tape on it is what Drake is talking about. It moved very slowly.
I only got there in 11 forks.
July 4th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
So those of you who got it in less than 11, could you spill the beans now?
July 4th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
PLEASE! This contest kept me up at night!
July 4th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Nobody really got there in less than 11, so they have no beans to spill. Does it not seem odd to you that hours after contest closed, nobody came out to claim their fame and disprove all the naysayers?
July 4th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
I agree with you Michelle. I am still hoping for an email.
July 4th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Only because I want to see phase 2.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Hey, rules say one won’t get an email till later.See statement below:
Notification of Finalists: Potential Finalists will be notified via email on or about July 8, 2010 and will be required to participate in the Final Phase to be eligible for the opportunity to win the Grand Prize
July 4th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Nicky and Heather you are soo true. Why wont Wolfpack18 or Drake spill the beans on how they got less than 11? How hard is it? Come on smart guys tell us how you got less than 11 (not trying to be mean)
July 4th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Ok so the 4th is offically over (on the east coast anyway). So here is how I got 9 forks, the best that I can explain it.
BEDANDMATTRESSES
(After taking a right at the eclipse you end up at the shops, so go the way of bed and mattresses)
EVERYDOGHASHISDAY (The dog print points to the right, so go right)
LOVEISTHEWAY (If look very closely on the big tree on the the same side of the campsite sign you’ll see an almost perfect heart, go that way, which is Left)
LOOKOUTFORJACOB (The smoke is coming from the campsite, which is where Jabob is, so this is warning you to look out for him when you go this way on your journey)
AKANOTONLYMEANSALSOKNOWNAS
(Ok, this one was sort of hard to get because, this meant that a-ka-lat is “top of the rock” and that is where the secret link is, you must slowly take your mouse over each rock until you reach the top of it, and when you have found the link, your pointer will turn into a hand, but it will NOT say go left or go right, just be a hand, click on this link, and I don’t know for sure if it was even counted as a fork, but I don’t think so?)
INVESTIGATEEVERYTHING (this is another clue, to make sure you investigate everything before choosing left or right)
SANDYBEACHES
TANNINGISANONO(Ok, once you click on that link you are taken to the fork that is like the pic I posted, if you go strait,(which is Right) it brings you right back to the shops, (where the tanning salon is) The sign on the left says Welcome to La Push) So, go left and you are now at Jabobs house.
(At Jabob’s house it plays a clip of Jabob and Bella and then if you search around a little you can see a table through the window, and here you can click on the Treaty)
HOTWEATHERIDONTTHINGSO
EVERYTHINGISNOTWHATITSEEMS
KEENEYESIGHTREQUIRED
(From Jabob’s House, if you go Left you end up at The level with the ‘Fire’ meter, also if you look on that board you will see in top of the tree there is a sign that says ice-cold drinks and an arrow pointing to the left, which is a misleading clue)But if you look very close you will see there is a tree blocking the way to ice cold drinks and also there is a small deer with what looked like an arrow of spots on the right)
ENDISALWAYSNEAR
YOUCANTARGUEWITHLOGIC(Now you are at the board with the snow blowing to the right, which means, that going right from this board is the ‘logical way to go’
This all spells out Bella is the Key, which means that if you follow the signs of Bella as well as the signs of Edward then you will be staying on the right track)
Note: I have NOT received an email yet, so 9 prob isn’t the shortest route either:(
July 4th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Note: I know that it is Jacob and not Jabob, but for some reason I just kept typing his name as Jabob instead of Jacob and never went back to correct it lol Sorry Twilight Fans My Bad!
July 4th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
wolfpack18 thank u for explaining how u supposedly got to the end in 9 forks im not trying to be rude or anything but we have yet to see a screen shot of this if u could post it i along with many others would be grateful….i too made it in eleven forks and have spent countless hours trying to find a shorter route…?
July 4th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Megan– I don’t know how to do a screen shot, but it really wouldn’t matter much now anyway the game is closed and I can’t access it anymore, can you?
I said that I would reveal after the end date and I did, believe if you want it doesn’t matter to me anyway, because I still must have missed a fork or two:(
July 4th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
WP18: Sorry, but can you tell me what scene it was where you clicked on the top of the rock? Was it at the A-Ka-Lat split itself or at the beach? Just trying to figure out where I missed out. I don’t remember there being any rocks at the split. Thanks!
July 4th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
I kept a browser up and can stilll play around on the game sorry Wolfpack that doesn’t work
July 4th, 2010 at 11:59 pm
Wolfpack can you please tell me what direction you went up until you got to the place yo found a shortcut? I have the game open in another tab and it’s still letting me play around with it. It’s driving me absolutly crazy and I need to see what and where I missed. Thanks
July 5th, 2010 at 1:50 am
WP18; Thanks for taking the time to explain your clues. Thanks for leaving them in the first place. I’ve been reading and re-reading what you’ve written, and there’s something that’s bothering me. Maybe you can clear it up for me?
The “LOOKOUT FOR JACOB” clue.
You state in your explanation that one is to lookout for him “when you go this way on your journey”. So, you’re saying to have gone “left” when on that page? Well, that led to the scene at the campfire, is that correct?
If I remember correctly, the only thing to do was find the easter egg which led to the posters of Bella and Jacob. Was there another link in that scene that led to your next clue? Cause if there was, you didn’t mention it.
The only thing I remember being able to do ‘navigationally’ in the campfire scene was to go back to that fork that led to that scene.
So, my question is: if that fork led to what seemed to be (to me) a dead end, why would you take it, knowing that it would just add one more fork to your tally?
Thanks.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:06 am
Hey Wolfpack, im just interested you said to go over the top of rocks you see i did that several times but never found a link at any time during the game, we are on about the rocks at the beach right? i ran my cusor over the tops of them including the trees.
Kim : actually i think ull find that if you took a left at the campsite it brought you to the 2 way path with the red thing and that then took you to the dog poster or the footprints path
But aw well the games over now
July 5th, 2010 at 7:05 am
I had the game open on my computer when the time ran out yesterday and since I have kept it open since then it has let me continue to “Try Again”. So I am currently following wp18′s directions to see where they lead. I interpret the “Look out for Jacob” note and description to mean that I do need to go right at that screen TOWARDS to smoke. This takes you to the screen with the cop car and there are rocks scattered all over the ground. Still trying to find a special link.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:13 am
Breaking down WP18s solution:
Eclipse to Town – Right
Town (BEDANDMATTRESSES) to EVERYDOGHASHISDAY – Left
Green House w/ Dog Billboard he said he went Right which for me (and probably the rest of us led to the Road Left/Dirt Right site)
LOVEISTHEWAY he takes a Left which leads to the Tiretracks site.
It’s unclear which direction WP18 took from this site (assuming that the Tiretracks and LOOKOUTFORJACOB are one and the same).
For me, taking a Right goes to the Police Car, a Left takes you to House #206 w/ the Masen truck.
Either way, neither of these leads to the A-Ka-Lat site which is supposedly where the special hand is located on a rock.
The A-ka-lat site can only be reached by taking a right from town initially or from a left at the bar..not from the Tire Tracks site.
It certainly sounds plausible, however, that the A-Ka-Lat sign was a clue to find the “top of the rock” to get a special link.
I just don’t see how he found A-Ka-Lat from the Tiretracks.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
July 5th, 2010 at 8:30 am
Damn! I knew it had something to do with the hand…Thanks WP18. @Cassie…wish I had done that! I was so frustrated @ the end… Hey everybody contact Volvo @ the above links (comment 254) ask them to reopn the site without the entry form.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:34 am

July 5th, 2010 at 8:37 am
Hi Lorey. Thanks for trying to clear this up for me, but now I’m more confused. Um, the campsite(?) that I’m refering to is the screen where there was a tree, and two paths. To the right was an old weathered ‘barn’.
To the left was another ‘path’. Further left of the tree there was the reddish bush.
I checked the map I made, and if one were to go ‘left’, as WP18 suggests, that resulted in the ‘campfire scene’. There was an easter egg that when clicked on, showed a picture of Bella and Jacob. There were three buttons that allowed for different sized of the picture to be downloaded, and to the left of those three buttons, there was one that read: “Go Back”. That’s the scene I’m refering to.
WP18 said that the smoke was coming from the campsite. That’s correct. And when I clicked on it, it took me left, to the camp scene I just wrote of.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:51 am
Hey kim yes i refer to that as the 2 way path with the bunker aka old weathered barn if you took a left at that it took u to the reservation i like to refer it to or the council meeting with the downloadable jacob and bella pic. yes the smoke is going from left to right and if you go right you end up at the river. However im not sure if wolfpack is on about that.. maybe he could tell us later which one it is i thought he was on about the one with the campsite sign and the tree that lite up sorry if ive confused you more
July 5th, 2010 at 8:52 am
Lorey & Kim, I think you are both confusing what screen he’s talking about with smoke. If you follow his instructions it takes you to a screen (which you get to by going right at the screen with the dog billboard then left at the screen where the road goes left and a path goes right with the “campsite” SIGN). The scene is very gray and wet-looking and has a road that goes straight (left-ish) and a road that curves down to the right. At the right there is smoke. If you go right towards the smoke it takes you to the cop car screen where there are rocks scattered about. Hope that helps.
However, I still have not found any secret links at this page, but I will continue to look for a while since I have the fortune/curse of still having the game open on my computer.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:55 am
When are they going to email us to tell us if we were one of the ones who got it in the shortest time?

July 5th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Hey Cassie yes i know what scence ur on about the one with the cop car, the row boats and the little house like place that i think is jacobs house anyway because if u remember back to new moon when jacob phases and goes to attack paul he runs straight from his house phases over bellas head and they both roll towards the woods smashing a row boat into pieces. I studied that scene many times too and i searched any rock and every rock from the day that wolfpack first gave his clues but no avail hopefuly he explains again id appreciate it to know how he did it clearly so i can finally know if 9 was the shortest route. Thanks for ur help
July 5th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Ok…here’s a thought or two. The AKALAT site really did have 3 forks and there was a rock, I think, in the middle of the two roads to the left. Perhaps what WP18 said about a special passageway is right. The only thing is that the AKALAT site is a Right from Town or from a left at the bar, not anywhere connected to the Police car site. Cassie, can you go to the AKALAT site and see if there is a rock and 3 forks and look for a hand there?
July 5th, 2010 at 9:24 am
If you go left at the fork with the campsite sign it took you to the tire tracks, la push was a dead end that you could only get to from the gas station. As far as I could tell the gas station the wrong way. If you got there so fast you would have had to take a right at the shops to a-ka-lat. We’ll see pretty soon but I went over all the scenes very slowly and found no shortcut.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Hi Cassie. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I realize now that I had the wrong scene in mind. Are you still playing? Have you been able to duplicate his moves? I wish I’d of been clever enough to keep the page up after the ‘times up’. Pretty cool!
July 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
As best I can tell, WP18 went R,L,R,L and then right. This path doesn not take you to the A-KA-LAT sign or to the La Push beach (beach with big rocks in the water; dead end). The two options after that fork (what I call the “pot-hole dirt road on the left” and the “curving dirt road with smoke in the background” on the right) are the police car and the boat house.
Maybe the LaPush beach did have a shortcut on the “top of the rock” (top of ONE rock, maybe) although I spent a long time on that page because it seemed like there should be SOMETHING there. I didn’t find anything… no cursors changing shape, no video clips or photos, nothing. So maybe La Push was a special place and most of us didn’t find it. I’m still not convinced. We’ll find out for sure later this week!
July 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
WOW! A fire sign, an ice cold drinks sign, a tree blocking the way to the ice cold drinks AND a deer with an arrow of spots all in the same picture! I also like that the Shops suddenly have a Welcome to La Push sign. Nice touch.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Ice Cold Drinks directly above the Fire sign? How odd. The shops also suddenly come up with a Welcome to La Push sign? That’s amazing. The more people that get into the 2nd round, the better for Volvo…more free advertising. How would it benefit them if like 5 people made it?
July 5th, 2010 at 10:05 am
Also, to the people who still want to test different theories… if you google “Lost in Forks” and “Singapore” (where the game is open until 7/8), you can still play. Even if you can submit an entry, a U.S. citizen won’t win because they went through the Singapore site, but you can still play for the fun of it.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
I went right, left but then left because there was actually another clue in the shop window with the indian stuff. Starting at left side of window it basically said, “from bar, stay sober, eyes open” The from bar went down left side of window and the M was on the red book/picture. bar was vertical next to that. “stay” was under the large film reel thing and it had a red Y. sober was spelled out at the bottom of the window in individual letters. In the upper left corner of that same window you see what is the mountains behind the bar and partial words.
If you sit at the bar long enough what you will read along top of mountains (through the smoke and clouds which are constantloy moving and make this very difficult as it all cannot be seen at once) are the words “gate for party left” and then the word Here started above the chimney at the mountain top. The H was pretty obvious but hard to see the E and R through the smoke column, the final E in here was ON the chimney itself. If you look closeloy even without magnification there are tiny what look like white dots on the chimney brick on the right and one in the middle, they’re actually individuals letters O P E N. In the store image you can see what looks like the word TOP but is the word TO and beginning of Party. Window also showed these tiny flecks which I could never make out in the window but looked for as a result in the bar scene and since the HERE word went vertically into the chimney what better place to start looking. that’s all I have to say on the subject. I’ve emailed the best pics to show this to someone already and hopefully they will be able to confirm for you as I’m clueless on getting screenshots on here.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:20 am
whatever, lol
July 5th, 2010 at 10:33 am
Hey Alice which bar are you talking about in your comment the ‘late night bar’ or the bar with the graduation poster next to it
July 5th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I thought that was clear in the first sentence of my post. Besides, does the bar by the shops have mountains behind it with a chimney?
July 5th, 2010 at 10:50 am
The only 2 people on the site that claimed to have did it in less than 11 forks cant even explain how they did it this is comical really!!! the first part of the competition is over and theyre still trying to bs everyone about how they did it wolfpacks makes no sense and alice thinks shes the alice from the movie as shes the only person seeing these visions ‘clues’ gate of party left here down a chimney its like stuff jk rowling wrote in her harry potter books, i think everyone can see now that they both have been lying to the rest of us and are still not even sure how many forks or the path they took because they still havent given us simply right left or shortcut answers for example top or rock could mean anything rock at the beach rock on the road or a rock out your back garden and as for gate for party left here at a chimney is totally insane and if you take a left at the bar you arrive at the aka-lat sign so i think its time alice and wolfpack told the truth dont you all
July 5th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Hi guys, alice did you do it in 3 forks then???? Was your shortcut at the bar then???
July 5th, 2010 at 11:06 am
I am wondering if the game is slightly modified depending upon which country you are playing from. I am in Canada (where the game is still open) and WP18′s clues give me different outcomes (like JJ, post 340)
Thanks, though, everyone for your clues – even with them I am not getting anywhere! Best of luck, all.
July 5th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Hi everyone. I didn’t leave the game open but can still play it. It is live in the UK until 20th Aug http://www.volvocars.com/uk/campaigns/lostinforks/Pages/default.aspx or google “lost in forks uk”
Wolfpack18. Thanks for the clues. I have scrawled all over the rocks by the police car and the boats but can’t find the han you are referring to. Am I at the correct fork or have I missed something in your instructions?
July 5th, 2010 at 11:24 am
I mnet hand not han. My typing skills are getting worse.
July 5th, 2010 at 11:25 am
Yes i seen that too jan that it was live in the uk but its only open to UK residents and it states that in the T & C if they find out youve been lying about where you live and which country you are not eligable to win the car
July 5th, 2010 at 11:41 am
I have the US version still open and it’s letting me play around still. I’v trried everything wolfpack said and looking for things Alice saw and I’m sorry, but I’m not getting anywhere. I’m sure it’s possible that I’m just missing it all, but I’m pretty sure I’m not so I guess all we can do now is wait and see who gets an email
July 5th, 2010 at 11:44 am
John—-The reason I didn’t put the answer on here is because Admin said not to! So I will post it now, if it get’s ‘canned’ so be it.
R L R L R (cop car, find hidden link at the TOP of one of the rocks, it will turn your cursor into a hand, but will not say go left or go right, click that)
Now you are at the fork like in my picture)
now go L, (you are now at Jacob’s house, move your pointer around and near the door there will be an easter egg that shows a clip of Bella and Jacob) now go R then R (you are now back at the next to last board, the one where the snow is blowing right, so now go R
Soooooo.. to get it in 9 go
R, L, R, L, R, (find the link), L, R, R which takes you back to the cullen house)
There ya go………as they say, we’ll see what happens, but if people have gotten it in 3 or 4 then I know 9 isn’t the shortest:(
Very interesting Alice, but it does seem a little “OUT THERE” sorry.
July 5th, 2010 at 11:53 am
John i think ur email to wolfpack was a bit mean he did post the answer in all fairness and clues so good on ya wolfpack! as for john i think he owes an apology to go u!
July 5th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Hi lorey. I know you can’t win the car on the uk site if you don’t live in the uk but can you still play the game?
I have been playing on the US site knowing that I am not eligable but I’m still hoping for the email just to play the 2nd round. I did receive an email from volve and got really excited. Sadly it just posted a link to the UK game. Still the 8th is not too for away!!!
July 5th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Hey jan im sure ull get an email fingers crossed!! here sure we can still try out the clues on the uk one what you think sure why not have a go anyways lol
July 5th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Hi jac. I know rage or what but sure we can even have a wee crack at those clues on the uk one, keep ourselves busy until the 8th anyways fingers crossed u get an email
July 5th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Wolfpack, I am another that has still got the opportunity to see the game. I also left my browser open. I have one more question for you. I know that you have already offered A LOT of information to people, but I am at the cop car scene and can’t seem to find that link..Could you give me some sort of indication as to where it may be? I have gone over every rock there and it doesn’t seem to appear. Could you please just tell me which side of the screen i should be looking?
July 5th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Yeah “Alice” seems a little loopy loo, LOL. I have briefly considered wolfpack18 but I cannot find any rock that turns your cursor into a hand. Hmm..
July 5th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Ok, so I have looked into both of these alleged shortcut options and neither of them checks out for me. I have put my cursor over every pixel on the cop car screen and I have waited in vain looking at smoke over the bar.
Wolfpack18- Where did these clues of yours even come from? Did you write them yourself?
My conclusion: See all of you 11 forkers at the final round.
July 5th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
wolfpack- thank u for your help i understand now that the game is over and there is no possible way to get a screen shot thank u anyways best of luck to all of u…
July 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Amanda- I’m with you. I’ve been over every rock in the cop car scene and can’t seem to find a link with JUST a pointing finger/hand. Any luck for you yet? Or anyone else finding this link?
July 5th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Jan, u said that the game is still open in the UK so i entered the web site u gave and tried to enter my birth date and it said im not eligible to enter what im wondering is that in doing that did i just ruin my chance of winning…is volvo contacted that u r not in the UK…?
July 5th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Beatrice: I have had no such luck either. I’m not doubting wolfpack, though. I have no reason to. I just can’t find it myself. If you, however, happen to run across it, could you please let me know? And likewise. I will tell you if i find something. Thanks
July 5th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
for the UK site DOB it day/month/year not in US format.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
WP18 – were you ever able to repeat the path you found? Or did you find it only once?
July 5th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
@Megan,
I was able to enter my birthday and the game just fine and I’m in the US and have already entered the game. Maybe it was just a temporary glitch?
July 5th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Dear Wolfpack and Alice,
Both of ya can eat a bag of baby dicks. Because both of ya’ll are lying because I couldn’t play the game because both of my parents work for volvo. And I was just playing the game for fun, one I just checked your so called answers and they are both don’t work. Also they let the some of the workers at volvo know the least amount of forks and 11 was it, they said that there are no links only clues and clips for enjoyment. So all these people on here that keep lying about getting less than 11 forks stop lying its sad.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
megan – i dont know but the age of entry in the uk may be different from age of entry in USA. have a look at the rules
July 5th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
LMAO Alnisa! I agree.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
megan – uk rules state you have to be at least 18 to enter. my daughter just tried putting in a random DOB less than 18 and it said she was not elligable.
add a few years to your age and try again before 1992
July 5th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
ok thank u in the US it said 13 or older so i will try again thank u for your help.
July 5th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Wolfpack 18, i don’t userstand. You posted the answer twice but both different ways. A shortcut on the police car or at the a-ka-lat sign?
July 5th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
reply to Alnisa, thank god for common sense… I have been reading the most entertaining drivel on here, to think of the hours wasted by people on false hopes of special links, folks at the end of the day its just a car, most competions arent this hard, they are usually mass marketing ploys so details can be sold onto third party carefully selected parties. I find the misleading clues which have been posted, may have left most of you, going down a merry path to dead end um and frustration, and I feel that it was intended, so you would all spend painful hours trawling through every pixel on every screen, to have you all magnifying your screens looking for things that werent there, only the clues which were intended to be there as part of clever flash and the spirit of the comp.
Good luck to you all and i hope you all get emailed on the 8th.
BTW The guy drake has taken a screen shot of submiting 10 forks, um slightly suspect… but im sure we will all find out perhaps round 1 was as we have all found it, the taste of things to come when a $46K car is involved.
tc
July 5th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Alnisa, THANK YOU. I’ve been going crazy over the game to the point where I simply just wanted to know how in the world people got less than 11 forks. I mapped it out and wrote everything I could down. You have confirmed everything I had suspected, it wouldn’t be a fair game to HIDE special links that apparently only a few could access. Thank you again, you’ve given me peace of mind
July 5th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
has anyone been able to find the secret link to WP18′s post? sorry WP18, im still trying to find it, and i havent found it yet. if you really did make it in 9 then congrats! really. i am just finding it so hard to believe you, especially when im looking at the page myself and clicking every inch of this screen and im not finding the link. could you be a little more specific on where this link is exactly? i dont have a chance of winning the car now. im playing on the UK site and i live in the US, so no car for me. but still i want to know how you did it. thanks so much, and i really appreciate you posting the answers!
July 5th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Hello WP18 and Alice! I am very impressed with your clever sleuthing :0) I am playing with UK version, and I am attempting to recreate your journey(s) to the Cullen’s House. I live in Canada (therefore I am not eligible), and I am still attempting to sovle this puzzle because your clues made me want to give it one last try. Like most people on this site, I quickly mapped out the 11 Forks route, but lacked the “zooming” capablilities to explore further clues. Can you please give us some more details?
WP18-If you capitolized TOP; does this refer to something else, or is your meaning litteral? Can you give us an idea of which quadrant the Rock is located?
Alice-I am able to make out the O and the P on the chimney (at least, I think I can). Does something highlight on the screen? Do we have to click on something? I have stared at the screen for the last hour (waiting for something…anything to happen), but it’s difficult to zoom on anything with my browser.
If you don’t want to reveal your secrets, then I can e-mail you if you like.
Anyways, thank you for the clues you have given us, and I wish you (hopefully both of you) the best of luck in round 2.
Thanks a ton! Layla
July 5th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Legally they probably couldn’t have any secret links because if you read all the “fine print” it’s preety specific on how the game is played, what happens ect.
July 5th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Hey WP18 and Alice-
Sorry, my e-mail is CharismaHM2001@gmail.com
July 5th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
LMAO, Layla they LOVE that you’ve been staring at a screen that does nothing for the past hour…
July 5th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Everyone – if you just click your heels three times and say “There’s no place like the Cullen House”…it will appear. Good Luck!

wolfpack 18- earlier i asked if i could see a screen shot of the page showing only 9 possible forks i know the game is closed in the US but it is still open in the UK u can play the game… it would just give us all a peace of mind knowing the final answer if in deed it is nine.
July 5th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
I just played it on the UK website
here is a print screen

Megan—It is very hard to find the spot at the cop car fork, it is at the top/tip of one of the rocks, somewhere near the middle, you will know when you have found it, you mouse will change to a hand for a split second and then you need to click on it fast! The main clue for the whole game basically, was the A-KA-LAT sign, at first it “seems” to mean that the beach is what it is talking about but, it was intended by Volvo I believe, to find out the meaning of A-KA-LAT (which I didn’t know at the time) and then apply that logic and answer to all the levels in hopes of finding the secret link…It even said something like What does A-KA-LAT mean on the tickertape which was a clue to find out and apply it. Before the game closed I had found the link about 3 or 4 times, after hours of searching every time, it really is that hard to find, but maybe there is more logic to it then I know, but it did take me a very long time to find it each time. I would accomodate your wishes to take a screenshot,(if I knew how??) however, I am not positive that 9 isn’t the shortest route, and I really don’t want to jeopardize my chance of being in the finals by “CHEATING” and doing the game in another country! I guess you only have a few more days to really know for SURE who is and isn’t telling the truth about it.
Alnisa—I am sorry, but you must not have been informed of the correct route to go, possibly because you weren’t allowed to play and they figured that you’d squeal to one of your BFF’s about the secret??? Or, maybe you are really the one that is lying about being involved with Volvo, why don’t you provide some proof that you are indeed connected to Volvo by your parent’s working there etc…??? If you think about it, the answer has always been right in front of you, because the tickertape tells you to basically figure out what A-KA-LAT means and that is the true secret! And also the actually FAQ’s (not the tickertape) tells you that Jacob’s house DOES exist, AND that there is an Easter Egg there??????? It’s a no brainer, but I guess if you are some of the ones that hasn’t found it yet, then it would seem very unreal, but it IS very real;)
Good Luck everyone.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Wolfpack 18 – you can still provide a screen shot of the 9 forks – you just don’t submit it. I am sure there is someone out there that can tell you how to do a screenshot. ctrl/alt/prt sc (print screen). Just not sure how to save it. I have already submitted my # of forks. Just trying to find your “route” that’s all.
July 5th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
I went to the UK site and solved it in 3
here is the print screen of it
http://i49.tinypic.com/119us69.jpg
July 5th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
okay Alice how in the world did u do that if u dont want anyone to know email me the directions at mrk91396@gmail.com thank u i am at my wits end with this game PLEASE i dont even care if i win anymore im so sick of it but it would be nice to win the car lol
July 5th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
http://tinypic.com/r/35kpt3s/6
I focused mainly on the “Has anyone been able to get into the shops?” questions.
The real shortcut is in the shops after the first fork.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
http://tinypic.com/r/35kpt3s/6
July 5th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
IM STILL SO FRUSTRATED.
I don’t see any letters Alice.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Alice-is there some super short route because the ride alone to the cullen house has to be like 6 or 7
July 5th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
wolfpack18 i think i actually see the hand u r talking about which is really hard to click on like u said i couldnt believe it maybe its just my computer but i saw the hand and i just cant time the click right lol
July 5th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
WP18- Just curious. Do you know what the treaty is?
Also, the tickertape actually ask for several meanings of things like, Do the road signs mean anything?, What do the footprints mean?, What does the bulldozer mean? What does Masen mean? What do the yellow lines mean? What does the 12 miles sign mean? You got my point. All I’m saying is if you was a real twi fan you would know immediately what the meaning of these things were. I’m not saying you didn’t find it in 9 forks, but I think you slipped with the treaty. Read the book!
July 5th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Hello all. I am a network engineer. I strongly recommend if you have any aspirations of winning the car you DO NOT try to play the game. If they want to be sticklers there are many ways to track your play. Since the game remains open till the 20th of Aug in the UK wait until after the 8th of July to try to find the shorter routes. Best of luck to all who make it to the final phase.
July 6th, 2010 at 12:10 am
ALICE- wow congratulations, that’s pretty impressive! was there a shortcut or something? i dont want to know what or where it is, i’m not able to submit a form but i know people in the U.K can so it wouldnt be wise to put the answer up. i’m just curious cause i have spent so much time trying to find something even if i can’t win it’s just nice to not be wondering anymore!! lol
July 6th, 2010 at 12:21 am
Well Alice how did you do it in 3?
July 6th, 2010 at 12:22 am
LOL I was able to copy her link change the answer to 2 and post on a new link. I not saying she didnt do it but dont be foolish people.
July 6th, 2010 at 12:33 am
how were you able to change the answer? and where did you post the new link?
July 6th, 2010 at 12:46 am
all it is is a link online so type in her page and remove the picture number its just where it was saved its a picture website that you can upload your pictures to. As far as changing the answer you cant change it and send it to volvo you can save it to your comp then change and upload it online. When you reach the end of the game there is a share link if that was used or the actual link it would have the game name in it.
July 6th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Sorry also if you get to the bar and make one more move and actually found the Cullens it would be 4 moves because it taes 3 just to get to the bar. SOrry like I said she may have done it but not the way she says. Im just having more fun disproving people then playing the game. =)
July 6th, 2010 at 12:57 am
i did the same thing dee did and tried to post the picture but the blog considers it spam.
July 6th, 2010 at 5:48 am
Well I will say this. I never thought Alice was tellling the truth and as for Wolfpak18, at first I doubted him However he is correct about the hand that appears at the cop car scene, I will vouce for that cause I did see it myself when over the weekend however I didnt click in time and the hand disapeared and I couldnt find it again. Oh well.
July 6th, 2010 at 6:10 am
OK, the first time I played and found the fork that leads to pack fire to the left and the river brook to the right, my first reaction when I saw the smoke and what seems to be a red wall on the very left of the screen, was: “OH, Jacob’s house” and I’ve never thought otherwise. The ticker tape simply says “Has anyone found Jacob’s house?” there was never indication that they meant some kind of route that lead to a full-blown house.
July 6th, 2010 at 7:55 am
I think it’s awesome that some of you could figure it out in 3 forks. Congrats on that. Maybe I’m being a “sore loser” but I just think it sucks that people like the rest of us who thought we had it figured out and did things like mapping it out, etc and found it the old fashioned way didn’t stand a chance because there were all these secret passageways. I don’t remember reading about any black holes to the Cullen house in Twilight!! LoL
July 6th, 2010 at 8:24 am
Wolfpack18, which rock? I am on the UK site and can’t submit since I live in the States. I am playing for fun and really want to see Jacob’s hosue. I have been clicking on all the rocks near the middle and can’t find it.
July 6th, 2010 at 9:13 am
I seriously don’t think there are hidden links. Wolfpack 18, I have tried your route and it doesn’t work. First of all there is no tree with a perfectly shaped heart on it. There is no “rock” with a link. We have all tried and no one else has found it. And as far as Alice is concerned, there is nowriting in any shop window that is even legible with a magnifying glass! I just don’t believe that Volvo would make the first round that difficult. None of the puzzles in the last game were that hard.
July 6th, 2010 at 9:29 am
Hey everyone, we were notified of the issue with commenting over the weekend and are working to resolve the problem. Sorry for any of you who got filtered. The issue should be resolved today and we are in the process of restoring any comments that didn’t make it through.
July 6th, 2010 at 11:16 am
@admin…Thanks…and do you have the inside info re the lowest # of forks and can we know?
July 6th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Ok. I’ll throw this out here for all to ponder…
I looked at the source code for the game site (yes you all can do it too just google how) and inspected the list of questions that scroll across the bottom. I noticed that there is an unexpected break near the end of the list but not at the end. Doing this post from my bberry so I can’t actually tell you the exact questions but it’s where the 3 weather forecasts are lumped together after something about the police car. There isn’t a space break between the cop car comment and the weather when it scrolls across the bottom. Could this be a timing trigger that allows a small window of time for some special wormhole in the maze to open up (assuming you’re on the right page)?
Don’t know if it has anything to with Drake who claims to have done it in 10 and waiting for something to happen.
Just thought I’d share with those wanting to continue to look for the rabbit hole.
July 6th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Techie, the developers closed the Paragraph tag after “Are those boats next to the cop car?”
I am guessing it is because the remaining information on the tape is game info and not clues or hints.
Anyone else got a thought? Still lookin for that rock.
July 6th, 2010 at 11:46 am
me too i waited for that break in the ticker tape and didnt find anything at the cop fork should i wait for that break at a different fork or am i correct???
July 6th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
“The “LOST IN FORKS VOLVO CONTEST” (the “Contest”) is a skill-based online competition…”
“(hereinafter, “Entrants”), will be required to use deductive reasoning to get to the Cullen’s House in the lowest number of forks, and then complete a second phase as detailed below, if applicable.”
i think i may agree with 11 forks… yes, “top of the rock” was a clue, but there were MANY clues… if i were following the clues, i wouldn’t have chose the forks wolfpack18 did. i wouldn’t think deductive reasoning would include secret passageways. thats not really reasoning. to me it seems like dumb luck. someone let me know when they get an email…
July 6th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Alice its all very well you posting a doctured picture of 3 forks,hell my first attempt was 13, maybe I should have performed the same trick the cut, copy and paste technic into some swanky photo editing software and wee hee, would have caused the same controversy. Its what everyone has been requesting, if it was me that had got 3 forks, I would shout and scream it from the roof tops and this page, I would be chest proud and rubbing noses in it believe me … so the only proof that isnt doubtable is you advising all these lovely folks the exact 3 steps you took… without any reference to specials links or looking through some specal only Alice vision windows of some shop that goes black as soon as anyone other than someone called Alice goes near.
Mission impossible was one of my favourite films!! they didnt ever make a film called wild goose chase….ummm, lol
July 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I wonder if legally there could be a secret link in the game. If you go through and read all the “fine print” it’s pretty specific on how the game is played, what you need to do to reach the house etc. the part where the game is called “skill based” really makes me think this, but who knows. I’m not saying anyone who has claimed to get there through these means is lying I’ve just been thinking over that for a few days.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
I too couldn’t play the game because of my dad working at volvo, just like Alnisas’ parents, and they were told yesterday about the game, and that 11 is the accurate number of forks.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
oh i got my email, and i did it in 11 forks, so i guess that was the right number of forks.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
I thought the same thing, T. I thought to myself “if the rules tell you how to play the game, legally they can’t divert from that”…and Bill, how did you get an email? I got 11 and didn’t get one. Plus it says they’ll email the 8th.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I thought the second fork, the shop scene might have a secrete passage as well because when i moved my mouse over the roof area my pointer changed to a white target (like the red target store symbol) it did it real quick each time, i finally caught it and tried to click but nothing happened
.
July 6th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Bill, that’s awesome! I hope we all get one that got it in 11.
Jennifer, the rules say “on or about July 8th” so that gives them a few days leeway; at least, that’s how I took it.
July 6th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
The folks at Volve are probably laughing the a$$e$ off at the lunacy of finding things that just aren’t there.
Just proves that people will see what they want to see. ;o)
July 6th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
My solution was for 11 as well. Would be cool to be included in the next playoff round, but if not it sure has been entertaining to say the least.
July 6th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Ditto, Techie! I wholeheartedly agree. It HAS been very entertaining!
July 6th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
If 11 is the right number and we submitted our answer before the deadline, is there any reason why we wouldn’t get an email?
July 6th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Is Bill the only one to get email?
July 6th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
does anyone know when emails are going to be sent?
July 6th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
The contest says about the 8th, but I doubt it’ll end up being earlier so thursday or friday is my guess
July 6th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
I have not yet gotten the email, but I suspect that have thousands to send out…..I wouldn’t sweat it until after the 8th…..
July 6th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Ok. So now I guess people will be asking for proof of the email. Lol
We are all like sharks…looking for our next feeding frenzy! Lol
Just because someone posted that they got their email already doesn’t mean that they did. Just saying.
July 6th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
And maybe they did. I need a life!
July 6th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
This “split second hand” is really frustrating. I can find them at every fork in both directions, but I haven’t got the reflexes of a fighter pilot to be able to click on them in time. As well as lousy typing skills and poor reflexes my eyesite is now failing. Please could someone check the brown thing on the fork with the gravel path and the tyre tracks ( it’s on the grass to the right of the right fork with the leaves and twigs). It looks like a bag of some sort to me. Could this be Bellas backpack? I’ve tried magnifying and altering the screen resolutions but am still not sure.Thanks in advance.
July 7th, 2010 at 3:06 am
Does anyone know anything about the fees/taxes that go into winning a car? Google has been a little less than helpful and I was just wondering if anyone could explain it better
July 7th, 2010 at 4:13 am
Besides motor vehicle and registration taxes/fees, I think you have to pay income taxes on the MSRP of the car. So, it’s not ‘free’ but a lot less than paying $43,000.
July 7th, 2010 at 4:41 am
Noticed something else in the scrolling clues at the bottom: what’s with using “tyre” and “tire”? I do realize that both are acceptable, but you’d think it would be one way or the other.
Doubt it means anything but wanted to point it out.
July 7th, 2010 at 5:46 am
It was spelled tire on the US site. It is tyre in the UK.
July 7th, 2010 at 7:40 am
I still haven’t found Jacob’s house.
I think Jan may be right about the backpack, but I could be imagining that the brown lump looks like a slouched over backpack…you see what you want to see sometimes.
I did get to the cullens in 11, and strategically mapped everything out as well. any help on jake’s house would be appreciated.
July 7th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Everyone who did a screen shot could’ve just changed the number of forks. Seriously!!! You can do so much with photos these days!! As for wolfpack18, it might have been a one time jump that no one else could use after?? Maybe? Whoever is that smart deserves a new car! I’m hope 11 is the shortest though. If anyone gets an email saying that they are a finalist, post it so I know if it is less than 11. Thanks!
July 7th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Sorry I meant “I hope”
July 7th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Thanks Jenny. I think the red house behind the big white barn thing by the police car is Jacob’s house. The boats, rocks and tree stumps are similar to the phase scene from new moon. I can’t get into it though. My cursor is now turning to a hand all the time, for seconds on end and still nothing new appears. We’ll know for sure tomorrow.
July 7th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
when you get to the Submit entry page (cullen’s house)
it basically says ‘anyone that had 11 and under will reach the final phase…. :/
July 7th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Where did you see that Joleen? I must have looked over it because I never saw that. I just saw where it said that the one who makes it in the least amount of forks will go to the final phase.
July 7th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Yeah I submitted my 11 like a million times and i never saw “anyone that has 11 and under…” hmm… well has anyone else received an e-mail? Just curious. Like someone mentioned, if I don’t make it, it’s cool since this was fun. (:
July 7th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Caroline: There is someone on another blog that said they received their email at 1:42 pm EST today. They didn’t tell how many forks it too them to get to the Cullen house but did say that due to having to accept a privacy agreement they couldn’t discuss anything about the final phase. Still not sure if they are telling the truth about the email but if they are congrats and good luck to him/her on the final phase!
July 7th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
they arent telling the truth
they can discuss the final phase because on the US lostinforks website when you click the closed sign it takes you to the rules and it also explains what the final phase will be
it said that contestants will have to find their way to back to the cullens house again and when you reach it it will show you a video clip
and after the clip you have to answer 3 questions about the clip in the shortest ammount of time
July 7th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
also
why did you assholes ask for screen shots anyway if you arent gonna believe it
July 7th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Hey Drake no need to call anyone names
July 7th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Good point drake! Anyway, the people who said they found it in 3 forks, can you post the rout since the game is now over? This game was really fun but I am really wanting to know what I missed.
Thanks!
July 7th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Because it’s so easy to lie and no one is ready to give up hope yet
July 7th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Describing the rules above for Phase 2 doesn’t mean that those individuals will not have to sign a confidentiality statement. This would be no different than the folks who won the tickets to the premier. They had to sign a confidentiality statement, couldn’t take pictures, couldn’t talk about it (except in approved venues). Why should this be any different?
Next time Volvo does a give away, get yourself some cables so you can connect your puter to your TV and hopefully you’ll be able to see a lot more than you did this round. For those who thought they would make this easy – pleeease!
July 7th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
i think if someone got an email that only did it in 11 forks it was because they were one of the first people to finish in 11 forks they are not gonna put everyone who did it in 11 in the final phase so sorry if your waiting for an email thats not coming.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:59 pm
kasside: You shouldn’t rule anyone out. Everybody has a chance. Don’t be so down on the subject.
July 8th, 2010 at 12:46 am
Rules said everyone that has the least amount of forks not the first 50 with the least amount of forks.
July 8th, 2010 at 12:53 am
I am having like major paranoia!! I felt pretty good about my answer, but now i’m fretting that i forgot to submit…I remember thinking that ‘aww it’s okay, i can just submit it later, when i am more confident about my answer…’. And now, I’m freaking out that i didn’t ever submit it, although i think that i did..I know right, what a dork!!.I just needed to some how say (or type) that, and what better place to do that than right here??
July 8th, 2010 at 1:41 am
@amanda
you do know that you can submit as many times as you want right?
if you submit 206 forks first then submit 11 it will count the 11..its just not like that in the final phase
you can only submit once
if you submit more than once your score will be void
July 8th, 2010 at 1:44 am
ALSO FOR ANYONE WHO DIDNT KNOW
the rules clearly state that EVERYONE with the shortest route will enter the final phase
there is only 1 winner
so in the event that 2 people get the EXACT same lowest time in the final round they will have to submit an essay answering the question “if you could stay the same age forever would you and why” in 150 words or less
the essays will be judged and the better one will win the volvo
ASLO IF YOU DONT HAVE A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE OR INSURANCE YOU CANNOT WIN THE CAR
IF YOU ARE A MINOR YOUR PARENTS MUST PROVIDE A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE AND PROOF OF INSURANCE ALSO OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT WIN
July 8th, 2010 at 1:49 am
@drake
Yes, i am aware of that, but it is a little too late for me. The contest is over. I’m just hanging out on this site to stay up to date with the contest. The contest has actually been closed a few days for me…I just had the thought earlier about forgetting to submit. I think I dreamed it last night and just flipped out about it.. Not too sure. oh,well. Thanks though
July 8th, 2010 at 2:55 am
Oh Look Its the day emails get sent out and your girl ALICE still hasnt told anyone how she did and how many forks it REALLY took her to get there
July 8th, 2010 at 5:48 am
Lorey, that’s because “Alice” lives in her make believe world.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Hey Alice, I would like to discuss some of my/your findings. Could you please e-mail me at fsir86@yahoo.com Thanks
July 8th, 2010 at 8:54 am
Have any Of you received your emails yet? I haven’t so either 11 wasn’t the lowest or people from the UK have been eliminated as the game is still live over here. I would love to know what the lowest number was. Many thanks
July 8th, 2010 at 9:22 am
I think people are forgetting the company who put together the game is on the West coast so the emails probably won’t be coming early for most people, besides who said they had to send them as soon as the 8th started?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:48 am
I do wonder how they are going to do this with the UK still playing until the 20th…..does anyone think maybe they altered the course? I don’t know as I have not played the UK version…..
July 8th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Ok…. someone posted something on another blog about whether or not a confirmation email was received after you submitted your final forks. Did anyone else receive that email?
July 8th, 2010 at 10:10 am
I never got a confirmation email after submitting my forks! Neither did any of my friends who did it…
July 8th, 2010 at 10:14 am
just got notification of next phase but it’s in belgian??? can’t read it
July 8th, 2010 at 10:20 am
debi – can you tell us how many forks it took you?
July 8th, 2010 at 10:33 am
10
July 8th, 2010 at 10:34 am
And how did you do 10, Debi? Please give us your route..
July 8th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Debi, how did you do it in ten forks?
July 8th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Don’t know if this is true or not but I find it interesting that people are receiving confirmation emails in French. For those who haven’t seen, google translated text as:

Don’t lose hope guys. Another debi posted the same thing on http://twilightseriestheories.com/2010/06/22/volvos-lost-in-forks-campaign/
She said she did it in >10 and <12 which translates into 11.
Remember, it said emails were going out around July 8th. Best of luck to all!
July 8th, 2010 at 10:54 am
correct I did it in >10 and <12

Sooooo, the winner only gets 6 months free at the wheel of a Volvo XC60. Damn that. i thought it was a free car period. didnt know it was only a 6 month free lease.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:00 am
The rules did say that the winner received the Vovlo….that’s why the prize is valued at over $40,000…..maybe someone hacked the email system…..
July 8th, 2010 at 11:10 am
Just my opinion, but I agree with JG. If it was a genuine email, I don’t think it would have been in French.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Frank, I was thinking the same thing. I am not saying for sure BUT I feel that the email they are receiving isn’t legit. For a few reasons.
1)The email that a few people have received are in another language. Why would they be receiving an email in another language when the contest was in the United States?
2) The email is stating that the contest will end on the 14th. If you read the rules to the contest it states that the second phase ends on the 15th @ 10 am pst.
3) The contest rules plainly state that the winner is to receive a Volvo and is responsible for taxes, etc. I did not read anything about it being a 6 month lease.
So, I honestly do not feel that the email that some people have received is genuine. I have to say though that I still haven’t received an email and may not. The day isn’t over yet
July 8th, 2010 at 11:22 am
In reading that email again… it just doesn’t sound very professional. Not something I would have expected Volvo to send out. I personally wouldn’t have clicked the link they were talking about. What’s really sad is that everyone is hoping for an email and for someone out there to play a prank on people by sending them bogus emails is just plain sick.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Damn, I cant even get a fake email. guess im not worthy
July 8th, 2010 at 11:28 am
Lol @Frank, I’m not worthy either!
July 8th, 2010 at 11:57 am
That makes 3 of us! I am thinking that they will send an email out to all that didn’t qualify too. It said to check your email to see if you qualify and I don’t think that they would leave people hanging. I really just want to see the final round. I just bought a new crossover that I adore so I don’t want the car; I just LOVE the games!
July 8th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I just want to know the number of forks it took to get to the finals…that and what team Lebron james is going to.
July 8th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Iam playing on the Uk and Canadian version..I still can’t find Jacob’s house, I did make it to the Cullen’s in 11. How do you get to Jacob’s house?
July 8th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I am going crazy!! lol I don’t care if I win but I really want to know how many forks it took to get there in the shortest route and I want to know HOW to do it! I played today on the UK version, to look for a shorter route than 11 and I just couldn’t find it!
July 8th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Hey everyone. Just a heads up we are in contact with Volvo already and are hoping to get at least some answers (e.g. have any confirmations been sent out? What was the fewest number of forks? etc.) They’ve already responded twice, we are just having some issues with the communication platform. That being said we will share what info we can once it’s available.
Thank you all for continuing to support one another and share your insight. You guys really have been awesome. Any new developments will be announced on Facebook and Twitter (links at the top of the page), so be sure to follow us for up to the minute details!
July 8th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Bahaha. What LeBron does…How does Twilight and Fairyball end up in the same sentence? Funnyyy.
July 8th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Volvo has the best games! Such fun, no matter how frustrating it can be! I loved the New Moon games and this one was fun too! Good luck everyone! And thanks to Admin for doing all this too!
July 8th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Saw on another site that someone stated the child of a volvo employee posted on THIS site that the shortest number of forks was 11…anyone remember that on here? I have two little ones and can’t reread ALL these posts! lol
July 8th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Andrea- yes there were in fact TWO people that have claimed that their parents work for volvo and were just playing the game for fun and stated that eleven was the correct number of forks no one knows for sure if this is the correct number or not…it sure would be nice knowing that eleven was right…
July 8th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Multi-million dollar contracts to play ‘fairyball’. Sign me up.
July 8th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
YeeHoo!!!!! I GOT one. My email came!!!!! Yeah, baby.
July 8th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I GOT THE E-MAIL AND DID IT IN 11 FORKS!!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I just received my letter inviting me to play in the finals. I found it in 11, so I think the people who said 3-9 of full of it!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Okay…After all the hype and frustration I went through trying to find the “shortcut”, I got my e-mail with only 11 forks…Good luck to most of you in the second phase!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I just received my email that I get to play the final phase- and I did the first game in 11 forks! Hooray!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! got the e-mail for 11 forks!! congrats to alll (:
July 8th, 2010 at 5:07 pm

July 8th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
I got MINE!!!! I did it in 11 forks!
Congratulations!
You found the shortest route to the Cullen House and are through to the final phase.
The final phase will begin on Tuesday July 13, 10:00 a.m. PT when the Lost in Forks Volvo Contest will be opened up again one last time, so you can face your final challenge.
The finalist who completes this in the shortest time (starting from when they press ), wins. And could drive away in a shiny new Volvo XC60, just like Edward’s.
You have until Thursday July 15, 10:00 a.m. PT to submit your entry.
Good luck!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
So I just checked my spam folder and I got the email. 11 forks was the shortest route!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Got my inviation to play in the final phase @7:55!!! I made to the Cullens house in 11 forks! So Good luck to everyone and check your emails! I still don’t know how to get to Jacobs!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
WOO HOO! I got an email! I actually got an email! I am beside myself and am speechless! WOO HOO!

July 8th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Sooo Much Fun!! Thanks Alnisa for the info about 11forks. it helped me to stop worrying!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
got my email at 6:55pm and made it at 11 forks….so YAY!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I received my email at 4:55 PST, and I got it 11 forks.
July 8th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I GOT MINE TOO!!! YEAH!!!! So much for all of you saying that you got there in 3~ HA!
July 8th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
yaaayy i got my email!!!!! 11 was it if u didnt already know lol…. im so excited!!!!!!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
I received my confirmation at 7:54 pm and I made it in 11 forks! Alice and WP18 should be ashamed for leading people on like that.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
WOOHOO!!! Got my email tonight at 7..can’t wait for the final phase! It would be a great birthday present to win a new car like Edward’s but I’m just playing for the fun of it. Cause I know there is like a 1/1,000 chances
DCdeb- Jacob’s House might be part of the final phase..
July 8th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
ok, no email yet…i turned in 11…just thinking they haven’t gotten to me yet….really want to play the next round! grrr, i can be so impatient!!!! relax and breathe right?
July 8th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
So I emailed Alice and basically told her she’s an ass for lying and making people think stuff to stress them out. She told ME to grow up! Seems backward….what a jerk!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
So once you hit enter that is your only shot for the prize?
July 8th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Jen, I’m feeling the exact same way!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Do you think that the video clips will play during the final phase too? I am wondering how that will be calculated into the time, if let’s say, I have three video clips during my route and You only have 2…any ideas? And I am guessing it is the same route since time counts now…
July 8th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
thanks cassie, glad to know i’m not alone!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
@ Jen, breathe and relax!!
@ E, yeah, in the final phase its one shot only. Best time, right answers.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Hey guys, just got my e-mail! I’m so excited! I had 11 forks like everyone else and the e-mail said that it was the shortest route. So good luck everyone see you at the finish line!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
That is not going to be fun if i take a very long time! hah
July 8th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
What will phase two be? I wish it wasn’t going to be timed!!! Yipes!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Got mine too and so did my friend. Way cool!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
YES, I just got my email too. Good luck to everyone and may the best win!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I got my email too! And it does say 11, but I did complete it in 9 believe what you want. Also, I DID find Jacob’s house and the extra bonus, and I guess it will now come into play on the final phase, so I at least gave everyone a heads up about it.
Heed my warning……there is a lot more a miss than you know with this game????
I am so befuddled??
Good luck on Tuesday!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Everyone who gets the least turns will advance to a second round during phase 2, where you must again find your way to “Cullen’s house” and then answer trivia questions in the shortest amount of time possible. ….what will the trivia be?
July 8th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Wolfpack18, what do you mean by extra bonus? I found what I believe to be easter eggs, but I know nothing about a bonus? Of course I do not expect you to tell me, but I would like some sort of explanation
July 8th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
holy crap!!!! it was in my spam filter….been there for 2 hours!!! i’ve been going crazy!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOO
July 8th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Seriously? Are you guys going to believe everything that WP18 says…nevermind the hallucinations of Alice? Didn’t WP18 swear that we would all rue the day that we doubted he got there in under 11? Paaaaaleeeez!
Come on folks…he like many others are just yankin’ your chain! Just because it’s posted on the internet doesn’t make it true.
If WP18 wants to claim that he’s the only one out of what is likely hundreds of thousands of players in this contest to have found something special out in the screenshots, so be it.
I for one believe it’s a load of bunk! Let him say whatever he wants, but don’t give him anymore credit than he deserves. If you honestly believe he “cracked the code”, why bother to play this next round…just hand him the prize now ’cause he clearly thinks he’s got this one in the bag.
Couldn’t be that he’s just tryin’ to psyche you out so that you won’t play? That would make it easier for him with less competition.
I say more power to him. I, personally believe that anyone that made it to the Cullen’s house in 11 forks has an equal chance in this final phase. It’s about who can solve the puzzle the quickest will be the winner.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I got my email and I got 11 forks.. I found all the comments & clues very interesting.. I am just curious on how hard phase 2 will be.. nervous because I never win anything!! Oh well.. Good luck to all!
July 8th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
got my email in english…it was 11. those who said less are total liars
July 8th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Wolfpack18, you are a liar.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Does anyone know if we only get one try at the final round? I’d imagine that’s the case, but just thought I’d ask!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Does anyone else wonder why we haven’t heard from Alice lately?
July 8th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
i got my email at 6:55 im so excited i really would love a new safe volvo, there beautiful cars. but i shouldn’t get my hopes up, but its so hard. especialy when your 16 and you want a new car, my heart is bounding now.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Yep only one try Christine, if you read the official rules it tells you everything you need to know!
I’m nervous to play! Ahh it would be so sweet to win!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
I doubt that I win, especially with all these secret shortcuts I was never able to find. Lol, but I’m just excited to have made it this far and have the opportunity to play again!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
I got an english email today too. Looks like 11 is the right number. Good luck to all who made it!!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
Wicked, I don’t think there are any secret shortcuts! If there were we 11 fork people wouldn’t have made it in!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Whew! I got my email too, spam box it was…
July 8th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
As for Alice, she sent me an email like she claimed she would, then never responded again…not so impressed with her…she’s probably on here anyway, using a different posting name now…why bother admitting you lied when you had no problem causing so many people to waste their time looking for clues that didn’t exist…
July 8th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I would expect a similar style puzzle (aka selecting left or right), but maybe with different screenshots. I would suspect that you will have to utilize similar logic by “deducing” your way to the Cullen’s again. Following the logic of others and just guessing your way through won’t likely work. I sincerely doubt that anyone is going to post their solutions up there for this next round…if they do they’re foolish. Then again, they might be trying to trick you to increase their chances of winning.
Next round players beware.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Have you ever thought of it this way? Maybe the original shortest route was 9 forks? And since not many people got lower than 11 Volvo decided to just make the shortest route 11, and to cover their tracks in a way? And maybe they read all the comments from people stating that it wouldn’t be fair if there were in fact secret links etc.. in the game, (Which there really are) So, instead they made the number BE 11, and they KNOW that those that did find a shorter route, will know from the first phrase what to expect in the second phase when they mix up the route and make you find the house again. this time it will be more apparent when you finally DO see the other fork, Jacob’s house, The Treaty, etc… and the bonus I was talking about is the easter egg that is at Jacob’s house, of him and bella.
As I said, a lot is a miss with this game and I guess you’ll just have to wait and see, then you can call me a LIAR all you want. But I never said or even thought that I have it in the bag, as I said, I don’t know much at all about Twilight and I’ll guessing that you’ll have to be a die-hard fan to win this contest?
Like I said, Good Luck and See you all on Tuesday—-Another thing, why would I waste my time trying to help others find the extra stuff if it didn’t exist? Ponder that for the next couple days.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
What was the point in lying anyhow? We were going to find out eventually, oh well. Do you think we will have all new roads to navigate in the second phase, or will they just start us out in different locations?
July 8th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I hope its just the same route! Lol, wouldn’t that be nice and easy!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Unless they switch it up.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Wolfpack, I don’t think they would have included EVERYONE who made it in 11 forks for the second phase if they could have ended now with only one true winner.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
So excited to see the final round! Imagine that. Getting the email after submitting 11. Huh. Anyway, I can’t wait to play. And Frank, LeBron is going to Miami.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
@wicked, totally agree with what you said. They said countless times if there were only one winner then there wouldn’t be a second round, and look a second round!
Here’s a thought—maybe everyone who lied and tried to confuse everyone should be disqualified! 
I’m glad I didn’t give in to that hype and drive myself crazy trying to get less than 11!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
wicked – I agree that they wouldn’t have included 11. The game rules state the shortest route. Taking anything above and beyond opens them up to a lawsuit. In any case, I also believe that the path will be different and all the things that were mysteries in the first round (Jacob’s house, Bella’s backpack, etc.) will be known in the final round.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
@Wolfpack, I sincerely believe that if you had made it in 9 I would not be in the next phase. It clearly states in the official rules that even in the first round, the person with the least number of forks would be considered the grand prize winner…and that wouldn’t be you either, since others proclaimed victory in 3 and 4 forks. I believe that its going to be the same map and same routes only now timed. Its going to come down to a subjective essay to determine the winner….Hope you all brush up on your there, they’re and theirs!
July 8th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
lol @Andrea’s last sentence!
July 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Andrea, I’m not so sure they will make it so easy considering we all know that route by heart now. I think that screenshot that was in question on the trailer may come into play in the second round.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I really wish Alice would show up and explain herself!
July 8th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Wolfpack: I don’t believe you did it in 9. I AM a twilight fan, and I know alot about those clues. I know where the treaty is, and its not where you say it is. Just give up. Yes, you had a lot of us fooled, now move on! Kudos to you for making me play the game for 8 million hours more than I should have! I hope they use the same screen shots because I know all of them like the back of my hand! thanks. really.
Andrea: I agree, start writing your essays now people!
July 8th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
@Wicked what screenshot on the trailer are you talking about? Trailer in the movie itself or on the game? Or are we talking about the 3 forks? lol Or is this too much of a give away? lol
@AES are you saying that you have seen Jacob’s house? And can you tell me what Treaty is? Meaning, is it a video or a still frame, in case you don’t want to give that away either…
July 8th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Who knows what the final odds are at winning. I’m just looking forward to playing. Even if my time completely sucks, I would at least like to be able to say that I was able to solve it correctly.
I’m really looking forward to it.
Best of luck to all!
July 8th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
@Andrea- I think it was the trailer on the game, the one Wolfpack submitted saying that he/she had found it and that it lead to Jacob’s house.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
“If you were given an opportunity to stay at your age forever, would you choose to do so, and why?” In my opinion the essay question is contructed badly. The way it is written presupposes the answer would always be yes. It should be “If…. and why OR WHY NOT” Thoughts anyone??? Techie what do you think?
July 8th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
WP18 -I’m stunned that you are seriously hypothesizing why VOLVO would let people with 11 forks go to the final phase.
You are losing your audience.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I had 11 forks as my shortest route and got an email. In the directions, it says that you can only attempt the final phase one time; does that mean that every move we make counts and we can’t start over??
July 8th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Heather, I think that’s what it means! Pretty scary if you ask me! I hope it is the same route! :/
July 8th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Heather, no you cannot start over or “Try Again” as was allowed in Phase I. My interpretation.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
@Heather- i think it means once you press start your timer starts and doesnt stop untill you submit. you may be able to start from the begining again and go for a shorter # of forks but the time will continue from when you first started. i could be wrong but thats how i understood it.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Alice…come out-come out where ever you are!
Don’t you wanna play anymore?
Or are you still stewing because your imaginary clues didn’t get you into the final round?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
@wicked- what did alice say? i dont really feel like searching for her comment..:)
July 8th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I hope it is the same route too. If not, I’m totally screwed!
@Volleyball: I sure do hope we can try for a shorter number of forks.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
@Volleyball… but it wouldn’t reset the forks counter would it?? Does that matter? I think the objective it to get to the Cullens in the shortest amount of time. Am I understanding this correctly?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Ohhh, wait. So the number of forks doesn’t matter?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
@Volleyball, Alice has been claiming that she had made it in 3 forks and misleading everyone for days with non-existent clues. Now, she doesn’t want to explain herself. I’m sure noone has enjoyed being toyed with.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
@heather-lol i doubt it will be the same route! i wish!!
@just me- umm im not quite sure.. lol i think it is both # of forks and time. so if 2 people get the lowest # of forks whoever has the shortest time will win.. also with the # of people trying this it is possible 2 people could get the same time down to the second so whoever has the lower # of forks wins. idk if you will be able to start over or not or if the # of forks matters but i am pretty certain once you press start your timer starts and doesnt stop untill you submit.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
@wicked oh lol. i wonder it wolfpack and alice are the same person…trying to mix us all up.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
I just re-read my email and it just said whoever completes it in the shorest amount of time wins so maybe the # of forks doesnt matter-thats good!
July 8th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I got my email too and i did it in 3 forks and Lebron james went back to cleveland……………What, thats not the truth LOL.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
@Volleyball, even if # of forks didn’t matter, if someone got it in less forks they likely will have a shorter time anyways.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Now I’m all confused about the essay question? It does sound like they expect people to answer yes and then explain why. What if I just said “No” as my essay, they did’nt ask why not? I know that’s not the “spirit” of the questions. I suppose I’d lose.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Hopefully the # of forks don’t matter, especially if it is a new route. But I wonder why they are giving 2 days to play if you only have 1 chance at it?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
@wicked, Maybe volumn of players. The actual time of day people can play with jobs and all???
July 8th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I don’t think the essay will even come into play unless there is a tie in the final round.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
@justme- i was just reading about the essay question too and thats exactly what i was thinking. if i was truthfully answering the question i would say no… but in the event of a tie and i acctually had to answer i would say yes and BS my answer to fit what im assuming the panel of judges would want to hear.also it say it will be judged under a certain criteria that would give and english scholar an extreme advantage over a say.. 13 year old?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
I wonder if when you reach the end and do not submit if you can try again?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Ok, do me a favor…. hold off on your “you are a liar” banter until after you have finished phase 2 and you will FINALLY see the extra bonus information that I have already seen. (i.e) Jacob’s house, Ice-Cold Drinks, The Deer with the dots that make an arrow, the Welcome to La Push sign at the extra fork, and some of the other stuff that I and prob many others has seen.
Also, think about it people, why do you think Volvo would estimate that there was even a slim chance that only one or maybe two people would find 11 forks? There was NO SKILL in what you others did, all you had to do was stay up all night and click on every route and write it down, where is the math or science in that???? HAHAHA you are all just fooling yourselves if you REALLY believe that something that simple was the REAL answer. These are the same people that made the Pirates Of the Carribean games, and you should KNOW that those were very hard, and only very few, like 3 from each country ever made it into the final phases of the game….You’re just in denial. But, it seems that Volvo covered their tracks really well, and they figured that the final phase would play out better if they had thousands of twilight fan crazed HOPEFULLS click their way through Volvo’s game thinking they are gonna WIN lol Volvo, already knows exactly what the pre-determined time will be for the final phase, and who knows, they could already know who their winner is?
Good luck, to all the Twilight Tweens and alike——-I’ll meet you at Jacob’s house on Tuesday lol errr is it Edwards?
Oh WHAT TEAM ARE YOU?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
@wicked, you’re probably right, but I don’t like essays. Question still bothers me though.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
So I’ve been reading the comments and decided to see if I could shed some light on the final phase. The Volvo website says
“The Finalist who participates in the Final Phase and reaches the Cullen’s House again, views the presented scene and, after the “eclipse”, answers all three (3) questions about the scene correctly in the shortest amount of time will be deemed the Grand Prize winner”
So we will have to reach the Cullen House again, maybe the same route, maybe from a different start point, who knows. But then we have to answer questions and the person who does this correctly in the shortest amount of time wins. If there is a tie, then people have to answer the essay question. I hope this helps the confusion.
Oh and I dont believe any crap that the Cullen house could be found in less that 11 forks. Just saying.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
@Vollyball, that might be the way to go on the essay, I hope it doesn’t come to that. But they (rules makers) should really rethink the way the essay question is phrased.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
@wolfpack-Volvos rules were very clear. only the people who had the lowest # of forks would be entered into the next round. they’re not just gonna swich it up because they think it would be more interesting. im pretty sure that would piss off the people who cctuallt made it in less than 11 forks, as a matter of a fact you seem awful cool with the fact that volvo just happened to let in tousands of other people to compete against you who apparently dont deserve to because they only made it in 11 forks. i know i would be pretty pissed if i used all my mathematical and science skills to get a lower number and it didnt even matter..
July 8th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
OOOOhhh…let me guess. You wolfpack..you are the predetermined winner!! Am I right? What did I win?
Also no need to ask which team you are, Wolfpack says it all!!
July 8th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
@just me, yeah i agree the essay question just doesnt seem right.
@wolfpack- 1000000000% TEAM EDWARD FOR LIFE!
July 8th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
OMG!!!!!I just got my e-mail!!!! But how if my shortest route was 11?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
what are the questions gunna be about…the presented scene, i know…but does anybody have anymore info?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
i don’t believe wolfpack but have any of you thought the second phase may not be a maze thingy like the first??????/ it could be aa different type
July 8th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
owe by the way tem edward
July 8th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
@Matt, I am guessing it will be a clip from Eclipse.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
@matt, would they be like the ticker tape questions? Have to answer those type questions? I doubt that they will be multiple choice. Maybe? I really don’t know.
July 8th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I think Wolfpack sounds kinda bitter, it must suck to be made a fool!
July 8th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
oh geez. idk. i didnt pay attention to the ticker tape. and how many times have you guys seen eclipse? you prolly have me beat.
July 8th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
You know it could be multiple choice. How else are they going to know if the answer is CORRECT or not. Fill in the blank is too difficult maybe and would take too much time for the computer to determine if the answer was right or wrong? What do you think?
July 8th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
@Wicked—Not bitter at all, in fact, I am pretty excited! Because I just figured out that may it be a glitch or not, (computers do have those you know), I think that the scene I have already seen two or three times now, will be THE Scene for the final phase, and since not many others has seen that little bit of extra footage, I am feeling pretty confident NOW. I am actually now on the UK site that someone posted earlier trying to find that damn hand again, so that I can record that Special Little Easter Egg and memorize it by heart! So, as I said before GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!
Man I love “Glitches”:)
July 8th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
@Wolfpack, how is it that you would be the ONLY one to have such a glitch? Wouldn’t that give you an unfair advantage that may get you disqualified?
July 8th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
i am so excited to see that 11 WAS the lowest number and that we are all moving forward….good luck everyone!! this has been so fun!
July 8th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
oh my god! i got 11 and was invited to do the final. i thought that it was a lower number than that. there will be a ton of people in the final! the whole talk of a shortcut was driving me nuts. i thought none of us would make it except the few that found “shorter” routes. good luck to everyone.
July 8th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
WP18 a few last points from my perspective and then seriously dude, you just need to let it go.
1) If you had found the “wormhole” on what must’ve been an attempt for something that couldn’t have been your 1st try, why on earth didn’t you submit your entry? I know I sure would’ve.
2) If you had found some secret passage(s) why would you have shared it with all the rest of the world? That’s just dumb. As others have pointed out with the re-review of the rules, you surely would’ve assured yourself a very, very good chance to walk away as the sole winner.
3) Don’t take the critique so personally, it’s not like any of us are your friends or will ever see you or know who you really are.
Honestly, though, what did you expect? You had been bustin’ everybody’s chops on here for days about how you had surely found the shortest route, and now that the rest of America that guessed 11 forks is getting emails to participate in the final round with 11 forks that leaves us with only two options for our opinions about your previous postings: 1)That you just weren’t savvy enough to hit the submit button when you did make it to the Cullen’s house in less than 11, and 2)…well you know what the other choice is for what everyone else thinks.
‘Nough said.
Ok, so now on to your point about no skill being involved in getting the answer in the the first round. For some, it may have been as simple as clicking through the posted solutions (clearly not yours…lol). For others, though, it did require some deductive reasoning.
The last time I checked, having the ability to deduce not just a possible solution, but the shortest possible solution is a “skill”. No, it’s certainly not rocket science, but to solve the 1st phase puzzle required eliminating some of the forks as possibilities in the final solution. Those that did the work know exactly what I’m talking about.
July 8th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Any tampering with the website including “glitches” is not allowed and will cause in disqualification.. Read the rules!! So sorry Wolfpack, but pretty sure whether you’re lying or not you’re not winning the car!
July 8th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
WP18…sorry, just read a new comment of yours…
So, you’ve seen…wait…how did you put it…”the scene I have already seen two or three times now”. Doesn’t that mean, then that there’s really no reason we should be having a debate about what you claim to have done? You had “two or three times now” to submit your entry for less than 11 and thus would’ve have left the rest of us in your dust.
Yes, programs can have glitches, but it’s odd that you’re the only one that has seen these glitches. Maybe there was some millisecond out there when you were playing the game just when someone on Volvo’s end was updating something with the game and you just happened to have stumbled on “the glitch”. But repeatedly? With you being the only one? Not likely.
And, you can bet your sweet “you-know-what” that I’ll be kicking off an email to Volvo first thing tomorrow morning to tell them that a game participant has told thousands of people that he may have errantly gotten through something that none of us were supposed to see until the next round.
That should re-level the playing field a bit, don’t ya’ think? I’ll be sure to repost all of your posts in a nice, neat, tidy little email to them so that if they did perhaps unknowingly give you, and only you, an unfair advantage over the rest of us they’ll have time to fix it between now and next week.
July 8th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Go Techie:)
July 8th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I wasn’t the only one that found Jacob’s house and the easter egg there, I was just the only one generous enough to share it with everyone, because let me just tell you, it has NEVER been about the car for me! I wouldn’t want to have to pay taxes on such an ugly car, it was about the puzzle, and the SKILL that I used to find the extra stuff that everyone else who just COPIED off of what everyone said here and other places didn’t find it, because I didn’t have to use any skill at all, and most of you even admitted to submitting 83 206, 16, and several other number of forks that it couldn’t have possibly have been, hell, my first route was exactly the UN SKILLED 11, so I KNEW it must be something else, so that is why I actually used REAL DEDUCTIVE REASONING, and found the extra stuff that was intended to find I mean come on people, it said it right in the FAQ’s of the game, that wasn’t meant to be misleading only the some things on the ticker tape, and the actually clues at each fork??? I mean DUHHHHHHH! And I’ll tell you this much too, If I hadn’t found the extra easter egg and stuff that was intended to find, and I still got it with 11 forks, I would be very disappointed with myself because I know there wasn’t any SKILL to it, and that anyone the age of 6+ could click their way to phase 2, come on…………you can’t be that dense?
If Volvo really intended it that way, then what I found is a Glitch, abeit a glitch that I think is the final scene and thus an advantage to me, yay me:), but if they did really want it to be 11, then I have to say, they have really gotten a lot more dumb with their puzzle creating skills since, Pirate Of The Carribean lol what a JOKE!!
But I know now that what I found was most likely a glitch and that it WILL be the final scene of which I will have a lot of previous knowledge about…And if it is as I say, is everyone on here gonna cry fowl to Volvo, because I found something that they didn’t let you know was there? I’m guessing yes, so I will just keep trying to find that hand (I told ya it was hard) so that I can view that scene again over and over lol
Good Luck PEOPLE!
July 8th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
I wouldn’t worry too much about any essay questions.
The email we all got this evening said that the database clock would be recording the official game time which would mean right down to the thousandth of a second. I find it very unlikely that more than one person would be able to find the house, watch the scene displayed at the end, and answer 3 questions in the exact same amount of time.
It’s possible, but not likely. The essay would be the tie-breaker.
As far as the two day window question, yes, you get one try it seems, but you have the flexibility to decide when you’d like to start.
I imagine that a lot of you will hit the final phase site as soon as it opens.
Well, I’ll be at work then. Even though I don’t suspect that I’d be quick enough to be the ultimate winner, I’d like to wait until I’m home to do it to give myself the opportunity to focus and give it my best shot.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
@Techie, thanks for the computer knowledge. But do you think the questions after the scene will be multiple choice?
July 8th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Oh, and Techie, it is just like all the other forks, you get somewhere, it takes you the wrong way, starts you near the beginning, so you have to make it up to that point again… and Who would know if that was the shortest route or not? I didn’t even find this site until 6 days after it had started and 3 days after I first found the extra stuff, just like you didn’t submit 11 until you followed everyone else “off that bridge” hahaha And to whomever said that I was “tampering with a glitch” that is simply not true, I had (and still have) no idea that it may or may not be a glitch, that is my only explination.
Now, go on and talk amoungst yourselves awhile:)
July 8th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Hi everyone, just a heads up that since the first round has concluded in the US we will not be providing the answer via email anymore since we can’t confirm if it is the same in different countries. We appreciate all of you who have contacted us, but will not be sending the email out to anyone who emailed in after the first round deadline. If you have any other questions please feel free to post comments on here or email us.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
guys it may not all be lies what WP18 is saying. my mom also works at volvo and I just played for fun and never submitted but when I told her about the scene of jacob and bella that WP18 claims to have seen, she said with a gasp there is supposed to be a scene with bella and jacob at jacobs house but that only happens in the second part of the game then she said let me see what all that person has posted so i showed her and she gasped even harder and said this person must either be a very high up volvo employee a hacker or they must have found a wormhole that is in the game but from what all she has heard and mostly at the water-cooler it seems like one of those options applies to WP18, she will be letting her boss know about it first thing in the morning.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
Lol, all these lies are getting soo ridiculous and out of control! Don’t trust everything you read online!
Especially when its on replies to a post that anyone could write by simply putting in different names!
July 8th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
I FOUND IT TOO!!! I wasnt able to get it in 9 forks like wolfpack said but i did find jacobs house and view the scene of him and bella. I dont want to give too much away about it just in case wolfpack is right that this is the final scene. But I will tell you that the scene involves Bella and Jacob at a school–got it;) it was at the tip of the rocks on the cop car by the way and the rock is placed it not just the way the landscape is supposed to be. oh yeah im on the uk site so i cant submit a score
July 8th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
yeah i still say 11 was the shortest route
July 8th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Hi Everyone. The New Moon “What Drives Edward” contest had 2 winners (not one as the original rules stated. That too was timed. Could that have been because there were 2 players with the exact same time? It would explain why they are using an essay as a tie break. (It would save them a car). I’m glad that they are giving you more time to enter. In the UK the sytem crashed and took 20 minutes to come on line. Best of Luck to all. pps Team Stephanie – I love the books!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
i just got the email. 11 is the score i submitted. so all the bs that WP18, alice and a few others were saying is lies. They managed to get under everybodys skin. heres my screen shot to prove i got the email.
I did block out my last name and the coma if you were wondering why it seems like somthings missing.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
I just got a call from the portage county sheriff’s office, in Wisconsin, city of Stevens Point. A 13 year old distraught young boy is lost, hasn’t been seen for the last 2 hours in Park Ridge area. Hispanic, no shirt, black pant with a white strip down the side of the pants. Autistic. I called back the sherrifs office to make sure it was a valid call and she confirmed. I put my outside lights on and will keep them on all night. I went outside w/flashlight and checked around the yards as far as I could see w/ the flashlight. I asked if I should help search in my car, but she said they have dogs, and patrol cars out looking for him. I hope they find him in good health.

sorry my code didn’t work above.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:41 am
ok EVERYONE STOP LYING AND FREAKING OUT
wp18
you dont need to lie anymore
we will all officially assume you were lying since no “proof” was ever provided (despite what these kids who claim their parents work for volvo say)
you didnt get it in 9
if you did
you would have won the car automatically the rules clearly state that
and since the only screenshot you took was from a youtube video (that doesnt even make sense?! you said you didnt know how to do a screenshot so you just took the image from the video! you have to do a screenshot to get the image from the video too you idiot how stupid do you think we are?!)
plus you never provided us with a picture of jacobs house.
im assuming that jacobs house will be in the final round because you still have to navigate your way to the cullens (it doesnt matter if it takes you 6 hours or 6 seconds to get to the cullens house all that counts is how fast you correctly answer the questions) so why else would they make it a maze again unless it was just made for exploring and the opportunity to get more extras and wallpapers? as for the essay thing i highly doubt it will come to that. the times will be recorded down to the millisecond and i doubt that 2 people will get the EXACT same time
they just need a backup incase some craziness like that does happen.
also you can only submit once so make it count
there is no way around this
these are all clearly in the rules so dont call me a liar but honestly if its bothering you dont come on this website until you have submitted your score
people wont try to help you they will only try to trick you and confuse you for the second round
you have to do it on your own its a $40,000 car at stake and everyone wants it
if you really are getting nervous just leave the site and come back after you have played
because it wont be worth it to mess up just because you are nervous about losing
i dont care if posting this decreases my chances of winning because i believe everyone deserves a fair chance at this car and lying about secret passageways and such is just childish
$20 says once the contest is over wp18 comes on here and says “I JUST GOT AN EMAIL SAYING I WON THE VOLVO!!!” wp18 you honestly dont even deserve to be on this website
and you done really seem to have much respect for twilight fans
i honestly wish you would leave whereisedwardcullen.com because you are just a pest and everyone wants you gone
the only people who want you to stay (if any) are those who sincerely believe there was a shorter route
so do us all a favor and troll somewhere else
omg this has been a long rant
for those of you who read the whole thing thanks xD
good luck in round 2 everyone
(btw i do think seeing eclipse may help you win the second round, i havent seen it yet so i hope i still have a good chance)
July 9th, 2010 at 3:52 am
I GOT IT IN 7 FORKS BUT HAD TO DO IT SEVERAL TIMES; GOT MY EMAIL TO BE IN THE FINAL CONTEST; I THINK VOLVO PROBABLY INVITED THE TOP TEN OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DON’T THIBNK I;M THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT IT IN 7 FORKS.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:15 am
Why do people insist on coming on this site and lie about how many forks they made it in. It is clear that you are lying. Anyways goodluck to all
July 9th, 2010 at 5:05 am
I have no idea about how the questions will be formatted. This is the first Volvo game for me.
Apparently, there were previous Twilight Volvo games. Anyone else have experience from them that could suggest what the 3 questions might be like?
PS still stuck on the Jacob and Bella screen that WP says he saw. He’s not talking about the wallpaper of them is he?
July 9th, 2010 at 5:06 am
http://www.volvocars.com/lostinforks go to this link and click that you live in austria if you still want to play and prove these liars wrong
July 9th, 2010 at 5:15 am
i went to the scene with the police car and checked all the rocks.. someone said there was a rock out of place and that is the jacobs house easter egg…. such BS!!! i dont even know why i wasted my time
July 9th, 2010 at 5:29 am
I got the email too, and I submitted 11 forks. So for everyone who is still freaking out, no need to fret, because 11 was apparently it!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Follow-up….. THEY FOUND HIM and HE’S ok. I just got another call from the portage county sheriff’s office, in Wisconsin, city of Stevens Point. A 13 year old distraught young boy was lost, in Park Ridge area. Hispanic, no shirt, black pant with a white strip down the side of the pants. Autistic. They found him and he’s OK. THAT IS SUCH GREAT NEWS. GREAT NEWS.
July 9th, 2010 at 6:02 am
For all the people saying they did it in less then 11 folks is feeding everyone a bunch of carp. I did it in 11 that is the shortest route. And heres my congrates letter to prove it.
Congratulations!
You found the shortest route to the Cullen House and are through to the final phase.
The final phase will begin on Tuesday July 13, 10:00 a.m. PT when the Lost in Forks Volvo Contest will be opened up again one last time, so you can face your final challenge.
The finalist who completes this in the shortest time (starting from when they press ), wins. And could drive away in a shiny new Volvo XC60, just like Edward’s
July 9th, 2010 at 6:50 am
Anyone who played the “New Moon” contest, were the 3 questions multiple choice, or fill in the blank?
What format did the questions take?
July 9th, 2010 at 6:53 am
I’ve been reading all the commments posted. Especially the ones about WP18 and Alice. Honestly, I figured the same as everybody else that has POSTED disbelief, mainly because the rules state that the one person with the lowest number of forks wins the car, hands down.
So, logically, it had to be either Alice or WP18, right? Well, consider this.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that WP18 IS telling the truth.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Alice IS telling the truth.
Why, then, hasn’t either one of them won the car?
That question has been bugging me since I got my email from Volvo.
Since Volvo can’t re-do the contest rules in mid stream, and IF they’re both telling the truth, then the only answer is:
They must not have been the only ones to arrive at the number of forks they say they got.
Remember, Volvo said that if ONE person arrives with the least amount of forks, then they will win the car.
But just because we’re reading the posts of two people, that doesn’t mean that ONLY TWO people found the way in the amount of forks they (Alice and WP18) claim. As someone else has posted previously, thousands of people are playing for the car. True. But, are thousands of people posting here, saying what there score was? No. So, I think that they both may very well be telling the truth.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:02 am
Ok, I am STILL stuck on the Jacob’s house thing…SaraEvansfan4life and WP. There is only one scene, I believe, that even has a police car in it and there is NO egg there…unless I missed another scene, but I don’t think that I did. My neighbor mapped it last night and she didn’t find one either…what’s the deal?
July 9th, 2010 at 7:07 am
Kim, the contest rules clearly state though, that they lowest forks wins. Why then would Volvo make the people with lower forks compete with people with higher forks? If so wouldn’t they be open then for a lawsuit? Clearly, with even just WP, Alice and a few others on here they would still have to have a second phase. It doesn’t make sense that they would include people in the second phase who clearly couldn’t navigate the course in the first phase.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:28 am
I second techie’s question. Has anyone here played the previous Twilight Volvo games? If so, were they multiple choice, fill in the blank, written response, etc.? I know the matter still remains unknown but on the whole number of forks vs. total time… are they both being taken into account? Maybe someone has a better understanding of this issue? Please and THANKS in advanced!
@techie- you verbally raped wolfpack18! way to go! (: LOL
July 9th, 2010 at 7:32 am
Just an observation, I noticed when I post things up here it’s 3 hours in delay to the time in my location. So I’m guessing this website is on the Wesr Coast? If that is correct, I deam it safe to assume that in Florida the competition will begin and conclude at 1:00 P.M…? lol
July 9th, 2010 at 7:34 am
@kim
you dont make any sense..
if anyone got lower than 11 even if it was 1 person they wouldnt have emailed us…
and if more than one person got lower than 11 they wouldnt have emailed us either..
idk what the hell you are talking about its impossible for them to have been telling the truth because we got emails with 11…
July 9th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Contest and sweepstakes sponsors always reserve the right to cancel, suspend, or end it when ever they choose. They have the power, if they choose to use it, to literally change the rules in the middle of the game. If you take the time to read thru all the leagalese. My opinion.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:39 am
@rules dont be dumb -_-
July 9th, 2010 at 7:41 am
@WP I didn’t read ALL of your posts, but I do keep going back to one where it says that A-KA-LAT is the key and that it means the beach or the beach scene. Did you search it? It really means “James Island”……History…
A-Ka-Lat or James Island
Thousands of winters before the arrival of the White Drifting-House people (ho-kwats), the Quileute Indians and the ghosts of their ancestors lived and hunted here. For as long as the ageless memory of legend recalls, the Quileutes flourished in the territory which originally stretched from their isle-strewn Pacific beaches along the rain forest rivers to the glaciers of Mt. Olympus. Today, Quileutes need only lift their eyes to see the burial place of chiefs atop James Island, or A-Ka-Lat — translated as “Top of the Rock”. This sense of cultural continuity is their birthright and heritage. Though much has changed, Quileute elders remember “back in the days” when the “old people” dared challenge kwalla, the mighty whale, and who recounted the exploits of wily raven or bayak, who placed the sun in the sky.
According to their ancient creation story, the Quileutes were changed from wolves by a wandering Transformer. By legend, their only kindred, the Chimakum Tribe, were washed away by flood and deposited near present-day Port Townsend (where they lived until Chief Seattle’s Suquamish Tribe wiped them out in the 1860s), leaving the Quileutes with no known relatives on earth. Quileutes were thus were surrounded by unrelated tribes, the Makah — Nuh-Chul-Nuth who migrated down from the west coast of Vancouver Island; S’Klallam to the northeast along the Strait of Juan de Fuca; and Quinault, south at Taholah, both descended from the Salishan. Relations with these groups allowed trade, intermarriage of nobility, and the ostentatious ceremony — the potlatch — an honoring giveaway celebration and redistribution of wealth. Occasionally, however, controversy over trespassing caused outbursts of warfare or slave raiding.
Traditional Quileute life was representative of the complex cultural pattern that was common to indigenous people of the Northwest Coast region. Oriented to the ocean, they fished and hunted sea mammals, and were reputedly recognized as the best sealers on the coast. Their red cedar canoes were engineering masterworks ranging in size from two-person sport models to 58-foot ocean going freight canoes capable of hauling three tons. The graceful bow and flowing shear-lines of the hull were reportedly copied in the hull design of the American clipper ship — which became the fastest in the world for its time. In the early 1900s, a canoe similar to those used by the Quileutes was outfitted with a mast and sailed around the world. Quileute whaling canoes traveled as far north as Southeast Alaska and as far south as California.
Although no early totems survive, elegantly carved house posts decorated their immense cedar “big houses” ( a 600-foot potlatch house has been documented on the Olympic Peninsula). The Quileutes bred special woolly-haired dogs and spun their hair into yarn for highly prized blankets. Rain proof skirts and capes, woven from the soft inner bark of the cedar, and conical rainhats provided protection from the 115 inches of rainfall that annually drenches Quileute country. The Quileutes also wove numerous types of baskets, some so fine and watertight that they served as kettles for boiling water or stew. Clothing, weaponry, paints and dyes, and tools and utensils were all made from natural materials found near at hand, or traded from neighboring tribes. Surface copper made it way south from British Columbia over these trade routes and iron was not unknown, possibly carried by the Japanese Current from Asia to Quileute beaches in derelict junks or other ships.
Quileute society generated from “house groups”, made up of all those who occupied during winter months one of the big houses at the mouths of the Quillayute or Hoh rivers, or Goodman Creek. Each house had a chief, those in line of chiefdom (nobility) and commoners. Thus kinship and blood relationships determined much of the early structure of tribal government. The house group may also have included a number of slaves, either captured or traded from neighboring tribes. During the summer months, these large units would fragment into families, some of whom moved upriver to hunting camps.
From cradle-board to burial canoe, Quileutes relied upon the help and inspiration of supernatural powers. Youths sought their own taxilit (personal guardian power) on solitary spirit quests. Rituals such as the first salmon ceremony guaranteed the good will of the salmon spirits –each family taking the first salmon caught in the spring divided up the flesh and returned the head and bones to the river — assuring that the great fish would continue to fill the rivers each year and allow themselves to be caught. A terrifying array of monsters, such as Duskiya, the kelp-haired child snatcher, were also abroad in the area.
Quileute life also included time for relaxation and play. Winter evenings were spent in dramatic recounting of mythic ancestor stories of the days when the animals were still people. Gambling tournaments like stick games (slahal) and contests of strength (lifting greased beach boulders) and skill were common. Potlatches honoring extraordinary whale hunting, naming or special achievements involved the pageantry of masked dances, drumming and songs that were private property and are still passed down by Quileutes as a family inheritance. These great feasts validated family status, continued all hours for days, and “back in the days” sometimes for weeks long.
The defining element of this culture, the Quileute language, is still spoken by elders at LaPush. The basics are also taught at the Quileute Tribal School. It is a complex tongue typified by clicked sounds, epiglottal stops and tongue twisting strings of consonants with words that would run off the page, for example: “kitlayakwokwilkwolasstaxasalas” which means “those are the people who think that I am the one who is going to Forks”. Quileute is not, as some outsiders believe, composed of Chinook jargon or devoid of all abstract ideas. It has the distinction of being one of only five languages in the world that have no nasal sounds (no m or n). Quileute is also one of the few languages not known to be related to any other tongue. Quileute elders have supervised the compilation of a dictionary and instructional texts that are taught in the school.
Although European traders had previously made contact with Quileutes as early as the 1700s, the first official contacts were made in 1855 when the Quileutes signed a treaty (Treaty of Quinault River) with staff members of Washington Territory governor, Isaac Stevens. A year later, a Quileute delegation traveled to Olympia to sign a treaty (Treaty of Olympia) with the United States. According to that treaty, the Quileutes were to give up their lands and move to a reservation at Taholah. However, so remote was Quileute territory that there was little pressure to settle their lands. Finally on February 22, 1889, the same year Washington joined the Union as a state (November 11, 1889), an Executive Order by President Benjamin Harrison set up a one-square mile reservation at LaPush with 252 inhabitants. Four years later, the 71 members of the Hoh River band of Quileutes were provided with a separate reservation. In the treaties the Quileutes reserved their hunting, fishing and gathering rights in their “usual and accustomed places” and were promised health, education and job training in exchange for over 800,000 acres of ancient virgin timber teeming with fish and wildlife in both the Quillayute River basin and in offshore waters.
La Push received its name from traders using Chinook jargon for river mouth (a corruption of the French “la bouche”). In 1882, European culture was brought to the village in the form of schoolteacher A.W. Smith and his school. He set about renaming Quileutes from the Bible (Esau, Sarah, Christian), and American history (William Penn, Henry Hudson, Andrew Jackson, etc.) as well as anglicizing Quileute names (Buckety Mason, California Hobucket). In 1889, all 26 houses at LaPush were burned to the ground by a settler who had wrongly claimed the land. The fire devastated the last carved masks, baskets, hunting equipment and sacred regalia from pre-contact days, except for what may have been relocated to museums or private collections.
The Constitution and By-Laws of the Quileute Tribe (1936) and their Corporate Charter issued by the Secretary of the Interior in 1937, recognized and established the sovereignty of the Quileute people as a self-governing political unit within the United States. The Tribal Council consists of five members, elected to staggered three-year terms and constitutes the governing body of the Tribe.
In 1974 under US v. Washington (Boldt Decision), the United States District Court affirmed the tribes’ treaty fishing rights “in common” with the citizens of Washington State. The decision designated 50 percent of the fishery to the tribes and provided for co-management of fishing and eventually shellfish resources. (This case was not closed; it has been left open for continuing sub-proceedings to further refine tribal fishing rights under the treaties.)
James Island or Akalat (Top of the Rock) figures prominently in the history of the Quileute people — from documented oral accounts, ethnography, ethnohistory and archeology. A natural fortress, the island was the location of a fortified village in 1788 when first described in Meares’ written accounts, and this defensive function was maintained into the second half of 1800s. Evidence of habitation in this area comparable to the Ozette site goes back 8000-9000 years, possibly longer. James Island is also known as a source of spirit power for the Quileute people and a place where hihg-status individuals were placed in canoes in the trees after death. In the second half of the 1800s, the island was used as a garden where potatoes and possibly other root crops were grown and stored in cellars. The viewpoint provided by the 160-foot high rock was ideally suited for sighting whales. It was a natural lookout to defend the village against occasionally hostile neighbors. In view of all of these and other uses as well, it is not surprising that the cultural resources of James Island are profoundly significant in Quileute culture and group identity.
James Island and the village of LaPush also were important sites in World War II as part of the 13th Naval District’s Coastal Lookout System. Both the LaPush Lifeboat Station and the LaPush Beach Patrol Station were located within the village adjacent to James Island. Because James Island obstructs a full view of the horizon from the village, a lookout tower next to the Lifeboat Station house was complemented by a second lookout structure on the island.
During 1997 archeological reconnaissance of the island, evidence of former structures was found, including foundations remnants; pieces of a cable car system with tracks, winch and cable car. These overlie archeological shell midden deposits, evidence of previous village habitation.
Today the US Coast Guard operates a foghorn warning system and a lighting system that provides guidance for boats entering the harbor during night-time inclement weather. A well-maintained steel stairway exists for maintenance and the more adventurous hikers.
During the summer of 1997, James Island or Akalat was the site and symbol of the International Gathering at LaPush where 23 tribes from Washington and British Columbia paddled to celebrate the revival of the ocean-going canoe traditions of Northwest Indian coastal tribes.
For many Washington residents, Indian and non-Indian alike, James Island stands as a preeminent reminder of the extraordinary breathtaking beauty of our Pacific beaches.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:42 am
@kyle, I agree with you.
@kim, let it go. They are conning you and your trying to rationalize it in your own mind, so you feel better.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:43 am
Sorry that was so long but WP is irritating when she/he rambles on about KNOWING something that no one else can know!
July 9th, 2010 at 7:50 am
Can anyone answer my questions before Kyle’s post… lol
July 9th, 2010 at 7:50 am
Hey Andrea.
The contest rules state that the ONE with the lowest forks wins the car in the first phase.
Why would Volvo make the people with lower forks compete with people with higher forks?
Well, let’s think back on a few of the posts. Now, I’m not saying that this is correct, because we can’t know if people are posting truthful info or not. But again, for the sake of argument, let’s just say that “as far as we can tell”, the info posted here is indeed, factual.
O.k. So. Two people posted that their parents work for Volvo. Right? They stated that their parents were told that 11 forks was the correct answer.
Just recently, another person posted that they showed WP18′s posts about Jacob and Bella’s picture, and that their parent gasped that that picture was supposed to be found in the second phase, and would notify Volvo game officials.
What that says to me is (IF we’re going to allow that these posts are at the very least….plausible) what that says to me is that Alice, WP18 et al found a way past the eleven forks that Volvo hadn’t intended that anyone would find.
So, that would mean that we all (the eleven fork folk) automatically made the cut. But when it became clear that there were people that had found lesser numbers of forks, then, of course, they had to include everyone.
Remember, Volvo said the ONE person with the least amount of forks wins. Obviously, there wasn’t only one.
As for it not making sense that Volvo would “include people in the second phase who clearly couldn’t navigate the course in the first phase”; well, I don’t know that it “doesn’t make sense”.
I think that it makes perfect sense. It keeps up the hype to let a lot of people through. It keeps people like you and me thinking, posting and reading about the game and ultimately, a Volvo product.
And why would Volvo give a hang if the contestants could or couldn’t navigate the course in the first phase? Alls they care about, I would venture to guess, is making sure that the rules are followed, that no one cheats, and that somebody wins, whether they are able to navigate the first course or not.
Frankly, I’m AWFULLY glad that they did allow all us “eleven forkers” through; aren’t you? ‘Cause otherwise, we’d be, um….you know….out of luck.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:05 am
@Kim, Alice was lying for sure! She posted all of these ridiculous clues (that don’t exist) to mislead everyone. She hasn’t even tried to come back and support her claims now that we all know she is full of it!
At least Wolfpack is holding his/her ground on the subject, even if we aren’t biting.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:09 am
@kim
if that person claiming their parent gasped because they worked for volvo told the truth it wouldnt make sense
because if that was meant to be in the second round volvo wouldnt “accidentally” make it possible to get through in the first round!
the game wouldnt be made to be like that they are seperate games they wouldnt somehow link to each other!
thats like playing super mario brothers on nintendo and saying “i hit a secret brick and it took me to a demo of grand theft auto 4″
they are seperate
they were made seperate
its impossible for them to accidentally get through
stop being stupid everyone
July 9th, 2010 at 8:10 am
@kim, I doubt that every Volvo employee will know the intricacies of the Computer programming done on the game. I would guess those who created the game had to sign some sort of confidentiallity form, not to release details. It’s creative property and protected by law I would think.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:12 am
oh @caroline
i didnt know about the new moon contest when it was out but i heard that there were 2 winners
i dont know anything about how the game was played
i tried looking on google to see how it was played and i didnt find anything D:
July 9th, 2010 at 8:18 am
Ohh okay. Thanks for trying though! And love the super mario/GTA analogy! haha
July 9th, 2010 at 8:20 am
I NEVER posted that Volvo “accidentally” did anything. I think that those things that Alice and WP18 said they found MAY (I don’t KNOW, ’cause I didn’t FIND or SEE what they say that they did) very well have been put there by Volvo, because, the rules state that the ONE with the lowest score wins the car. Right?
Now, let’s think. If Volvo set the BASELINE amount of forks at a certain number (eleven) why then, would they state that the ONE person with the least amount of forks will win the car, and then not make it possible that that could be accomplished. Remember, if it was easy to find less than eleven in the first phase, we’d all have done it. I don’t believe that Volve INTENDED to have anyone find secret links… and yes, I believe that they’re there, just EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find… but in case ONE person did find it, they’d win.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:20 am
@caroline lmao thanks
July 9th, 2010 at 8:23 am
@kim you are a head case…
July 9th, 2010 at 8:26 am
One more thought.
WP18 says he saw a picture of Jacob and Bella that (in this group of postings) NO ONE else has seen, correct?
Then, a child of a Volvo employee posts that their parent reads about the picture that NO ONE else here has seen, and that it’s supposed to be viewed in the next phase. Well, if that young person is telling the truth, (and frankly, why not?) that would substanciate what WP18 claims he saw.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:27 am
@kyle- your welcome
@kim- Honestly, WOW. You JUST said it yourself. If the “ONE” that found it (in this case, WP18 claiming he/she did) why then did he/she not win the Volvo IMMEDIATELY? BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FIND SUCH GLITCHES/LINKS!!!! And all the other garbage they are claiming!! AND/OR Volvo has not made such things. It’s obvious that the game is not flawed and it is what it is. THE LOWEST NUMBER OF FORKS WAS 11. And you’re pretty thick to think Volvo would make such mistakes as well as “cover up their tracks” and everything else being said against them.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:29 am
@Kim, but it WAS difficult to find in 11 forks, and did involve skill & deductive reasoning. They probably thought people would spend under 5 hours trying to figure it out rather than the DAYS some of you who were convinced there were “secret paths” spent on it. It WAS a difficult map to navigate, and until people started posting the cheat directions all over the internet, a lot of people were asking “How did you get 11?! I got 14!” rather than “How did you get 3, 7, or 9?”
Just because someone comes on here and says that they are all-knowing and found a super secret shortcut that we are all too stupid to see, doesn’t mean its true. And definitely doesn’t mean that the contest was easy by any means. They are just FULL OF IT.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:31 am
WP 18 also stated that he found the house in 9 forks. We all know now that he was lying. If he had found it in 9 forks, all of us who found it in 11 would not have received the congratulatory e-mails. Sorry WP-18 but I think you and Alice are really A** H***** for trying to mislead everyone.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:35 am
@kim
wp18 posted a screenshot of the supposed fork he got to after clicking
when everyone said it was from the volvo preview video from youtube he admitted that saying he didnt know how to do an actual screenshot and that he had to take the picture from the volvo video
that alone doesnt make any sense because he would have had to do a screen shot of the youtube video to get that picture
also he said he saw a picture of bella and jacob?
and then some random person said they saw the same pic?
the could have been wp18 himself who said “my parents work for volvo” you do know you can change the name that shows up on here right?
so heres an example:
HEY EVERYONE I SAW A PICTURE OF THE BOOGEYMAN KISSING JACOB IN A TREE! I FOUND A SHORTCUT BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE HAS SEEN THAT PIC!
July 9th, 2010 at 8:36 am
OMG HEY MY MOM WORKS FOR VOLVO AND WHEN I TOLD HER ABOUT THE BOOGEYMAN AND EDWARD PICTURE THAT PERSON SAW SHE GASPED AND SAID THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!
I MUST BE TELLING THE TRUTH!
July 9th, 2010 at 8:36 am
@kim- why are you so worried about weather or not people believe Alice and Wolfpack? As I previously stated Alice is a LIAR!! She changed her claims repeatedly. 1st there was a shortcut on the tree at the campsite sign, then it was in the forest with the footprints, then the yard with the bulldozer, and last in the chimney at the bar. Is that NOT a red flag for you?
July 9th, 2010 at 8:40 am
@Rosalie, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIND BOOGEYMAN PICTURE! I WANT TO WIN A CAR TOO!
July 9th, 2010 at 8:40 am
*boogeyman and jacob
edward would never kiss the boogeyman
July 9th, 2010 at 8:41 am
@caroline. o.k. Again, the people posting on this site ARE NOT the only ones playing this game. So If WP18 made it in eleven, and didn’t win, then, according to Volvo’s stated rules that the ONE person to get to the Cullen house in the least amt of forks wins…well, he must not have been the only one. I don’t know how many people got nine forks…cause not everybody that’s playing the game posts here.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:41 am
@esme lmao
July 9th, 2010 at 8:42 am
Sorry, I meant WP in NINE, not eleven.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:44 am
@kim -_- shut the fuck up quit being stupid once again THE PEOPLE WITH 11 WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN EMAILS
JESUS HOW RETARDED ARE YOU
July 9th, 2010 at 8:45 am
OMG!!! Kim, honestly! If wolfpack and 5 others had reached it in 9 forks, then they would be the ONLY ones going to the final phase.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:45 am
@Rosalie, go clean your room.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:49 am
@esme bella can do it
July 9th, 2010 at 8:50 am
I literally have tears in my eyes of the laughter at Esme’s comments!
and Seriously, just go put your head down in a corner somewhere, Kim.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:51 am
@ wicked.
frankly, my dear, I DON’T GIVE A TENTH OF A DAMN whether or not anybody believes anybody. I didn’t believe them myself after I’d gotten my email. I made it in eleven forks like most people.
I was just trying to suggest that there may be a reasonable explanation that could explain their (WP’s and Alice’s) claims.
If you believe it, don’t believe it, whatever. I DO NOT care.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:51 am
@caroline, re #744. your post… “The final phase (for those qualifying as detailed below) will begin at 10:00 AM PT on July 13, 2010 and end on July 15, 2010 at 10:00 AM PT (“Final Phase”).”
July 9th, 2010 at 8:52 am
@rosalie
bella is a part of our family now
shes not gonna be cleaning up after you
you can clean your room yourself
July 9th, 2010 at 8:53 am

July 9th, 2010 at 8:57 am
@Kim- If it’s all the same to you, why so defensive and namecalling?
July 9th, 2010 at 8:58 am
calm down baby
July 9th, 2010 at 8:58 am
@Kim, good glad you see it that way! Why put your neck out there for these people? Let them come and defend their own claims. Alice won’t I tried calling her out several times last night and she is in hiding.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:00 am
@Esme
yes I’ve been feeling quite thirsty
July 9th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Kim, you seem to find some credibility in what Alice and WP are saying. Yet there are 10′s of people refuting what A and WP say. You were conned and now you are trying to rationalize it in your own mind to feel better and look better on this site. LET IT GO.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:05 am
@wicked- you have this Alice’s number?? LOL
July 9th, 2010 at 9:06 am
Alright caroline; now, posting s**t like:
“shut the fuck up”
is taking this ‘friendly’ chatsite to the next level.

@rosalie- Why dont you like me? I try and I try and nothing is ever good enough for you! Is it because I’m not pretty enough? If you change me, I can be beautiful too!!
July 9th, 2010 at 9:12 am
And i agree. But stooping down to that person’s level is equally as shameful. Specially when this person is roleplaying on a fan site and is obviously light-hearted. BUT, do as you wish. Believing/wasting your time trying to ratify the complete bullshittery that Alice and WP did is your decision.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:13 am
justme, people see what they wanna, read into things what they want. I don’t find credibility in ANYTHING they’ve stated. I am simply stating that there MAY be an explanation that would bear them out.
Again, just because these two ‘claim’, or ‘say’: I made it in “nine” or “three”, well, maybe they did. And, IF they did, and no one has been declared the winner, then that must mean that (IF they’re telling the truth) there were more than just the two of them that got the same number of forks.
Now, whether any of you agree or not, well, that’s up to you. The point is…we’ve made the cut, and may the best man or woman win.
Also, Emmit: THANKS,dude. Point well taken.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:13 am
@Bella
you will NEVER be as beautiful as me..
July 9th, 2010 at 9:13 am
THANKS rules!
July 9th, 2010 at 9:14 am
did anyone go the website i posted? see comment 734 and 735… im still playing and have not found a shorter route then 11 forks.. remember to click that you live in austria to play.. the game is still going on there
July 9th, 2010 at 9:17 am
Just a thought, not trying to be lewd.. Is it harder for Edward to not kill Bella when she’s on her monthly gift?
July 9th, 2010 at 9:19 am
@Rosalie, Edward loves me just as I am. He chose ME!! Will you never except me as a sister?

July 9th, 2010 at 9:42 am
@anyone willing to answer lol- Might sound a little naive, but is the “vampires suck” a real movie or just mini-parody videos?
July 9th, 2010 at 9:42 am
@Rosalie, they just want to hop on the bandwagon and make money! Don’t worry about it! And everything they make fun of is what the true fans LOVE about the movies! Its just a fun, silly, parody! No harm done! And if they do hurt your feelings you can just kill them! After all they are only human!
July 9th, 2010 at 9:43 am
BELLA NO!
July 9th, 2010 at 9:43 am

If you are going to pretend to be me at least use correct spelling.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:48 am
@Bella Isn’t it enough to have a long and happy life with me?
July 9th, 2010 at 9:48 am
@Real Edward, I was wondering if we needed to send you back to grade school for the 50th time after seeing your spelling of “steal” as “still”.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Somebody change Bella before I eat her..
July 9th, 2010 at 9:51 am
@Esme The real “Edward” is me.
The “Edward” who spelled “steal” “still” was just trying to be cool by claiming to be me
July 9th, 2010 at 9:52 am
….I think I stumbled into the wrong place..
July 9th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Where are Carlisle and Alice? I think we should vote.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:54 am
@Bella, I vote yes, but not until you have a half-human, half-vampire child.. So you better get to work!
July 9th, 2010 at 9:54 am
@Bella
I already consider you my sister…yes.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:56 am

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder to play nicely.
Is there anyone out there who got it in 11 that hasn’t received their email yet? We got it in 11 and still haven’t received an email. Makes me wonder if some are still being sent or if there was a cutoff.
July 9th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Please people…So if 11 forks people got email…where is mine…I was one if the first to get 11.
July 9th, 2010 at 10:11 am

I don’t want to hear everyones thoughts while they are making love
July 9th, 2010 at 10:13 am

has anyone played 2nd round yet, anywhere in the world? I see I only get 1 chance to play, and there will be 3 questions, so don’t want to waste it, if the questions are from book or from movie, I can read / view in advance of the day round 2 opens (any excuse to go back and see the movie
I’m not looking for solution, just any info anyone might have as to what I’m best revising in advance…
July 9th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Edward, it worked your going to be a daddy!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 10:27 am
@Bella when is she being born i have to imprint on her
July 9th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I’ll just add that I have the chance to win a weekend away in an Irish castle and use of the XC60 for the weekend…. They’ll make the winner give the XC60 back, ;-(
July 9th, 2010 at 10:28 am
@Jacob
stay away from Bella and Renesmee
July 9th, 2010 at 10:38 am
@Jacob, don’t make me choose, because it will be him. It’s ALWAYS been him.
July 9th, 2010 at 10:40 am
@Bella…don’t do this..
July 9th, 2010 at 10:45 am
@Jacob, sorry but he can give me immortality, and a heck of a good time in the sack. What can you offer?
July 9th, 2010 at 10:52 am
@Bella I can roar…
July 9th, 2010 at 10:53 am
Kim, have you lost your mind?
Let be break it down for you just in case you still need additional clarification: if one or several others found a route shorter than 11 forks then none of the rest of us would have been invited to the next round.
Get it?
July 9th, 2010 at 10:54 am
@Jacob
you should leave…now..
July 9th, 2010 at 10:54 am
LOL! I love this!
July 9th, 2010 at 10:58 am
(sam uley and the rest of the wolf pack approach in their wolf form as jacob vigorously transforms into a wolf and lets out a huge roar.)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:00 am
(emmett, jasper, alice and rosalie jump down from the trees and ready themselves for attack as edward slowly raises his right hand to slash jacob’s throat)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:02 am
@Jacob this is your last chance to leave alive..
July 9th, 2010 at 11:02 am
Please don’t! It doesn’t have to be this way!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:03 am
*stomps my front paw down and roars loudly*
July 9th, 2010 at 11:09 am
@Jacob,@Edward, You can’t hurt each other without hurting me!
Please Don’t!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:11 am
*calms down, looks at bella and then runs off into the woods with the rest of the wolf pack*
July 9th, 2010 at 11:11 am
o.k, so where is the narrator when you need him?
July 9th, 2010 at 11:12 am
(the rest of the cullens disappear)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Uhhh, I think the baby is coming!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:21 am
@Bella right now?!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:24 am
@Edward… never mind, it was just gas!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:26 am
@Bella
you aren’t good for me
I don’t want you
don’t to anything reckless for Charlie’s sake
this is the last time you will ever see me
i wont come back
and you can go on living your life without any interference from me
it will be like i never existed i promise.
*kisses your forehead then disappears into the woods*
July 9th, 2010 at 11:28 am
techie, have you read the administrators post abt ‘playing nicely’? If you’ve a rebuttal or simply aren’t buying what I’m suggesting, well, cool. It doesn’t warrant being rude. I don’t care if you agree or not.
If you agree, well, good for you. If you don’t agree, good for you.
All that really matters is that you (all) are ‘supposedly’ advancing to the next phase of the game. And who knows U may be lyin’ bout dat.
July 9th, 2010 at 11:30 am
(the annoying “kim” creature interrupts the storyline)
July 9th, 2010 at 11:31 am
@Edward, What did I do wrong? was it the gas? I’m sorry but that happens sometimes in pregnancy!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:40 am
@Rosalie, Edward doesn’t want me anymore! will you help me raise my child?
July 9th, 2010 at 11:42 am
why I gotta be annoying? somebody makes some funkyass remarks @ me…that’s alright…but….I’m just hold up a finger…the middle one…peaceout.
July 9th, 2010 at 11:44 am
@Bella of course i will
July 9th, 2010 at 11:46 am
I just never thought Edward would be a dead-beat dad!
July 9th, 2010 at 11:50 am
@Bella i could have told you that
July 9th, 2010 at 11:55 am
I would enlist Jacob to be her father, but he just wants to use me so that he can imprint on my daughter!
July 9th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
@Bella seems like you have a problem
July 9th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Just curious. How many people are still on right now reading everything the cullens are saying? Lol
July 9th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Bella, your dying. nobody wants to play with you anymore.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Bella dies in childbirth. Edward is killed by the Volturi.
Sam and the pack kill Renesme before Jacob imprints. End Story.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
(and suddenly someone pushes the rewind button. we are back to the voting scene)
July 9th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
7-11-2010 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE of Easter Island. I wish I could be there when it happens.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Yes but before Renesme is killed by the pack she bit Jacob in the struggle and he’s turning into a wolfpire.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
LMAO jacob will now be shunned by vampires and werewolves
July 9th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
@techie- ROFL
July 9th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Stay tuned for “Jacob the Wolfpire” the next chapter in the Twilight Saga!
July 9th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
who has read midnight sun?
i hear people saying they are going to make a movie out of it but why would they because its pretty much just the same as twilight
also i heard breaking dawn will be split into 2 parts and part 1 will be 2011 part 2 will be 2012 so they will make double the money
July 9th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
@mister, I don’t see how they can make Midnight into a movie when She isn’t even going to finish the book.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
OOOpps! I meant Midnight Sun.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
I have read midnight sun and I don’t think they are going to make it into a movie since Stephenie meyer hasn’t even finished the book. Also breaking dawn will be 2 movies. The first one comes out Nov. 18 2011. Thats so far away!
July 9th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I haven’t read “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” yet.
Is it any good?
July 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
i just bought the Bree Tanner book, hope its good
July 9th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
I got the email! I also got 11! For everyone who hasn’t gotten an email check ur spam! That’s where I found mine!
July 9th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Brew manner was pretty good. Like even though I know the ending I really wanted it.to turn out different lol
July 9th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Oh that’s bree tanner lol
July 9th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Thanks for the message to check my spam! I had 11 before the first day was done.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Has anyone read the rules close enough to know if you can test out more than once and take the fastest time?
July 9th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
wow, this site is kinda boring without the cullens. I wonder if Jasper is finished flying solo yet!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
No Im pretty sure you only get one chance
July 9th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
It’s kinda boring without people arguing with WP18
July 9th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
@Volleyball, yeah, I wonder if he will make an appearance today!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I’d like Alice to show up
I mean notice how she disappeared right when people started getting e-mails
hmm….
July 9th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
i came downstairs and everyone was gone…
July 9th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
@Jackie- Alice is hiding, I tried to get her to come out and play,but she wouldn’t!
Although, the way Kim was defending Alice and wolfpack earlier, kinda makes ya wonder if Kim is Alice.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
@Jasper, LOL!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
@ wicked. Lol I hope so. He will have probably already won the Volvo by now! They probably gave him 2 cause he is soooo awesome!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
@Jasper
I was just waiting for Bella to leave. She was having the baby I’m not ready to be a father I’m only 109!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
@Edward-Hey man, thought you were dead! Don’t worry Bella and Renesme are dead, but I am one of you now.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
@Volleyball, lol! your probably right. That is where he is, driving his new car!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Did anyone make it into the final round??
July 9th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
@wicked. Hahaha wow
July 9th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
wicked- I’m not Alice. On a different site, I challenged her assertions about being able to ‘see’ so many things that, frankly, didn’t seem to help.
Anyway, when WP18 posted his clues…it seemed to help her arrive at the Cullen house in less than eleven forks…at least that’s the way it appeared.
I’m not stating anything for or against either of them, just trying to suggest that there may have been an answer to the ‘less than eleven forks’ assertions…because they were troubling me as well.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
@Jacob you aren’t one of my
you are a wolfpire
you are an outcast
July 9th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Alice, wolfpack and kim are all riding around in WP’s new Volvo!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
This is the problem with this (online) form of communication. One doesn’t really know who is typing on the keypad. For that matter, I could ‘wicked’, or kyle, or anyone of the posters.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
@Edward.. your daughter did this to me!! I blame you all!! I will raise an army of wolfpires and you will rue the day!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
@kim. I too wondered about the less than 11 route. i followed wolfpacks clues for quite along time and didn’t doubt that he was telling the truth, that was until i got my email. Volvo made thier rules clear. Only the people who make it in the lowest # of forks go to round 2. End of story. So 11 was the lowest route. WP18 couldn’t have gotten less.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
@Jennifer, I think I just saw them drive past my house. NICE CAR!!!
@Kim..your not wicked, I’m wicked!!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
@ jennifer- one of my most favorite names- naw, I’m not ridin ’round,,,, I’m glad to know that my Jennifer isn’t you. Thank God for large miracles.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
@Jasper- poor fella, maybe Alice will make it up to you later!
July 9th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
@Jacob
all i need is jane and alec of the volturi guard on my side and they will destroy you all
July 9th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Just a few other thoughts, and them I’m through posting about this, since, at the end of the day, what really matters is that each of us has made it to the next phase, and how we will navigate that part of the game.
There were a few people that posted (I wasn’t one of them) that they found the same thing as WP did…the “hand” without the left or right direction printed underneath.
The one poster “Frank”, I think, said that he’d seen it, but wasn’t fast enough to click on it. He also intimated that he didn’t really think that Alice was ‘right’ in what she was posting.
So, is Frank “wolfpack”? What about the other poster, a female (name) that claimed to have seen the lone hand at a lot of the forks….
Now, I didn’t see any ‘hands’, ‘words’, I did see a few numbers… but it didn’t help. So, since it didn’t help, what does it matter?
My feeling is, and from what I’ve learned reading these posts; is that there are some who will not consider other arguments or outlooks, are afraid to speak out, if it seems to put them at odds with the ‘majority consensus’… even when the anonimity of online communication keeps people from knowing, well, really anything about who the person(s) are that’s doing the posting.
Amazing stuff, really.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
@Kim.. I considered their arguments, I tried to follow their advice to no avail. But, now that I as well as many others have made it into the final phase at 11, I see no relevance to their claims at all. The e-mail says it all. I do have to give wolfpack props for sticking to his claims even after the fact. At least HE is stepping up, unlike Alice.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
@Edward..We are a new breed, Jane and Alec have no power over us!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
@Edward, I will make you pay for letting Bella die.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Hey, Jake. I’m not dead! I just figured this was the only way to find Edward and make him pay child support.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
@Jacob
i dont care if shes dead
she was just my booty call
tanya from alaska is my real true love
why do you think i ditched bella when she was having the baby
but you let bella die too
so make yourself pay
July 9th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Aghhhh…it finally came to me…the 3 questions…and in no particular order.
1) Name the meds that Alice was using while playing “Lost in Forks”?
2) How many licks did it take WP18 to get to the center of a tootsie roll lollipop?
3) Where debate team to Kim participate on when she was in high school (just so we all know not to send our kids there)?
July 9th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
crap…clearly i can’t type…question 3 v.2) What debate team did Kim participate on when she went to highschool?
July 9th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
OH SHIT BELLAS BACK!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
@Edward, surprise-surprise, Bella isn’t dead! she tricked you.
Now I have added her to my Army, so I can hear thoughts.
You should be glad you can’t cause you really don’t want to know what she is thinking!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
I want to thank you all for the hours of entertainment reading and posting on this blog has been.
:-E
July 9th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
im still playing and i havent seen any of these things some people claim to…i’m done. i wasted my whole day but i did get my email this morning that i get to play phase 2!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
@Jacob oh yeah? well ive created a whole army of vampire/trex/spaceman/incredible hulk/bear/more powerful spaceman people and we are gonna destroy you
July 9th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Wow, Edward….by bears…do you mean a Care Bear Army???…now that’s scary!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
actually none of this would work out in the story
nessie biting jacob couldnt make him a wolfpire because only male half vampires can turn people by biting
female half vampires cant turn people at all
July 9th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
@ Edward, you forgot about Mothman, the Jersey Devil, fire-breathing dragons, and Unicorns so i’ve enlisted them all!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
@Techie, yeah,it’s been fun. Hate to see it all end!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Jacob, everybody knows that dragons aren’t real.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
@Edward, I’ve contacted an attorney, so there!!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
@techie-lmao!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
@Jacob
well i enlisted optimus fucking prime
July 9th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
bah ha ha, Edward…awesome!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
@Techie i know right
nobody fucks with optimus
July 9th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
you got that right!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
where the hell did everybody go?
July 9th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
i have no idea
this is probably dead since everyone got their emails
July 9th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
@Edward, one word Terminator!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
@Jacob optimus will still take all of you
btw i also have ALL the autobots ALL the decepticons and the fallen
and UNICRON the planet eating transformer
i win
July 9th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
And it’s apparent that Kim, WP18, and Alice don’t want to play with the rest of us anymore.
I was soooooo looking forward to having some more fun.
Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait ’til next week when things will likely pick up again with round 2 starting.
Who knows?…maybe we’ll all see Jacob’s house, the treaty, the backpack, etc. and will have to humbly eat crow…nah, just messin’.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
The volvo game for New Moon didn’t have any trivia questions. It was a series of different games where you had to use twilight knowledge from the books and movies. One phase was when Bella was running the St. Marcus festival and it was a maze where you had to navigate through the red caps to get to Edward before the clock struck 12. Another phase was figuring out the different phases of the moon in Chicago during 1901.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Yes, but Bella’s getting the AllSpark in the divorce/child support settlement.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
DAMN YOU EDWARD!!!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Hey everyone, I’m sure things will pickup in a little while, ya never know. Wolfpack may be at work now, he may show up!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
HAHAHAHA!!! I RULE THE WORLD!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
@Techie, I am hiring you as my new attorney!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Techie, you are freaking HILARIOUS!
And Edward, Bella and Jacob…I enlisted CHUCK NORRIS. So there.
July 9th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Edward…Carlisle is going to be so dissappointed in you!
July 9th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
@Jennifer once while making love in a semi truck a drop of Chuck Norris’s semen dripped onto the seat. this truck is now known as optimus prime..
July 9th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Well I was gonna say that Jennifer won with the Chuck Norris comment.
With Edward’s last post, however, I must hand the trophy to him…nice comeback Edward, very nice indeed!
Bella, where are you with the AllSpark? Hire WP18 to help break the code and you can be the supreme ruler of all!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Great idea Techie! After all, Wolfpack can crack any code, even the imaginary ones!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
@Bella LMAO
July 9th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Yes, and Alice can do it even better than WP18. She can see the numbers in the corners of the AllSpark.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
@Edward, thought you should know, I’m with Stephan Salvatore now. He slipped me his # when he stumbled in on us earlier.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
What would happen if the children of Jacob & Renesmee imprinted on Optimus Prime and then they had children?…now that would be the ultimate!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Harsh, Bella, but all is fair in love and war.
Guess you deserve it though, Edward. You did have that affair up in Alaska with Tanya that one time. Rat Bastard!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
@Techie… as well as strange. 1/4 human, 1/4 vampire, 1/4 wolf, and 1/4 transformer.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Yep, Wicked, but what an awesome concoction.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
What should we name it?
July 9th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Hmmm… what about the Wovamptron?
July 9th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
hahahahahaha!
July 9th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Edward, are you denying your previous relationship with Tanya?
Remember, you’re under oath.
July 9th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Hello. I’ve enjoyed reading the comments here – such a laugh! Anyways, I played the New Moon Volvo game and let me tell you, that was HARD! I couldn’t even get through the first round without cheating. There were 3 phases. And once you completed a phase, you had to wait a few weeks for the next phase to begin. They emailed you a link.
From what I can remember (and this was a while ago, so forgive me for the sketchy details), the first phase, you were sent to a very basic image of a map of Forks. If you can remember what the screen looked like on Pac Man, where it’s just lines and blocks, that’s how the Forks map looked. There were no points of reference other than occasionally there would be a square labelled, Forks High School, or Highway 101, but every place in Forks was not labelled. There were no instructions, no clues, nothing. Once you clicked the link to enter the contest, this map was what you were faced with and you had to work it all out for yourself. I stared at that map for hours and clicked all through it and couldn’t figure out what to do for the life of me, so I turned to Google. I’m not even ashamed about it – it was that stressful. In fact, I can’t even remember what the object of the map was because I didn’t actually work it out for myself. But I should point out, I only resorted to cheating after countless hours of staring at that stupid map. I also had no idea what I was up against with Volvo puzzles at that point.
The next phase, there were 12 calenders on the screen (the same sort of calenders you have on Windows, except there were no dates in each square – only M W S written across the top of each calender – I can’t remember if those were the actual letters, but each calender block only had 1, 2, or 3 letters along the top. In fact, I didn’t even realize I was looking at a calendar for a long while.). Again, no instructions, but you were given a clue. Can’t remember what it was, but whatever the clue was, after hours and hours of staring these 12 grids with random letters along the top of each one, it occured to me to find out when the New Moon would be for each month. But which year? And how would I find when the New Moon was? So I remembered that when I was growing up, my dad used to get the Farmer’s Almanac every year, and that had a listing of all the moon phases and the dates they occured. So I ended up googling the Farmer’s Almanac and starting with the current year, clicked the square on the calendar where the new moon occurred that month. This was not an easy task, because the squares were not numbered, so I had to count along the blocks and make sure I picked the correct day of the week to start for the 1st of the month. It took an absolute age to complete. When I submitted, I got a “try again” message, so I tried a few other years, finally realizing that it was either Edward’s birth year, or death year they were after. But after submitting both, I was still getting a “try again”. After much research, it turns out that in 1918 (I think that was the year), some almanacs said the new moon of one of the months was on a different date than some of the other almanacs said. Once I changed the new moon for that particular month, I was through to the next phase. You have no idea the amount of hours I put into that stupid calender puzzle. But I did get there in the end.
The final phase was the courtyard scene in Italy. It was an overhead view of the scene with lots of men in red cloaks. You had to move Bella to the clocktower. But she couldn’t move if a red cloak person was in the way (imagine a chess board, where Bella can only move one square at a time). You would click on red cloak to make them move aside to make a space for Bella, but as soon as you moved Bella, another red cloak would move in the way. So it was a puzzle where when you made a move, all the other pieces would move. If you moved them in the wrong way, you would often find yourself blocked in because from what I can remember, you could only move the cloaks nearest Bella. So I had to restart that puzzle countless times from getting her stuck amongst the red cloaks. I believe that puzzle was timed and you had to get to Edward at the clocktower before noon. I didn’t get to him in time. You could keep trying with the puzzle, but I do believe the contest winner won in the shortest time overall. After spending hours on that puzzle, I knew I wasn’t going to win.
So when this Eclipse Volvo game came along (I’m in the UK, btw, and still playing), I thought, uh oh, here we go again…but then I made it in 11 forks on something like my third try. I then went through and mapped out every single fork and deduced that 11 was the absolute lowest. But having had the experience with the New Moon game, it all seemed way too easy. I’m telling you, this first Eclipse phase was a piece of cake compared to that New Moon game. I mean, come on, I had to research the Farmer’s Almanac!!! I have yet to find a shorter route or the clues that Alice/WP 18 refer too, but I must say I do believe there is something more to the game than meets the eye.
I’m very sorry for the enormous post, but since so many people asked, I thought I should share my past experience with these Volvo games.
July 9th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Thanks for the extra info. I for one don’t expect the next round to be easy, but it’ll be fun to try.
July 9th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Sooo based on “After pressing “enter” ….) (the “Start”), Finalists will have to find the Cullen’s House again, view the scene and, after the “eclipse”, answer the three (3) questions about the scene in the shortest amount of time from the Start until the time they press “submit”.
So the scene disapears after the Eclipse? I’m guessing? The questions have to be multiple choice. Right?
July 9th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
@Brigette, yes thanks for the background.

@bridget lol wow I can’t believe I just read all that. it was very informative and im sure the next round is going to be tourture lol! thanks!
July 9th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Hey… Why isn’t anyone speaking up for me (ahh hmm…. DAD you know what Im thinking) I guess it is know time for me to chime in.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Hey guys, anyone heard from wolfpack?
July 9th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Ir’s Friday Night Bella, go out, meet people.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Nessie baby, I told you your father doesn’t want us anymore.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
that spoof that Esme posted the link to (795) is absolutely hilarious! I love the real twilight books/movies, but you had to see this coming! that is going to be one funny flick!!
Great job to all the role-players on here. you’ve really lightened the mood up!
July 9th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Im with Elena Gilbert now..
July 9th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
I think that everyone here knows that what we all did in phase one of this contest to get 11 forks didn’t take anymore skill than a chimpanzee would need. volvo just isnt this easy so i think there must have been at least something else that we all didnt see and didnt want to admit that we could have missed it because we got the email. big deal if we got the email it still doesnt change the fact that it does say at the visitor center that there is a easter egg at JACOBS HOUSE! where the hell is it did you find it, or you, how about you? No you didnt and neither did I but just because we couldnt find it doesnt mean that wolfpack didnt find it. and check the other boards there are others claiming they found jacobs house and the easter egg that wp18 said he/she found. it was very nice of them to let us know about it, and if I were them I wouldnt try to help you wannabees out anymore. you ask why would he help? could it be to just be a good person and help people from going crazy wondering what they missed? many people posts the correct solutions to many games all the time what about the Doritos quest, does anyone remember that? the CORRECT answer was posted within an hour of the puzzles release AND if I remember correctly, the actual person that WON THE CONTEST, WAS ONE OF THAT FORUM’S MEMBERS THAT “BORROWED” THE ANSWER FROM THE POSTER!!! THAT GUY WON 100,000 DOLLARS! Just by being on that site at the right time and TRUSTING that that very generous poster was indeed correct, search google and read all about it! So, I say it aint over until it’s over, and lets be lucky that our very minor simpleton 11 forks solution at least will allows us to play in the next round. but it couldnt have ‘really’ been that easy.
July 9th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
BTW there are a lot of very childish GREEN EYED MONSTERS on this site. so what she/he found something we didnt something you ‘children’ need to learn in life is that there is ALWAYS gonna be someone bigger, smarter, prettier/more hansome, richer, taller, faster, quicker, more talented, and GREATER than you, no matter what so……………..suck it up and just do the best that YOU can do and dont put others down out of jealousy and envy try to learn from them if they are generous enough to teach you.
July 9th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
how are some perpel on the uk web?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:01 am
So I think that they will probably start us off at a different fork than the one in the first phase and we won’t know which one until we hit the enter button, but that’s just my theory, any thoughts? Congrats to everyone who made it through, see you on the 13th! And to those who just gave away the answers in the first phase: watch your back, the volturi don’t give second chances!
July 10th, 2010 at 12:32 am
@Jane
you dont press enter until you have watched the clip and are ready to answer the question….
July 10th, 2010 at 5:04 am
@Edward, yeah I read that too but didn’t it also say you have to find the cullen house again? That’s what I was talking about… or maybe I misunderstood, either way I’m sure it won’t be easy, but I like a challenge!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:25 am
OK, the first time I played and found the fork that leads to pack fire to the left and the river brook to the right, my first reaction when I saw the smoke and what seems to be a red wall on the very left of the screen, was: “OH, Jacob’s house” and I’ve never thought otherwise. The ticker tape simply says “Has anyone found Jacob’s house?” there was never indication that they meant some kind of route that lead to a full-blown house.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:11 am
I’m with MP…@linda.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:47 am
Linda, I’d be interested in the other forums you made mention of. Would you mind posting the web addresses? Thanks.
As you can see, even when presented with evidence, some will refuse to admit that they may be (not ARE), just MAY be, mistaken.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:27 am
Edward bella jobob nessie and technie u guys are hilarious im liking the role play and the comment about alice and wp18 had me buckled in two keep up the humor guys
July 10th, 2010 at 8:05 am
@ Brigette
Thanks for that outline, I have to admit I’m still mapping the forks layout using the UK site, as the Irish ‘lost in forks’ has closed! suddenly realising 2d word doc just doesnt do it, so pins and corkboard are now in play and screenshots! I’m surprised your brains aren’t melting out your ears after reading what ‘new moon’ entailed!
well good luck to all…
July 10th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Kim, you’re back…YAY!
And Linda, I’m guessin’ she must be someone’s mom (not mentioning any names…ahem…WP, Alice)…just kidding folks.
Linda, please lighten up. No one’s jealous on here. Good grief. Honestly, none of us will likely win this thing. And just because the Jacob’s House sighting has been posted on another forum doesn’t make it real. It could be WP or Alice or even WP and Alice wannabes…or worse others just tryin’ to mess with everybody’s head.
Yes, Jacob’s House COULD EXIST, no one has ever really said that it CAN’T BE (at least not me). The majority has just said that it ISN’T LIKELY.
Why? Well if you look at the evidence of course. It’s simple to see and understand the reactions. WP claimed to have seen Jacob’s House 2 or 3 times at least. So, when everyone on the forum asked for proof he wasn’t able to do so. And, don’t get us started on Alice. She claimed for days to have been able to follow WP’s solution and that she got to the Cullen’s in even fewer choices than WP. She kept explaining how she saw all of these secret passages and numbers and such. But when it came time to show visual evidence with folks of her trip in 3 forks, was it, she couldn’t do that either.
I would bow at WP’s feet if he can show us that he did the trip in under 11. But the fact that we’re all playing along side of him is the ultimate proof that he didn’t go in less than 11 like the rest of us.
The original Alice hasn’t shown up for days…not since the emails went out to the masses inviting us all to play in the final round. Doesn’t that say something.She had no problem sending people of wild goose chases while the contest was still going on…so was she helping people. I guess that question should be posed to everyone else.
So, everybody, was Alice helpful? Was she teaching you anything?
All that we’ve been doing on this forum is examining and discussing the evidence presented to us. If it can be refuted, then oh well. That’s life, isn’t it? We’re not picking on the people behind them….only what they’ve claimed.
Show me (not just tell me) and I’ll be a believer! Posts here or on other sights of this or that doesn’t do it for me. I’m an empirical person. Seeing is believing.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Where is Wovamptron when you need her/him?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:49 am
Linda- I don’t think that is a fair statement to make about calling people “green eyed monsters” I’ve also been keeping up with the threads and without pointing the finger and writing a novel which seems to cause alot of chaos on this site I’m going to tell you where JACOB’S HOUSE is (my opinion). We’ve all seen it and we’ve all seen the easter egg AKA “HOTSPOT”. The bonfire/council meeting is in Jacob’s front yard. If you watched Eclipse you would of seen his nice little red house directly behind the fire and the shed to the left. It is not beneath me to say I could be wrong, but the “How to Play”, says the clues can be misleading. I never called Alice or WP18 names or even suggested that they was lying,
but I have stated and noticed some of WP18′s slip ups. For example refer to 504. I’m definitly not JEALOUS.
Sorry for the rant. I did not mean to write that much.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:56 am
I did call Alice a liar, due to the fact that she hasn’t bothered to show up and defend her claims. I never called Wolfpack a liar. I said I didn’t believe him, but respect that he is standing by his claims.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Anyone notice that in the movie Eclipse, the scene where Bella has gone to see Jacob in his room after his ribs were crushed, there is a photo on Jacobs wall that is the exact image of the La Push scene in the game? It actually takes up most of the shot as Bella turns into the doorway to leave his room. I knew I was going mental when I could pick out scenes from that stupid game while I was watching the film.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:04 am
@Techie, did you see that Edward admitted to yet a secon affair? It’s Elena Gilbert now. That Cheating Cheese Ball!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Crap, no Bella, I missed that…all these new rantings going on has gotten in the way of the fun.
Well, Bella, my girl, you know what you gotta do…it’s time to pull out the big guns.
Everybody needs a Sugar Daddy, right? I heard the Carlisle is down at the local bar. Head down there and take care of business! Sorry Esme, but it’s gotta be done.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:15 am
@Techie, Thanks!! I wonder if I could take Alice’s secret shortcut through the chimney?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Rosalie, exacta-mundo!
Right on, Sister. The treaty wouldn’t be on a damn table as WP said it was in one of the scenes. DUH!!!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Bella, that is the only way, afterall.
chuckle, chuckle, chuckle
July 10th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Oh,shit Techie! I tried that shorcut and it didn’t take me anywhere!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Did you look for the numbers in the upper left? lol
July 10th, 2010 at 9:51 am
the treaty wouldn’t be on the table…wasn’t that one of the questions in the tickertape?
“What’s on the table?”
July 10th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Has anyone seen Jacob? Sam’s looking for him.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:04 am
well techie?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:06 am
The reference about the treaty was about WP saying that once he got to Jacob’s House the treaty was on the table.
Rosalie’s point about it being a slip-up, I think, was that the treaty isn’t a physical thing that would be on a table.
Rosalie, that is what you meant, right?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:07 am
oh, I know. wp18 must’ve wrotedownallthecluesinthetickertapeandthenconcoctedthesemadeupwormholesandglitchestomatchthequestionsinthetickertapebecauseheobviouslywantstotrickeveyoneintothinkingthatheknowsmorethaneveryoneelse.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:08 am
There is no table. There is no spoon. I know kung fu!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:14 am
“rosalie’s point about it being a slip-up…was that the treaty isn’t a physical thing that would be on a table”
how would she know. maybe the game developer designed it that way…especially since there was a question asking about what was on the table.but. since not many of us has found a scene with anything on a table, we can’t say difinitively WHAT the answer to that question is.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:18 am
there is no spoon, huh. well, dude, I’ve seen the spoon myself. as a matter of fact…the only way I was able to find the spoon was because of Alice pointing it out to me. wanna know where the spoon was;;;oh that’s right,,,you know everything…my bad.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:20 am
Kim,
Aren’t all of the other Easter Eggs real scenes from the movie?
So, there should never be a treaty on a table. I think that was her point.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Kim,
I’m not even going to bother. “There is no spoon” is a line from the Matrix. It was meant to poke fun at “there is no table”.
Sheez…jokes are wasted on you.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:27 am
well, you can’t ‘speak’ for her, now can you. now I think of it…wasn’t there a question in the tickertape that said something like…”where is the treaty?” now, if the treaty wasn’t a physical item, why would Volvo ask where it was.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:30 am
anyway dude. I wasn’t asking about what rosalie posted. I ask YOU if the reference was made about the table. ur just deflecting the question by talking abt what ‘rosalie’ posted. butanyway, youknow EVERY damn thing, so I’m sure you know ALL about this, too.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:31 am
oh. nowyougotjokes. since you can’t admit that just maybe…just maybe WP18 may have been telling the truth.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:42 am
Kim, what in the hell are you talking about?
You’ll see in post 1020, I specifically asked Rosalie about what she meant. So I’m not in any way shape or form trying to speak for her. You however had/have no problem speaking for WP, right? But apparently that’s ok to do.
We don’t know what, if anything, is on the table because we haven’t seen a table now have we?
Several have already made the point about some of the questions being red herrings.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:45 am
Here’s an idea… LET IT GO. What difference does it make? Why is it SO important for people to say “YES, you are so completely right, I’m so sorry for doubting you.”
Guess what?! It’s not going to happen because just as you’re holding your ground, so will the other.
Again, LET IT GO.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:47 am
Techie- Yes, my comment (my opinion) meant that the treaty is not something that can be seen on a table. It is not a physical object. It is however a boundary line (physical place) and some other things. The only reason I said anything at all (504) because WP18 was implying how ignorant some people was.
Kim- There is a question that ask. Where is the treaty? Sooooo where is it?
July 10th, 2010 at 11:04 am
sooooooooooooooo idon’tknow.doU.
I’m not speaking for anybody. I ask u,techie, wasn’t “what’s on the table?” one of the questions in the tickertape.that was in reference to your ‘thetreatywouldn’tbeonadamntable’ post. sorosaliemp: I got an IDEA for y’all:
July 10th, 2010 at 11:05 am
u KNOW what u can do.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:06 am
@Kim, there you go again. sticking your neck out for something that even you have no proof exists, WHY? You are in this alone cause even wolfpack isn’t around anymore to support YOU! Give it up, already!
July 10th, 2010 at 11:09 am
The only place this dead-end discussion will lead to is frustration, which by the way @Kim is typing, I’d say she’s there.
LET IT GO.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:20 am
I’m not frustrated, dude, um..girl, whateveryouare. but. we will see on tuesday if there’s a Jacob’s House/treatyontable, all of that imaginary stuff, I ask techie about what he/she posted. wickedgirlboy,mp,whatever youall are. let techie answer for him/herself. you children don’t need to pipe in.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Kim- I believe this is exactly what Techie said (copy and paste) “Rosalie’s point about it being a slip-up, I think, was that the treaty isn’t a physical thing that would be on a table”. KEY WORDS: “I think”
July 10th, 2010 at 11:24 am
@Kim I’m not saying you’re wrong. And I’m not answering for anybody… just stating what should be stated, and in the spirit of what I stated… peace out.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:31 am
@Kim.. How old are you? cause you are calling everyone children. Just cause someone’s statement disagree’s with your own, it doesn’t make them a child. Do you not think that you may be acting childish?
July 10th, 2010 at 11:33 am
Sorry…had to go do something real quick…catching up on thread now.
Yep, you got it Rosalie. Thought I already answered her (Kim) question.
There is no table. There are several questions in the tickertape to which we saw no evidence of in this first round.
Ex:Didn’t Bella break her arm?
Does that mean that there’s a Bella in a mystery scene with a cast on her arm?
Ex:Did anyone find Charlie yet?
So, where’s the mystery scene with Charlie?
We all could go on and on about the tickertape clues. Who knows, they may come into play the next round, but we won’t know until next week.
Oh well, I agree. It’s time to move on…AGAIN.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:42 am
if you’re gonna post quips like Right on, Sister. The treaty wouldn’t be on a damn table as WP said it was in one of the scenes. DUH!!!
then clearly, youall havent’t MOVED ON.
also, a treaty CAN be a physical item. google it, there are treaties that are written down all throughout history.in fact, how would one know what the terms of a particular ‘treaty’ were, if it wasn’t written down.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:45 am
even if u were to ‘think’ that wp may possibly, not actually, but just possibly, be telling the truth, techie, you wouldn’t have the guts to admit it. keeponfollowinthecrowd,dude. good for you.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:47 am
INSANITY!!! Are we really comparing a treaty between vampires and werewolves on a GAME to actual historical documents?
July 10th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Kim – Ref to 1033-34 what can I do?
Yes, I do know where the treaty is.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:52 am
@wicked urstupid,dude.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Yes, I do know where the treaty is
well, good for you. now, just because you’ve posted that, and I don’t know where the treaty is…does not mean that you’re not telling the truth, does it?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
@Kim…EXCUSE ME? I’M STUPID?!?
Have you read any of your posts lately???
EARTH…CALLING KIM
July 10th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Kim – Ref to 1033-34 what can I do?
you(etal) are the “smart” ones. youcanfigureitoutforyrself.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
yeah,you’re excused.yeah,you’re S.T.U.P.I.D
July 10th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Kim, we can’t move on because you simply will not give up the ship. WP came on here making specific claims, got everybody convinced that he had found something, that now noone believes. We’re entitled to think and say what we want. Just as you are.
Without proof of what he says he saw, we are going to continue to doubt it’s truth and legitimacy. Period, end of story!
As far as me not willing to admit if I’m wrong, please go back and read my 1005 post where I clearly stated that I would bow at WP’s feet if he can prove his claims for what he says happened in the first round.
The game is still up there for the UK at least. He said he found the special rock and was able to get into the Jacob’s house at least 2 to 3 times before. So we’re all thinking he should be able to do it again, right? RIGHT!
That said, we’re all just waiting for a legitimate screenshot of the house, the treaty, and the backpack. And then, we will all be believers.
And yes, treaties can be a physical, tangible item. In this story, however, it’s a only a pact between the Cullens and the Quiluetes…not something ever referenced on paper in the books or the movies. WP even admitted that he wasn’t a Twifan. A TwiHard would know what the treaty is. I seriously doubt that Volvo would make it a physical thing since it isn’t portrayed that way in the book/movie. Stephanie and Summit would be pissed not to mention the fans.
So, I believe that he was making it all up.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Listen, little one, You are just about the only one left on here fighting a losing battle. So I suggest You be a little more careful about your name calling. Who were you calling Children earlier?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
IF you think about it, The first round was hard but easy. Not a whole lot of people were able to even find the cullen house. However everyone was in a hurry to give the quickest route to whom ever would listen therefore getting more and more people into the final phase. And reducing your chance of winning. We are in the second phase now, which makes the least amount of forks 11 no matter what anyone says, thats all that matters!! We just have to do our best. Who ever wins, wins.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
group HUG????
July 10th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
I’ll admit Alice and WP18 had me going. Wishful thinking. I think the game is fun and Alice and WP18 presented it as a challenge for me, thus, more entertainment. I never thought my post would cause such chaos. I would of never said anything, but seriously Kim you are taking this way to personal.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
@kim -_- shut the fuck up quit being stupid once again THE PEOPLE WITH 11 WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN EMAILS
JESUS HOW RETARDED ARE YOU
that was one of youall’s pack yesterday that posted that crap.now, I didn’t start it, but I can finish it.
who was I calling Children earlier? you’re smart. continuetotalkamongstyourselvesandseeifyoucanfigureitout.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
It’s ok Rosalie, the rest of us knew what you meant.
Make her a dog food bowl and throw her a bone…
July 10th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
@peace keeper- it’s o.k., kim just proofed my point about her own childish behavior.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
I MUST be crazy. I see why wp hasn’t bothered any longer. You peopleareridiculous,this is a TOTAL waste of time. I’m out.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
You can’t see me dancing…you can’t see me dancking… nanny nanny boo boo

July 10th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Hey, Alice?
What’s up?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
oh look! Kim is back in Alice form!
July 10th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Woo Hoo!
July 10th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
@Techie- gotta run out for a while..watch my back?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Alice must’ve found her way back here from the Cullen’s house?
How ya’ been, Alice? Long time, no talk.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Got ya’ covered, Wicked.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Kim -I’m not trying to get anybody to believe me. Thats not why I posted it for all to see. My opinion from what knowledge base I have gained from playing and being a twi-hard is I think differently than what WP18, but I never bashed anybody or called people names.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I’ve been out for about an hour… seems @Kim has finally seen the light in what I said in 1031 and 1036… but seems I missed a good bashing before it finally happened.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
That was some party at the cullens house, drove the volvo, vantage and the ferrari, closest im ever gonna get to it i guess!
July 10th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
gosh, someone needs to build a bridge and get over it (and not thats NOT a ‘secret’ scene).
Best of luck to anyone who got less that 1111111 turns and volvo contacted!
Can we go back to brilliant dialogue… I was enjoying that!
July 10th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
It is not in my nature even though my FAKE name may say different, but I think somebody has a multiple personality disorder.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Along with OCD, too, apparently.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
and if I didn’t think ‘Kim’ was so young I would suggest blood pressure medicine.
July 10th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
or a psychiatrist
July 10th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
You have team Edward, team Jacob, no one supporting team Kim?
July 10th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
ahhhh, yeah, right…whatever you say PK…
July 10th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Techie-I just seen this “Make her a dog food bowl and throw her a bone…” You crack me up!
July 10th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
cyber bullying is not something to be proud of,
Also as your US, isn’t it one of the most known Constitutions, Freedom of speech, rings a bell to me about something
July 10th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
There is no cyberbullying. Everyone, including Kim, is speaking their own minds.
I have only pointed out what I believe are flaws in others’ logic, nothing more, nothing less.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
oh and ps @Rosalie, the only one wanting a dog bowl is you, your coming across as a complete b#tch, dont b#tches and eat out of dog bowls… last time i checked they did.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
so much for being that peace keeper :/
July 10th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
i am some one has to support Kim from reading all these personal digs, backed into a corner someone bites. Rosalie had it coming, i dont do cyber bullying, everyone is entitled to an opinion, some people take it to far, its a game thats all.
This is like a hunting game, your supposed to be hunting for a car, no some poor suckers blood!
July 10th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Don’t sweat it Rosalie. Just let it roll off your back.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Ok, so I’ve missed a day or two here…wth happened? I thought this was a site for discussion and theory as well as insight into the game! I know everyone wants to win but come on people! Geeze! Name calling and insults? WHAT HAPPENED?!
July 10th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Kim I mean Peace Keeper your crazy!
July 10th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
@peace keeper. I get your point and agree. But @kim didn’t exactly play nice either.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
We were talking about the table and Jacob’s house and how to get to it.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Ok….so back to the next round, given that people in the New Moon contest had to do some research about new moons. What do you think we need to know or should know about eclipses?
July 10th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Sorry to interrupt the heated debate….but I was wondering, if let’s say 3 people in the same household, entered the contest and made it to the final round. Wouldn’t one of them have the chance to see the final phase a couple times before having to actually submit an answer themselves?
July 10th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
@Molly, in theory… yes.
@Techie, I’m sure any knowledge could be to an advantage.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I know I should have never made those two (1076,1078) nasty comments. It is hard to resist when someone says “u KNOW what u can do.”
July 10th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Good discussion point, Molly.
Actually, the same person could’ve been invited to the final round multiple times so long as each 11 fork entry was done with a different email address. So, it’s quite possible, I believe, for someone to have been savvy enough to have thought to do that thus giving them a way to increase their odds at winning.
I’m guessing (hoping) that the final puzzle will be very challenging for those even with multiple chances at the final puzzle that playing it once will be enough.
I think it helps that there is only a 2 day window within which to play.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Since that is a possibility, perhaps they will randomly change the multiple choice questions or even randaomly start “finding the Cullen house” from various starting points. Sounds fun….can’t wait!
July 10th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Yeah, I don’t expect to win at all. I just want to play. I’m sure it will prove just how stupid I am.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Hey everyone,
Let’s keep it cool. It’s ok to disagree, but lets not let things get TOO heated. You’ve all been really good about helping one another and policing one another on here and we appreciate that. Whether or not the solutions that claim to be shorter than 11 are true or not, bottom line is so far most of the 11 fork people have made it.
If wolfpack, Alice or anyone else were lying they could do so and we would never know the truth. Furthermore even if they provided screenshots everyone would be skeptical and say the images were manipulated.
Whether they are right or not just be happy most of us 11 forks folks have made it to the next round (Sadly I haven’t gotten an email and I got it in 11.)
Also, based on the response to this post we are considering a forum on the site. lol 1000+ comments is just insane! You guys have been a blast though, If we launch the forum we’ll let you all know! Be sure to check out the rest of the site too. There is more here than just “Lost In Forks” info on her.
July 10th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
wow! this game is really starting to get to everyone! haha (: i must admit, from the start of this post it has been pretty hilarious seeing all these comments and now cyberfights between people (: its just a game everyone no need for name calling! dont take it all so personally. lol good luck to everyone in round 2! im really excited! (:
July 10th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Admin…not asking for specifics about your email, but who/what is your carrier? I have 2 friends that are gmail users and they also have bberrys. Their mail is usually dumped to their phones and they thought they were blocked out of the final round too. It wasn’t until they signed on to their gmail web accounts and found the invitation to the final round in their spam folder.
Just wondering if that’s what has happened to yours.
July 10th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I have no knowledge about eclipses, but I find it interesting about the sun setting or rising. A good directional tool.
July 10th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I don’t know squat about real eclipses…only the Eclipse.
July 10th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Hi Techie, the email address I used was a gmail account, but I made sure to check the spam filter. Nothing yet. : \
July 10th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I understand SM’s metaphor of Eclipse and I’ve tried to apply it to the strategy of the game, however, no luck.
July 10th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
You guys really got alot going on on here. =)
July 10th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
what has been going on since i’ve been gone?
July 10th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
@Techie.. thanks!! So, what did I miss?
July 10th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
yes someone please explain all of this to me
i dont feel like reading it all
plus i saw a rosalie poser up there ^ whats that about?
July 10th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
?
July 10th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Sorry. Had to hop out for a bit. Glad you’re back Edward we’ve missed you. Well, maybe Bella didn’t given your recent indiscretions.
Hopefully you’ve had time to catch up. Poor Rosalie was chastised. We need to cheer her up.
Oh and Admin the email should literally be in Spam folder. Look on the left for the “More” section. That will show more folders which is where the spam flagged stuff is. Hopefully, your letter is in there.
July 10th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
@Rosalie, I still love you.
July 10th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Wow I have been following this debate for quite a while! I can’t wait until round 2 starts and things really get heated!
July 10th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Bella, we’ve missed you too! <3
July 10th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
@Techie, your so sweet!
July 10th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
@Rosalie, whoa, what did we miss?
July 10th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
@Bella Elena Gilbert gave me crabs..
can i have you back?
July 10th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Let’s just clear the air here, NOBODY HAS BEEN TO MY HOUSE, I THINK I WOULD KNOW!!
July 10th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
@Edward, So now your ready to be a daddy? What about Tanya? What about our future grandchildren the wovamptrons, are you ready for all that?
July 10th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Wolfpack? is really You?
July 10th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
@Rosalie, WHAT ABOUT EMMET?
July 10th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
@Bella
yes im ready to step up and be a father
July 10th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Is it just me or does someone seem to be taking over profiles?
July 10th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
@Jacob http://i29.tinypic.com/a3zgb4.jpg
July 10th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
@Edward, I’m so glad to hear you feel that way! although it seems we may have a problem with Jacob now.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Wolfpeck?? I think we have a poser..
July 10th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
@wicked someone took over rosalie
anyone who says they are alice cullen took over alice
same with carlisle jasper and emmett
idk if anyones taken over esme i dont think bella or jacob got taken over

July 10th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
@Volleyball, Good Catch! Lol!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
@Bella i love you
July 10th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
@Edward, I believe your right, and I have a feeling, that it is the same pain in the rear that we have been dealing with for days.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
@Edward what the fuck dont take me over you piece of shit
July 10th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
@POSER, back off admit who the hell you are, or shut the fuck up!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
ugh wtf ok everyone stop taking over the cullens cuz you are just making this retarded
i wish we could have logins so people would stop fucking faking
July 10th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
@Kim, I knew it would be you. Childish little pranks! You don’t have any friends so you have to invent them.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
heres a list of everyone whos gotten taken over because i was all these people
kyle
edward
carlisle
jasper
rosalie
emmett
jacob (up until i left bella then another jacob came in then i let him)
i was only kyle until the whole esme rosalie talking thing began because i switched to rosalie
i was also NARRATOR
so all of you assholes stop using those
the only people who i dont know if they are faking is bella and jacob
i think its the same bella from before and the same jacob
July 10th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
@Edward, I’m still me!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
JACOB!!! Sam’s been looking for you.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
STOP TRYING TO BE ME POSER!!! tHE LAST post was not me. Kim GROW UP!
@Techie, HELP ME OUT HERE, Buddy.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
@Techie
idk what you are talking about?
July 10th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Post 1115 isn’t Techie…I did not post it.
Sorry slipped out for a bit again. I’m back…give me a few minutes to catch up on everything.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
ugh ok everyone im the original edward
have fun with your little fucking user stealing cuz im leaving this shit has gotten gay
July 10th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I do wish everyone well in the next round, but didn’t go so far as to say I’m sorry to Kim. Using the @ symbol isn’t my style, so nice try poser.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
@admin…I found my letter in spam. So check again!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
1155 not me either…same reason. I don’t use the @ symbol. I’ve always addressed you guys individually.
So this poser(s) do know that they can be traced by his/her email, right?
July 10th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
and 1165, what a little punk for posing as the one and only me.
WTF?????
July 10th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
and 1171, not me…beware folks…we got a little liar out here.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
@Wicked yeah but its fucking annoying when you pick someone and you are trying to have fun and then some random fuck comes in using the same name saying stupid shit and confusing everyone
idc if anyone poses as anyone else just dont fucking pose as edward
July 10th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Post 1169, isn’t me. It Is Kim, the only one on here I’ve had a problem with. BEWARE… She is taking over everyone because she has no friends and she wants to ruin this for every one.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
1173- NOT ME
July 10th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I’m stupid and I just want everyone to know that I’m stealing everyone’s comment name so I can really try to prove to them how smart I am. Guess it’s not really working.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Zinger!
July 10th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
And I want you all to know that I lied about everything before. I didn’t really see Jacobs house or the treaty or Bella’s backpack. You have to admit it; I had you all going for days and days. My bad.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Did not post 1181, Poser! Man Up
and stop being such a dick kim.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Nope 1171 not me, guys…sorry. I’m trying to think of a clever way to let you all know when I really post stuff up here. It sucks when someone has to ruin everything because they’re childish and juvenile.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
1184, not me again!
@Techie, anything stupid or vile is the poser, so why don’t we just ignore it and she will get bored.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
The fake posts are so easy to spot and aren’t even funny. Certainly not clever, that’s for damn sure.
They might borrow the name, but can’t duplicate the style.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
And wolfpack18 is my boyfriend so that’s why I got so mad at you guys before for picking on him.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
1189 not me. Who writes like that anyway…sure as hell not me.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I noticed back at 1133 that we had a poser, and that is when I was targeted.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
You clearly weren’t clever enough to convince everyone about your opinions under your own id so now you have to come out here and ruin it for everyone.
Such a crappy thing to do just ’cause you couldn’t win your own arguments.
Now all you’ve that you’ve likely done is chased everyone away and now this sight will die out.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
1183 is not fake thank you very much.
July 10th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
@Techie, Are we the only real people still on here, aside from the poser?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Sorry…1164, 1172, 1180, and 1188 are really mine.
I can always ask the Admin to go back and check the posting log to validate against all Techie posts and the email submitted with it.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Wow I fell asleep somebody summarize the last 100 comments
July 10th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
and yet it continues…1197 not me either.
Keep on goin’, I can refute all day long.
No, Wicked (if it’s really you). The poser is still afoot.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
I was on yesterday and spotted the “wolfpeck” lol. Haven’t said Much but I’ve been following along pretty good.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
1203-NOT ME
@Techie, yes 1198 was me, I was thinking of having admin. track the posers e-mail and block her.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Volleyball isn’t your brother. I’m a girl… and I don’t support Kim WP or Alice lol
July 10th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Omg this.is.really confusing…
July 10th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
woah…
July 10th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
1204- NOT ME AGAIN.
@VOLLEYBALL, I know, I’ve seen you on here.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
@ Martin S. Willson
2685 Metropolitan Ave, Atlanta GA- (404) XX8-XXX0
I will only tell you once. Stop inpersonating people or I will reveal the rest of your ‘details’
July 10th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I don’t know who volleyball is.
Beware fellow poster and/or newcomers to this site. Apparently someone (or numerous someones) did not like that some of us disputed their claims about what did or did not likely happen in the first phase. So, now they’ve taken it upon themselves to borrow everyone else’s post name.
Guess it’s fair game and I guess the poser(s) want us all to say that they’re cool, they’re smart, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Don’t hold your breath posers ’cause Techie won’t be saying anything of the sort.
Bottom line, I’d advise you all to go post your comments and thoughts on a different site so that the real posters can take care of this mess once and for all.
It’s been ruined now and no one can be trusted as to who they really are.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Lol so the poser is tryin to catch the poser… interesting
July 10th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
@admin.- It seems you have someone destroying your site, ruining this for everyone and being straight up vile to make everyone look bad. could you please track this person’s E-mail and block them?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
admin can you please track this person and stop them from imitating us
July 10th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
yeah this really isnt much fun anymore I can fight my own battles so stop trying to be everyone. I guess they are just giving everyone a taste of their own medicine.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Was 1214 and 1211 2 different techies?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
I haven’t been following this whole blog but I remember someone cheering on the ‘Verbal Raping’ of Wolfpack18, why would someone be so sick to he or she all because they said they found something that you didnt GROW UP EVERYONE!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
1215…not me…but just keep going if it makes you happy.
Your nonsense will catch up with you..go ahead and ask the admin to validate emails against original post names.
As I’ve said, you have ruined it for all.
Just because you didn’t win your argument. What a poor sport.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
1215 and 1212* sorry
July 10th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Once again, I’m not sure how much I’ve missed. Any viable clues about Tuesday? Any suggestions on where to start, as in do you think we need information about actual eclipses?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
1212 was me…that’s how I write. Anyone that knows the real me should know my writing style.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I think “verbal raping” is a bit of a stretch.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
Ya the real techie like writes In complete sentences. that how I know 1215 wasn’t you
July 10th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Okay…. I think ill comeback in a little while and see if this issue works itself out…
July 10th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Techie, forget that and focus! Any ideas on what may be needed for Tuesday?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Are you still around?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
No, volleyball. 1212 was not me, but 1219, and so is 1222. I’ll keep refuting the poser(s) as much as I can as often as I can even if it takes all night and all day. You’ve messed with the wrong Marine.
Anyone following my posts and my writing style know that I always try to use proper grammar which includes capitalizing the beginning of my posts and most certainly the sentences.
Andrea, I doubt that you will get any responses back to your posts about the game if in fact you are really you.
The reason, you ask? It’s because someone on this blog has decided to be cute and has hijacked posting names.
Geez, talk about identity theft.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Someone stated, way up there, that in New Moon you had to have some understanding of new moons…not just the book. So do you think again that they will want you to have some knowlege of an eclipse?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
ROTFLMAO…..Seriously! People! As hilarious as this has been. Can’t we all get real? Good Luck to all.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Techie, it is really me. lol Although I am sure that anyone could say that, I am not sure that anyone else would want to be me! lol I was just trying to get somethings accomplished on here even knowing that the chances of winning are slim I would like to be prepared.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Has anyone gotten any ideas of the questions asked in the New Moon game? Someone else had said that there were two winners and it was timed…Just wondering.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Ok, I’ve just refreshed and now I see that it continues yet some more.
1226 is absolutely not me. The strongest four letter word I’ve used on this site is damn, but never, ever have I used the f-bomb.
And yes, 1230 is me.
Focusing on next week is hard to do when you’ve got an infestation problem to worry about.
Ok, so let’s rewind. I’ll try to go back to the game…if I can and am not distracted by someone with a small mind.
If you look at what Brigette (hopefully I spelled it correctly…just don’t feel like going back a hundred posts to double check it) about playing the New Moon Volvo game. Sounds like they all went through the ringer to solve the puzzle. I mean come on, to have to look up crap on a Farmers Almanac about new moons…holy crap.
Not sure I’m ready for something like that if it’s going to be about eclipses and such.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
1231 and 1232 not me!!! Ugh wow I said I was getting off so they decided to be me!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
You think solar and lunar? I was guessing just lunar due to the picture on the book and the movie and game…wait, maybe just the game, I don’t believe there is an eclipse in the book, just a reference to one in theory.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
1234 isn’t me either, but nice try and surely not 1237. I know how to spell “Andrea”. And, I surely would never had capitalized Eclipses unless of course I was referring to the book. Yet, I wouldn’t have used an “s” at the end.
Now, if I wanted to talk about eclipses as I did in 1239 (which yes, is me) I would have kept it in lowercase format.
What an idiot/moron this poser is.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
While looking in Wikipedia, not my favorite site, but convenient, it lists the years for eclipses but I didn’t see any listed for this year and isn’t there supposed to be one in the southern hemisphere shortly? If its time, how are we to know where to look and be prepared…although I know that we aren’t supposed to, that’s how most people don’t win! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
@Andrea, I didn’t play the New Moon games, but I think it will be different. I think the 3 questions will be about the ‘clip’ they will show.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
@techie. Ya i agree. I wish admin would get on here so we can go back to talking about eclipse! It’s probably WP or kim trying to get back at the people who dissagreed with them.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Wicked, do you also believe that the clip will be the scene from the movie showing Jacob at the school following the FLA trip? I know someone posted that earlier, way earlier.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
1246…not me. Wow.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
@Andrea, I have no clue. I’m kinda at a disadvantage because I haven’t had the opportunity to see the movie yet.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Techie, its ok, seriously, I have read your posts enough to be able to discern your writing and thoughts. And Wicked, did you read the book? It was similar, the scene at the school, but I believe that Bella leaves with Jacob instead of going to class.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Is this the real wicked? we have no way to know but they haven’t been on in a while and just happened to be on when Andrea asked for them
July 10th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I was under the assumption that Wicked has been on off and on all day. I don’t know if she is real or not, I am not really as concerned about that, because I am trying to figure out what it will be like on Tuesday while my kids are in bed and I have a few spare minutes!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
So far it is the real me, but don’t know how long that will last.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Just checking..
July 10th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
1257- not me, told ya!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Wow this really does stink for those of us trying to talk about the game, the books and the movie. How long till admin takes care of the problem?!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
@techie the poser is getting smarter and starting to copy your style.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
@Andrea, hopefully real soon!
July 10th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Is there really a troll/poser or are you all just trying to make me think I am losing my mind?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Techie, thanks for your insight.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
No, there is a poser. I am with Techie, this is ridiculous.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Nice try fake Techie. 1242, 1250 and 1254 just aren’t me.
Just because you type more doesn’t make it clever enough to sound like me.
So…let’s put this to and end once and for all.
As the real Techie, I’m telling you that I will no longer post anything under Techie.
Oh, don’t you worry your pretty little heads about ’cause I’ll be out here trolling for crap and refuting bogus claims as much as I’m able.
I’ll just have to do it under a new name.
Any future use of Techie…well just don’t believe it. It’s not me.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
@techie the poser is gonna pretend to be you now cause you wont be here to prove them wrong lol. Ok i am gonna go now too for a bit so don’t believe what I say after this post for a while:)
July 10th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Well all I wanted to do was to chat about what possibly to expect. I like challenges but I hate surprises! lol I wanted to pick brains and gather a strategy…at least so I can finish the game and not become so frustrated that I just quit.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
LOL well who can tell me what’s real here and what’s not now??!! I thought it was bad enough with wp18 and alice and kim! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
@Andrea…I’ll bite…no pun intended. I’d be happy to talk game strategy with you.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Great so now I am the only one here? The one night my kids are asleep early and one is out of the house some jackass has to be online too?! Super.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
did you read the rules for the next level yet?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Thanks buttercup. I think. Did you play the first game?
July 10th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
No. I don’t think so. Where do I find them? I just know that I get one chance and that its timed. I also know that I need to get the questions all correct! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
yes, i did. mapped it all out too. did you play the other volvo games at all? don’t know if it will help having that experience or not.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
The Finalist who participates in the Final Phase and reaches the Cullen’s House again, views the presented scene and, after the “eclipse”, answers all three (3) questions about the scene correctly in the shortest amount of time will be deemed the Grand Prize winner, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. See below for additional details. The Contest Site’s (as defined below) database clock will be the Official Time Keeper for the Contest. This is all I could find…
July 10th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
@Techie, if your not gonna post as techie anymore, could you tell us if your a boy or girl so that I’ll know what to look for. I feel like I’m losing a friend.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
I attempted to map it out but that isn’t my way of things, it really confused me more. I haven’t played the other Volvo games. I didn’t even know about them. My sister in law got me hooked on the books about two months ago! I’ve read them several times now but I am still not so sure about the division between the books and movies as far as the game is concerned. Is it solely based upon the movies do you think?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
I do feel more secure “talking” to Techie…but I am willing to give pretty much anyone that isn’t an idiot a try!
July 10th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
i just reread the rules too and reaching the Cullen house again worries me. i can’t imagine that the fork scenes will have the same outcome. i would think it’d be left and right still.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I wonder if the forks will all lead to the same places, but be presented in a different order. Also, what do you think that it means by “after the ‘eclipse’” Might that be a “thinking” period?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
i’ve read all of the books and while the movies are fairly true to the books, i believe that this contest is tied to the movie
July 10th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
So you believe that by turning left at the stores/shops, you won’t end up at the house with Riley’s poster? Hmmmm….that’s going to be TERRIBLE!
July 10th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Just a thought about the Eclipse scene in Phase II, 7-11-2010 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE of Easter Island is happening for real. The Eclipse scene in Phase II would still have to be about the Movie Eclipse? What do you think?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
i’m thinking that after the eclipse the screen will be dark for a few minutes. maybe a volvo tactic to make it harder to remember things when you get to the questions???
July 10th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
the other thing i got thinking about is that in the first puzzle we were specifically told (in bold) that we start out in the center of forks. most of us, including me played the game as if it were linear. maybe that’s not right.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
@Techie, you still around? I don’t know if you really got off the page for a while or if you were really gonna change your name. What to do?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
i’m not sure what to expect about what fork will be first and whether or not the outcomes of the right or left will be the same.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Buttercup, what do you mean? I don’t remember that…
July 10th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
wicked, why the worry about techie. we’re just as good to talk to, don’t ya’ think?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Justme, there was also a partial lunar eclipse recently. How could this be incorporated into the second phase…There is also a full lunar eclipse scheduled or supposed to happen in December 2010….
July 10th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
at the visitor center, under how to play. in bold it says you start out in the center of forks and must get to the cullen house.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Buttercup, I LIKE Techie…so it would be nice to have his input. I believe he is an intellgent being…
July 10th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
i was thinking that this must be about solar eclipses, wasn’t jacob the sun for bella? lunar wouldn’t quite fit.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
@buttercup, of coarse I enjoy talking to you all. I just hope admin. clears this all up soon so that we can continue.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
don’t really know what to expect. so the 3 forks might relate to the 3 pieces in the final phase: 1)finding the cullen’s 2) watching a scene and 3) answering 3 questions
July 10th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
But buttercup they reference a lunar eclipse in the book I think…In a monologue by Bella
July 10th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
And why would the second phase be all about Jacob? I would think it would be more about Bella…
July 10th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
1304, 1305, 1307- not me. So I misspelled a word sue me POSER!
July 10th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
i’m not saying that it’s about jacob. i was just thinking that the eclipse is a literal reference to jacob, bella, and edward. one object getting in the way of another. the puzzle may have nothing to do with eclipses at all.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Oh, I see now, how you’re viewing the eclipse thing…that’s good…that is good. Julie, where did you come from? And just ignore the poser/troll because we ARE discussing the game here…
July 10th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
hmmmm lunar eclipse in a monologue. guess i’d better go back and reread the book.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
I HATE THIS!! Why should everyone suffer because someone had a bad day? Some people are so selfish it makes me sick!
Edward is already gone and now techie and who else because of this jerk?
oh well, just had to vent. I’m out, so if anyone tries to assume my name now you will all know it is the poser.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
wiki says:
A lunar eclipse can only occur at full moon and a solar eclipse can only occur at new moon. In a lunar eclipse, the total phase can last for a maximum of 1 hour and 40 minutes. The maximum time of a solar eclipse is 7 minutes 40 seconds. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
A solar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Earth is cast on the Moon.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
so might the eclipse be an automatic 7 mins and 40 secs? that’s a long time to watch from watching a scene to being able to answer questions about it. assuming that the questions are about the scene.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
hello jacob
July 10th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Perhaps its in the movie, buttercup, but I thought it was in the book intitally…I will look quickly. I looked up wikipedia too.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
hey bella
July 10th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
do you guys want to talk strategy about the next round?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
you can call me bc, it’s easier to type
July 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
@julie, get your facts straight, I have never VERBALLY RAPED anyone.
@volleyball, 1302 & 1309 was the real me. I am not the poser! That is if this is the real volleyball.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
i have an idea…so that we can talk about the game, why doesn’t everyone do what techie did and stop posting altogether or post under a new name. ignore all else unless it’s about phase 2
July 10th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
doesn’t anyone want to talk about the next phase?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
@ wicked that last post wasn’t me. i wasn’t gonna say anything since no one responded to to post but I thought is let you know. I have just been idly watching the conversation.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
where’d everybody go?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
if you’re the real volleyball and the real wicked, get new names. eventually the poser will quit. your names don’t define you. just use a new name and post….please post…it’s getting awfully quiet out here.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
i’m getting a complex.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
so i got it n 11 and everyone says they got 2 the next phase with that # and that the email is n the spam folder. i have a gmail account so there is no spam folder. does anyone else have this problem?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Just verified that someone has in fact posted as multiple personalities throughout the day… Commenters Techie, Wicked, volleyball, julie, wolfpack18, SPOTTHEFAKE, Bella, Jacob,Frank, Jasper, Kim, Kyle, Wolfpeck18, and Rosalie have all at one point or another been the same person. I’m still investigating and tracking a little further to see if any other past comments were also forged as other users. I’ll keep you all up to date.
July 10th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
bc, i do want to talk about the next phase! sorry my husband called! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
game talk anyone?
July 10th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
husband calls are important. lol
July 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
sorry! he is on his way home and wanted to tell me about his day! lol so let’s talk strategy!
LOL and I can say I am proud that I was NONE of those people today but sad that no one wants to be me! LOL
July 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
i wouldn’t believe any posts under old posting names. just read what admin said post 1334
July 10th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
I leave for a day and this posting goes biserk!! Lets all calm down and talk about how great it would be to win a Volvo!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
lol I have only one name. I am not that creative to make new ones…
July 10th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
ok..back to game strategy.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Volvo has been my favorite since I was in high school! lol I wish I could just purchase one and not worry about phase 2! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
FYI – imposter has been blocked. I’ll be monitoring this and investigating further to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Ok…so we think that the forks will have different outcomes, that they will start at a different point and that they may not have you begin in the middle?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
admin…can the poser not pose as you? lol I know very little about this kinda thing.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
how do we know admin is really admin?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Thanks admin!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
If we don’t start in the middle of the fork, how would that work, and what would that mean?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
ahh andrea, great minds think alike…too funny
July 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
people don’t believe everything you see. as recommended use new posting names if you must post
July 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Oh dang…. you right BC. How do we know?..
July 10th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
not following you andrea on the middle of the fork post. please elaborate
July 10th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Who knows! lol I wonder what kind of person has that kind of time…and why? Maybe I just don’t think that way since I’ve gotten older!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
The 2nd phase is about speed, I don’t think they are going to change the forks route. I think it’s going to be about the scene, Eclipse and questions.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
If that was really admin, it’s hard to trust now.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
volleyball, how do we know what? who’s whom? doesn’t matter, does it. just pick something new if you want to post and stick with it until it gets taken, then just use something new again.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Didn’t you post bc that the original rules stated about starting in the middle of the road?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
Justme, so you think that the route will be the same? The same 11 forks just made now with speed?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
trust no one. post about the game and then fake posts will go away. i hope.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
I don’t think the questions can be puzzles, can they? The rules do say 3 questions.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Techie, are you still here? Do you know or have you heard what format the questions will take?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
not middle of the road, but middle of the town itself. meaning that all roads branched out from the center, like a spider web rather than a tree branch. does that make sense?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
buttercup, you were the original Techie correct? Anyways, take a look at the original post. I have posted an update to the post about the commenter. This should be enough to solidfy that I am in fact the admin.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
No, I don’t. I am a little dense about things like that. I don’t do visualizations…I pictured it like a, ah hell, I don’t know how I pictured it…I just tried to memorize the forks! lol Can you try again to explain it to me?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I think the questions have to be multiple choice. It’s the only real way a computer progam can determine if the answer is correct. Breaking down a STRING isn’t that easy to program.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
i doubt anyone knows the format of the questions except for the people that wrote the game. they could be questions about the scene presented, why a particular route to the cullens was taken (aka proving your logic so that you can’t cheat), about the movie, the commercial. the list can go on and on.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
admin, wth is an update to the post about the commenter? lol I will trust you with that comment! Thank you!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
@admin..just to verify could you please tell me if or who else I may have posted as?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
BC!! The commercial?? What commercial?? I don’t watch those! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
LOL Sorry Andrea. If you scroll up to the original information that we posted on the site and look at the bottom it says UPDATE: you’ll notice I added some information about the imposter there so that everyone visiting the site knows that we are aware of the problem and are working to fix it.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I agree with a form of multiple choise…or a likert scale, if I spelled that right!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
This is the 1st game of this type I’ve played, if you chart it out, the flow of all the forks. It became clear what the route was. Everyone says it has to be difficult, maybe they’ll change it up. Maybe they want it to get to the dreaded ESSAY!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
andrea, ok. if you start with the eclipse and go left or right. each subsequent choice leads to a new left or right, right? well that would be a branch.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
ahh yes, admin…you are really you. hurray!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
or i guess it’s really hooray!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Aw, my daughter is on her way home now! I feel like I wasted all my time trying to figure out who was who! Damn! I hope that you’re all around again before then. I enjoyed this, even if it is all presumptions! Thank you bc/Techie lol If anyone has any great ideas or wants to roll some ideas around, my made up email, for this site only, is edwardcullenmakesmesweat@yahoo.com
July 10th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Have a great night all! I hope to talk with you again soon!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
ok, now, andrea to visualize a web rather than a tree and if you started out from the center of town rather than from the edge as it seems when you started the first phase.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Wicked, you also posted as Bella, Jacob, Jack and NARRATOR. Though I must say your multiple personalities concerns me after this huge fiasco we just had. You’re definitely on my radar now.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Likert scale… looked it up. I still have to go with multiple choice. Easier to program, check for correctness. But then again once you answer the questions the next step is SUBMIT. Right? So it could be something other that multiple choice?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
love the email name andrea. guess we’ll see more of you later, i hope.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
If anyone needs any further proof that we are aware of the commenting issues and that I am in fact the admin I have also made reference to this on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/wheresedward Sorry again for the mixups everyone!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
so is it just admin, Justme, and me on the site still?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
@admin- that is fine, I’ve only posted for fun, nothing malicious. Otherwise I wouldn’t have asked to be looked into.
Anyway, thank you for taking care of this problem. It has been very exhausting trying to keep track of the poser.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
I am here
July 10th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
So is bc techie? Just to be clear for reference to old posts and stuff.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
I can’t wait for the 2nd phase it should be great!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I jisI just read the admin update. It would be awesome if you launched a forum!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
No one else is commenting. I think I’ll just go away for awhile.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Yes, one and the same.
I’m sad to say that I’m guilty too of posting as Kim twice – 1179 and 1190 and once as WP18 – 1182 only after I found that I had gone out to get a bite to eat and had been violated about a dozen times or so.
Still, it didn’t make it right for me to do the same to someone else, but definitely wasn’t done out of maliciousness. Clearly someone wanted to get back at all of us.
Just wondering why? Because we didn’t agree with them? That’s just dumb.
Anyway, I felt it best to just switch to let it die down and let the admin sort stuff out. I’m hoping that the first real hijacking that started all of this nonsense was by one and only one person and that they have been blocked or at least have been threatened to be blocked if they start this up again.
Admin knows exactly who I am.
I’m here to help anyone that wants to continue with another round of what we did yesterday (which was fun, btw) or to strategize about the game.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I miss my online friends too.
Come out, come out, wherever you are!!!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Justme, yes multiple choice is easier to code for and from a logistical standpoint having short answer responses to the questions would take forever to “grade” so to speak not to mention taking up gobs of database space.
I agree that it has to be multiple choice. Doesn’t mean that they’ll be easy.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Good to see you (and know it is you) Techie! Sooooo glad admin finally stepped in. I am literally worn out from all this BS. Have a headache also.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I’m back. What is bueller?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
I know…like I said, I stepped out for dinner…maybe I was gone for an hour and “BAM” I see all this crap under my name and not so nice stuff at that.
It just shows that when people are desperate that they will resort to just about anything.
It’s sad, really. I’m just wondering if it was Kim or a Kim supporter. I personally don’t think that we did anything to cause anyone to resort to that type of antics, but clearly that’s how they felt.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off..just a quote from the movie. Just trying to evoke a response from whomever’s watching/listening.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
Hi I’ve been reading everything, except when it got a little crazy up there.. I skipped that. I had also been posting as Esme if anyone was wondering who that was!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Well hello Christina. Were you the only Esme that posted on here?
July 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Lol that movie came to mind but I wasn’t quite sure what you were talking about.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
It doesn’t really matter, I was just curious is all.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
I would guess it was Kim, she was taking everything way to personal. She may also have been Wolfpack18, she showed up around the time he disappeared.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
My phone is gonna die. I’ll be back later!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
@Christina, sorry I would have responded but at that point it was too difficult to know who was who.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Good theory.
Oh well, I’m sorry for all of the havoc wreaked for the Admin(s). Look like they’re deleting off all of the impostered posts.
Maybe now we can back to the normal stuff and all of our old friends will find their way home. ;o)
July 10th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
@Techie, I’m not sure! I didn’t read all of it, but I posted as Esme yesterday and then once about an hour ago or so! I wasn’t offended by anything so no need to apologize!
July 10th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
What’s really messed up is that anyone that hasn’t been on here since 4:30 or so is going to be totally lost or at least confused somewhat.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Yeah, I am slightly confused and I was gone all day. I really enjoyed this comment section yesterday though, lol!
It was a lot of fun, and very humorous!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
@techie, well if christina was Esme and was Bella, were you Edward or anyone else?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Bueller? I thought you might be making reference to boolean.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
It’s funny. I stumbled on this site just a few days before the game was due to end mostly to find out if 11 forks was what everyone else was getting.
I spent a little bit of time, not much, in trying to debunk any special paths that others alleged that they had found. I wasn’t buying it, thank goodness because there must’ve not have really been any.
Who knows with this next round what will be out there. I doubt Volvo has any idea of how crazy people are getting with this game (and probably the ones prior). For me, yeah a new Volvo would be cool, but at this point it’s really about the sport of the contest. As I’ve said before, I really doubt if I’m sharp enough to solve the puzzle the fastest.
I’ve just been having fun with all ya’all.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I was never Bella!
I was only Esme and Christina!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Oh, I meant to put an I in there. I was Bella.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Wait, Christina was also Bella? I missed that.
And no, I’ve just been me except for the posts that really weren’t me which will hopefully be deleted soon and the 3 to which I ‘fessed up to.
Oh and of course I was buttercup. Tried to think of something so totally opposite of Techie and buttercup was the first thing that came to mind. Guess I could’ve been a Cupcake or something. lol
July 10th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
ahhh…so there you go. Thx, Christina…got it…you were never Bella.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Wicked were you always Bella other than what may have been posted as you during the hijacking incident?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
well folks, I have been absent for quite sometime now….like since the first couple hundred comments. I have just stuck to reading instead of posting anything. But I just simply cannot seem to stay silent any longer. I love this!!! All of you guys/girls are great!!! This can be very hilarious at times! Let’s keep it all going! Oh, and just to keep us thinking about the final phase, if anyone has any ideas on any of it, just post it and we can decipher it together. I’m actually starting to get a little nervous (i guess just because of the unknown)..
July 10th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Well, from yesterday forward. If anyone posted as Bella prior than yesterday it wasn’t me.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
No, Kim is NOT me! and neither is Alice. After everyone started the name calling and just being very rude and sick I left. But, I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy it (just a little bit) because it really wasn’t fair to treat me that way. I was only trying to show you what I found. I may have alluded toward the fact that I submitted 9 forks, but I really never got to submit. As I said before, it was really hard to find the spot, and just like all the other forks, if you chose the wrong way it took you back near the beginning, so I did spend hours trying to find it again up to 3 times I believe.
Good luck in phase 2 and may the best person win. I really don’t look forward to winning either, as I have said before, I just like the puzzle aspect of it, I really COULDN’T use the car anyway, and certainlly can’t pay the taxes on it.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
So you were the Bella with all of the troubles with Edward, correct?
I hope so, you were funny.
So where are Edward and Jacob?
Amanda, are you really Amanda?….just kidding!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
@amanda, I’m nervous too! I don’t even know if I could afford the taxes on the car if I did win it though… Lol.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Yes, that was me. I had fun being Bella. I snuck in several times today as Bella to try to Elude the poser.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Wolfie! You’re back!
Honestly, no one meant to hurt your feelings, really. We all just got caught up in the debate.
I still have a hard time believing what you saw because like most doubting Thomas’ we have to see it for ourselves. So, do you care to share what rock or at least a close approximation as to where the rock was? We can all still try to prove what you found on the UK site.
If you don’t want to share anymore, that’s fine. Just glad you came back.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
@buttercup/Techie HAHA..Yes I’m really amanda. I think with all of this roleplay, I would get too confused if i tried to be anyone else..
@Christina, I understand..lol I got to thinking about the taxes on that car earlier, and it has got to be rediculous!!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Did any of you follow what I was saying to Andrea? Did you guys notice that the rules stated that you were starting from the center of Forks? So, with that in mind what if we were to take a post-it for example and position it on a table in reference to it’s what is to the right or left of it.
My old map started from the left with the Eclipse being the first stop and then everything branched to the right.
I’m starting to think that that approach was all wrong.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Not for what we did in the 1st phase, but what we’re going to need for reference’s sake for the final phase.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
“A solar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth” re buttercup #1317 per wiki.
The Shadow of the Moon will directly cross the EASTER Islands…. EASTER ?? As in Easter Eggs. I’m probably reaching.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
And, Wolfie, just for the record. You could always donate the car to a non-profit or something. Don’t know if that will get you around the tax issue or not.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
@wolfpack, I’m glad your back as well. Even if I didn’t see eye to eye with you, I’ve stated several times that I respected you for standing by your claims. I have missed debating with you. It kept things interesting.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Justme, you’ve lost me on the reference to the Easter Islands. Can you explain a little more about where that’s coming from? I get that you’re trying to make the connection to the Easter Eggs, but what’s an eclipse got to do with the Easter Islands?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I am gonna just leave it at the posts I have already made in the past. If someone really wants to try and find it, I gave them MORE than enough of info to do so. Also without starting it all again, I will say that when this is all over we will find out what the absoulte shortest route was. Just because thousands of people found the 11 and no-one submitted the lesser one(s) that does not mean it doesn’t exist, just that it wasn’t submitted. So, after all the games in every country still playing is over, we will know for sure.
@Techie, yeah it is easy to get caught up into any debate, we just have to step back at one point and say, “Whatever, if they are right they are right, if not, then they were just lying, possibly because of the nature of the game”?
And, just like this game and movie and life we all have a choice, either believe or not it’s as simple as that. If you choose to believe, then you have to be prepared and determined to solve that problem, if you choose to not believe, then you just have to let it go, and move on.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
ahhh, nevermind. Google is my real bestfriend. There’s going to be one on 7/11.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
http://www.calendars-updates.com/info/eclipse.aspx
nice explanation re: eclipses
July 10th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
that’s what I did say #1288.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Ok I’m back. How are the Easter islands related???
July 10th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
I don’t have alot to say about the next phase because I really don’t know what to expect. I’m afraid to focus on a specific aspect and turn out to be completely wrong and not know what to do when the time comes.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Sorry, I remembered seeing that now. That’s when all of the other crap was going on so I guess I missed it.
Good thought about the next eclipse and it being for Easter Island.
The game is global and the UK game doesn’t end until August so that would make the 7/11 eclipse kind of irrelevant. Don’t know, but I like how you’re thinking. Sorry I missed it the first time.
Speaking of the UK game, I was wondering if you all thought that it seems to be going on a lot longer than the US game…or is it just me? Wonder why that is?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I wonder what happened with the real Edward and Jacob and Rosalie too?
Maybe they’ll all come back to play tomorrow.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
YAY!!! I sense a little bit of peace here!! At last.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Is the UK game the same as the US? Or are the separate both having one winner of a Volvo?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I hope everyone does. So, are you gonna go with buttercup, techie or both now?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
It would be so much more of a relief if everyone had their own winner. Not that I am going to win anyways..But doesn’t it make the odds sound better??
July 10th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Oh yeah, I was also Jacob for a little while yesterday. not during the roleplay thing but after. ya know, the whole wolfpire,army building, wovamptron thing.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Could the “scene” be a collage of all the Easter eggs. The questions based about the easter eggs?
I don’t really expect an answer… this is just a place where I type my thought and TRY to think out of the box.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
UK games looks and feels the same to me (+/- a few British words). Same way to get to the Cullens, same sounds, same pix.
I don’t know…which do you guys like…the combo bc/Techie, bc by itself, or do you think it’s safe to go completely back to Techie?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I vote Techie!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I like Techie, but that is just what I’m used to.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
You guys had already started the whole role-playing thing…Bella, Jacob,and Edward. I was just fortunate enough to have gotten to interject with the whole Renesmee biting Jacob and turning him into a wolfpire thing. Now that whole part was fun. Bella needing a lawyer and everything. I really do hope that our buddies come back soon.
Talking about the next level of the game and poking fun at each other was a good thing.
You guys had me chuckling at a lot of stuff.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
I’m not completely sure if if is safe..but then again, really none of it is 100%..someone could always pose if they wanted to..That is another reason i tried not to get too involved earlier. If i wasn’t commenting, then nobody was posing as me…it’s all up to you, and we can just try to keep the posers at a distance.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
I like techie!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
I was even laughing at my own jokes.
And earlier today was fun until a couple of killjoys popped on to rain on our Lost in Forks parade…stupid killjoys.
Then, the whole hijacking thing was absolutely crazy. I’m sure the folks that created this had no idea what wackos there are out there…hee hee…guess I’m one of them.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Lol that sounded a little weird.. I meant I think you should go with the name techie:)
July 10th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Ok, I guess Techie it is…until someone takes it again. Let’s just hope they don’t think about doing that or taking buttercup ’cause then I’ll have to think of yet another name which will confuse the hell out of everyone including me.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Oh, and by the way, I do prefer techie!! I liked (as well as still like) it. I also hope that all of the buddies come back! That was great! I may even try to join in..unless I get told i’m too nerdy?! LOL
July 10th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Hopefully that’s all over. I’m sure admin will keep watch. They were fairly quick to respond to our cry for help! I really wasn’t expecting it untill tomorrow at least. Thank God I was wrong.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
I like you to volleyball, but I was thinking that you should change your name to Wilson. Get it?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Techie are you male or female?
July 10th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Haha thanks! And ya I get it. I was about to change to soccer earlier but then admin finally stepped in.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
HAHA Wilson!! Well atleast we will know how to identify the poser Techie from the real one!! The one with a sense of humor is real!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
I thought male, but after “buttercup” gotta be female! lol
July 10th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
awwww…nobody likes me..
just kidding
July 10th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
There’s no such thing as too nerdy. I should know…lol.
Yeah, it was hard watching someone pose as you and not try to do anything about it.
Admin was definitely the superhero this evening. I forgot to ask him/her whether they found their invitation to the final part of the game next week. I swear that it’s in the More section of your gmail (viewed via the web). There is a spam folder in there and the letter just has to be there.
Would be a shame if they didn’t get it.
Afterall, none of us would have been able to have been using this site as a quasi-forum if it hadn’t been for Mike writing this article about the game. Things took off after that.
Guess we do have Alice to thank too and WP18 for all of their posts. If they hadn’t posted, then none of us would’ve either and this would’ve died out over a week ago.
Not sure how we’d make this work as a regular ongoing forum. It was kind of like a perfect storm phenomenon…the contest, players posting their findings, and more players posting their comments about the findings. Without all 3 forks, ha ha, couldn’t resist..we wouldn’t have what we have.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Lol @ Wicked, yeah I’ve been trying to figure it out. Its hard when they’re not using a gender exclusive name! Wicked are you M or F?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
you people are too crazy.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
I most definitely have a sense of humor…always have.
Can’t tell you my gender…that wouldn’t be any fun. Just think of me as androgynous Techie.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
I told you guys with buttercup I was going for as much of an opposite from Techie as I could get.
Maybe I will reveal next week…maybe.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
I just enjoy talking to you all..well not exactly talking, but ya’ll understand. It is very interesting..just weird to think that we really do not know each other at all..strange even. oh well, It has in some ways been helpful, and in others, very good entertainment!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Embry, someone new to play with…are you totally new or have you been lurking in the background waiting for the weirdos to go away?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Hey Embry!! Welcome to our house of insanity! Wait, are you new? lol.
@Christina, I don’t think Techie wants to answer that question. I asked earlier to no avail.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Wait, what? We don’t really know each other?
I thought we were going to be able to plan a whole annual reunion or something. You know we’ll have to do this again when the next contest comes about.
Volvo will surely do this again for Breaking Dawn. I sure hope so.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
And gosh Techie..you and that sense of humor!! Even that androgynous comment made me laugh.. then again, maybe it is just because i apparently don’t have enough laughter in life, and it took you to make me realize that.. Thanks if that is the case!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Nope, not gonna’ tell you if I’m a M or F.
Keeping you guys guessing and theorizing is much more entertaining. Just curious. How many vote male and how many say female?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
@Techie, you’ve gotta tell us though. I can’t live in suspense forever! I WILL DIE!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
is everyone done pretending to be my now :/
July 10th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Lol ok let’s take bets ok techies gender… I’m gonna say girl… lol sorry if I’m wrong:)
July 10th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
That’s the whole point of life…is to laugh right?
Ok, I probably shouldn’t post this and admin, I’m apologizing ahead of time so don’t bust me too hard, but I gotta say this. It’s been brewing all day/night long.
This is what I was going to post if a certain someone continued to lobby for a certain someone else….those of you that have been playing along know exactly who/what I’m talking about.
How does the brain cell of “he or she that shall remain nameless” die?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Alone.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Well yeah, I guess that is right Techie. Annual reunion. It sounds exciting!! Maybe, just maybe, the Breaking Dawn contest will bring us all back together. Minus the posers, of course. I sure hope so… And hey Embry!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Wilson, that hurt!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Damn, Techie, we think alike. I was just going to mention a vote myself!
As Techie- I say male
But with Buttercup- gotta go with female!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Yay!!! Edward is back….woohoo!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
@techie1473- hopefully this sitw will open a forum like mentioned in the update. That would he awesome.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
im new. i have been reading here everyday for the past few days listening to all the game tips and what to expect for round 2. now im just listening to everyone argue. it was funny at first but some of you guys hold grudges for way too long. let go and lighten up. it is all fun.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Edward, Wicked (aka Bella), still missing Rosalie and Jacob.
The gangs almost all here.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Wilson, you said you had to charge your phone…you texting from an iphone, bberry, or what?
Tried going mobile while I was out, but page took too long to refresh. Now, in light of the hijacking that occurred during my absence I wish I would have.
You having any trouble with the site on your phone?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
aww sorry tech! Lol but don’t try to trick me! I’m sticking with girl! Lol I know who “shant be named” is. Nice:)
July 10th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Is Esme still around?
Oh, and we need Jasper, he was hillarious!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
I am on a droid incredible. It works great! I love it.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
what’d i miss?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Forgot about Jazz.
Yeah, sorry for the reference to Voldemort, but Edward will understand. He was in both movies afterall.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
hmmm..I was thinking male, then buttercup got thrown into the equation..now im not so sure.. very confusing..I am going to vote on a female!!
and oops if i’m wrong.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Volleyball? Techie? you guys got something going on?
BAW-CHICKA-WOW-WOW!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Rosalie, is it really you. Where’d you go?
Wilson, a droid you say. Now that’s an androgynous phone isn’t. Neither male or female. Hmmm…so if hijacking occurs, I’m telling you all now that I’m claiming droid as my new name.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
lol, Wicked little Bella.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Ya Amanda! So that’s 2 for girl? I think wick was the only vote for male.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
Speaking of that Harry Potter…It was on television earlier!!
just thought that was ironic. And good one of the ummm ‘nameless’ person joke!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
There was like 6 diff people named Rosalie. Which one are you referring to?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
WICK! Watch your mouth!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Christina-Edward-Rosalie, what is your vote?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
So fess up guys? How many hours did you spend looking for a different route even after you submitted the 11 forks route?
Clearly I have no life…can’t even function at work thinking about what you all might have been saying or not…not even worried about the dumb game at times. Just you guys.
Weird, but true.
Next week I’ll be an absolute mess…trying to keep up with stuff on here AND play the game too. Work is totally out of the question.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
@Edward
I’m very disappointed in the way you have been acting lately
July 10th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
two it is..unless someone would like to change their mind? lol
July 10th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
I vote male. Does mine count?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Wait, no, now I think it’s a girl.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Awe-Shucks volleyball, I SORRY! lol!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Male??
And techie is just a tad bit obsessed with this chat.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
hmmm so you got dibbs on droid. Ok I shall be called incredible in the case of a hijacking!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
So Bella, remember I told you to hit the bar (minus the Alice access from the chimney)?
Did you guys ever hook up? Is he your new Sugar Daddy?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
@Carlisle
i apologize
July 10th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
But of course I am, I told you I’m obsessed with you guys.
It’s fun. And I love fun.
But, if you’d rather, I can go play somewhere else (he/she says feeling like a kicked dog).
July 10th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
I’m not even going to lie…I looked and looked…and looked some more for a (hmmm, how should i say this?) black hole to help me get to the Cullen’s quicker..but then I gave up and decided that the quickest was to get there was with Edward himself!! Unless any of the other cullens would take me??
July 10th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
I forgive you wick:)
ok everyone I have confession to make…promise not to hate me ok…… I spent about 5 minutes on the site then looked up the answer for the 11 route..
July 10th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Doesn’t matter to me, Wilson.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Edward wants me back now! At least, I think that was the real Edward?!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
NOOOO!! Stay obsessed!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Wilson, ha. Love it.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Oh yeah Rosalie, you were temporarily absent when Wilson was thought of..it is quite clever isn’t it?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I knew you two had something going on! Techie even has a pet name for volleyball! How Sweet!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
But you’re my Bella, right?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
It was just one of Techie’s funny’s!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Veryyy clever.
Is wicked jealous of techie and volleyball’s relationship?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Edward is being awfully quiet, isn’t he?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
ALWAYS TECHIE!! (Swoon)
July 10th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Wait, if it’s your Bella, does that mean that I should change my vote to male??
July 10th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Lips are sealed.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Wick!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I haven’t decided on that one, Rosalie..could be.. Wicked, are you?? jk..unless you really are? then really, are you?? haha. And why won’t Edward chime back in because i have something for him to say about that whole ‘my bella’ thing.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
I guess the post about Wilson being someone’s brother was poser crap, right?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Tech! Are you cheating on me with wick aka bella!? I’m heart broken!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
@Rosalie, VERY!!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
hmmm..again Techie with the gender confusion….I’m really curious now..grr
July 10th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Ya that was a poser pretending to be wick saying I was their brother.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Well I do have appearances to keep up so I have to make both of my genders happy, correct?
From what I gather, Wilson, you are the only male out here. And, well Bella and I’ve been together for awhile.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
LMAO! Sorry you had to find out this way volleyball.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
We should be talking about the game next week. Suggestions for any last minute cramming?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
OH NO!!! It’s our own little Bella/Edward/Jacob triangle..Except it’s Wicked (AKA Bella)/Techie (AKA androgynous)/and Wilson (who could be someones brother)…What to do, what to do??!!
July 10th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
So what the hell kind of offspring will that produce? Certainly nothing as cool as a 1/4 Chuck Norris transformer, vampire, human, wolf baby.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
What happened to Christina?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Could all of those little clues be of use in the final phase?? Like the volturi necklace,the piece of red fabric, etc… they really weren’t anything important in the first phase, could they claim importance in the 2nd phase??
July 10th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Don’t know. Guess Embry is still watching/reading too.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I’m not sure that it would exactly come up with an offspring..just provide fun for a while..just kidding
July 10th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
@Techie, too tired to be trying to use any brain power now. it is 2:00 a.m. here.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Maybe they actually had work.. haha. sorry i couldn’t resist. Don’t take that personal you guys..I just thought it funny for a moment.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
The eyes in the trees, etc., etc.
I don’t know to expect about the game. I’m sure it’s going to be difficult so that there should be just one clear winner.
I might hit the start button on Tuesday night and find that I haven’t got a clue about how to solve it.
I wish that I had known about the other contests so that I could’ve played them too and had some point of reference.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
It’s EST for me too.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Ok sorry I was brushing my teeth so im a bit behing…first of all… im a girl tech… lol
July 10th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Guess we could all get rested up and check back again tomorrow.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Awww, and Wilson fit so well. Now that I know you’re a girl it doesn’t suit you.
Guess we should go back to calling you volleball, huh?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
I just am a little crazy right now…I can’t seem to go to sleep..going on like 46 hours and I’m reading old old posts and some of the things that people said in the past few days was insane.. thank goodness that it isn’t hectic on here right now
July 10th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
So, any gender revelations before bedtime?
July 10th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
yeah, now I know it’s late. I can’t spell. volleyball, not volleball.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
It’s 2:00 for you wick? Lol It’s 11 where I’m at
July 10th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Well, I’m gonna hit the sack guys/gals. I’ll catch you all on the flip side. Don’t let anyone tell you that they’re me.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Lol I don’t care Wilson or volleyball works.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
well, since volleyball has concurred that She is infact a female, does that change the triangle between you two and wicked?? that could change things drastically
July 10th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Okie dokie!! Talk to ya later..And it is 1 a.m where i am at..just saying
July 10th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Yes it is late here, Uhhh. Intended on going to bed awhile ago, but it was so nice chatting without the poser, I lost track of time. Nighty-nite guys!
July 10th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Sorry, one last post…and yes, it’s me…lol.
We should really try to talk more tomorrow about next week’s game. We’ll have to reread the rules and figure stuff out together.
I’m sure more folks will be back on again in the morning and are looking to collaborate.
July 10th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Haha ya it would Amanda. Except for I have no idea who is male if female lol. Guess its bedtime:) night night.

Hey everyone, great news, the Where Is Edward Cullen forums have launched! I even created a nice little thread for all of you to continue your discussions. If you’re still around I hope you will all join us as some of the first members of our newly developed community! This should also help cut down on any confusion about who’s who! http://www.whereisedwardcullen.com/forum/index.php?topic=2
July 10th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Uh oh, I’m lost in forks…
July 11th, 2010 at 12:02 am
I honestly can’t believe I’m still up.. well whoever wakes up in the morning to read this..goodmorning! Yay forum!
July 11th, 2010 at 12:13 am
In addition to launching the forums I have since cleaned up all of the impostor comments. If for some reason you feel I removed any comments by mistake please contact me through our contact form and I will review further.
July 11th, 2010 at 12:18 am
AHHHH!! YIPPEE forum!! I cannot sleep..so, like volleyball said..goodmorning!!

Very glad to see that you’ve posted. I was also gratified to read your comments about taking a step back… I did so, and was a bit surprised at myself. I don’t think that I was trying to get anyone to change their views about what you asserted, I felt only that what you said you did was POSSIBLE to have done. The thing is, I forgot the most important point whilst in the heat of posting. That is, simply, that everyone’s entitled to her or his own opnion. I’m so glad that I got off of the pc, and took a long breather. It doesn’t really matter whether or not the posters here feel your or anyones (including mine) opnions are valid. Whatever they feel is fine.
Having said that, I’d like to state that I do think it was ‘possible’. I’m not a big video game player, but I’ve played a few in the past; the ‘adventure’ type games Syberia, and Myst. In those, there are indeed ‘hotspots’ that lead the players to other screens and easter eggs. So, to imagine that there would be such things imbedded in a game such as this isn’t that far-fetched an idea.
I realize that you’ve already posted this:

I am gonna just leave it at the posts I have already made in the past. If someone really wants to try and find it, I gave them MORE than enough of info to do so
but while reviewing the visitor’s centre of the UK gamesite, one of the FAQ’s read:
“How do you find the Easter Eggs?”
The hidden bonuses are found in the special locations, such as Bella’s house, Jacob’s house, and some more spots that you will discover as you play…
So, I know you don’t plan to divest further info as to how to find the hotspot to Jacob’s house…but I wish that you’d reconsider. Particularly since it appears that you won’t be playing the second phase.
Please think about it. I sure could use the help.
but while
July 11th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Good Morning Volleyball! And thanks admin, for clearing up all the confusion!
July 11th, 2010 at 6:39 am
GM to all!
It was a long night last night, but thanks again for coming to the rescue admin!
You all should go over and register on the new forum as referenced by the link in admin’s post.
Once you’re registered, go to “Into The Twilight” and then into the topic Volvo’s “Lost In Forks” Game.
We’ll all be posting stuff there (at least I hope so). Ready to discuss strategies and such for this next phase.
Please join us
July 11th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Just when we had almost the whole gang back, too. I was enjoying the back and forth before it got crazy. But if Bella is off with Stefan, does that mean Damon is still up for grabs? If so, I’m switching from Team Switzerland to Team Damon!
July 11th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
This blog is much simpler.
July 11th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Hey everyone-i am new to posting -went to the other forum and got “Blogged”down in redtape i’m not sure i ever got thru.
Q-for techie and admin- if we lose our broadband connection during play are we “lost in forks” never to return or can we get back in and resume via some user password -some one comeback
July 11th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Is everyone on the new thread?
I agree with you Dianne- the last comment before mine is from you and was posted 2hours ago-am I alone?
July 11th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
It’s easy once you get the hang of it. Already hundreds of posts….come on in, the water is fine.
July 11th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Over at the new house (aka forum), I mean.
July 11th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Well, I have been at the forum all day long, and for those of you who haven’t joined, i agree with techie. Come on in, the water is fine. It truly is simple. Just takes some getting used to.
July 11th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
i just wanted to be 1515.

July 12th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Hi Lnz, it starts at 10:00am PT, which is 1:00pm Georgia time.
July 13th, 2010 at 7:54 am
thanks so much! (:
July 13th, 2010 at 9:52 am
9 more minutes I’m nervous….
July 13th, 2010 at 9:57 am
I would think there would be more chit chat from yal today but its really quiet wowww this can be a really good thing or really bad thing lolz
July 13th, 2010 at 10:06 am
It isn’t working on my computer. Is it working on anyone else’s?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:11 am
no, but glad i’m not the only one
July 13th, 2010 at 10:13 am
I can’t get it to work either.. I’m having flash backs of Volvo’s last screw up!
July 13th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Same guys not working on mine either :S
July 13th, 2010 at 10:16 am
soo…onced we play, do we only get 1 try? we cant go back and play again?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:17 am
its working on mine
July 13th, 2010 at 10:18 am
I’m not getting a start or enter button. We’re just supposed to use the link from the email, right?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:19 am
omg just beat the final phase
July 13th, 2010 at 10:23 am
I dont get if this phased is timed, why is it open till July 15th yet it says they will announce the winner soon
July 13th, 2010 at 10:32 am
did any1 pass already? i dont wanna know how im jst curious.
July 13th, 2010 at 10:34 am
what did you click on to get to the game? i’m still looking at the screen that says congratulations; see you on July 13th at 10 am…
July 13th, 2010 at 10:38 am
there are alott of people who cant get the contest to work. im too scared myself to click enter:x
July 13th, 2010 at 10:41 am
mine started to slow down. but i’m using safari. i went to the email and at the end of the msg it says click to chose your destination or something like that. click on there and it’ll take u to the game. you have to put ur bday again n all.
July 13th, 2010 at 10:43 am
Just chill for a while and don’t panic. You have until the 15th to enter.In the New Moon “what drives Edward contest” many people could not get on for 20 minutes or more.This time it is not the first to finish that wins but the person who completes in the shortest time – from the moment they hit enter until they finish. I’m really glad that they have given you 2 days in which to play, as there is bound to be a lot of demand at first. By giving you a 2 day slot everyone can get on the game when they want and have a fairer chance. Last time the car was already won before many of us could even log on to the game!
July 13th, 2010 at 10:43 am
done!
July 13th, 2010 at 10:47 am
@ jess; u finished?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:47 am
the only thing i want to know is if we need to use the same 11 forks to get to the cullens house? do we?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:48 am
I clicked that Find Your Destiny link, but it just takes me to the page with the Congratulation sign. No enter button… I guess I’ll keep trying.
July 13th, 2010 at 10:49 am
i finished yeah!!!!!!!
July 13th, 2010 at 10:51 am
How long did it take everyone to finish the final phase??? And nobody should give anything away. If you are then you’re truley stupid for doing so… And obvoustly you don’t want to win…
July 13th, 2010 at 10:52 am
how do u get in
July 13th, 2010 at 10:57 am
they sent an e-mail to those who qualified
July 13th, 2010 at 11:08 am
ugh mine isn’t working
July 13th, 2010 at 11:10 am
I just finished the final phase. PHEWW!
=]
Good luck people!
July 13th, 2010 at 11:13 am
I just finished the final phase too! I hope I did okay!
July 13th, 2010 at 11:14 am
it didn’t take me long at all, but i doubt i was the fastest. did you get all the questions right?
July 13th, 2010 at 11:17 am
so we are all positive its the same 11 forks?
July 13th, 2010 at 11:37 am
if yours isn’t working you should clear your cache, and i thought it was gonna be way harder than it was….kinda lame.
July 13th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Cleaned my cache… Still no enter button. I’m getting very aggravated.
July 13th, 2010 at 11:50 am
i finished about an hour ago….
missed one question
i was shaking and stressing out the whole time. What about everyone else, did the get the questions right? and weren’t they suppose to show a clip as well?
July 13th, 2010 at 11:52 am
I was done in literally a minute or two. The final phase was actualyl kind of lame, if you ask me. But I’d rather it be lame than very complicated!
July 13th, 2010 at 11:55 am
In the official rules, it tells you you can only play the final phase once. The rest you do after your first try are void. So good luck everyone!!!
July 13th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
what are the answers!!! please some one prob already won. i just want to beat it not to win just to get it done.!!
July 13th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Nvm. I see they tell you that before you start.
July 13th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
maybe you have to clear your whole browsing history. i wish it would have told you your time that you completed it. i did it very fast and got all the answers correct, but i have no idea what my time was:(
July 13th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I wonder how many of us “finalist”s there are? Good luck to everyone.
July 13th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
probably alot because ppl would just give away the answers…i made it in 11 forks, the 4th try, on my own, its gonna suck for those who didn’t find the house on your own during the last phase. i hope whoever wins actually deserves it:)
mmmmhmmmm
July 13th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
i have a question, if you accidentally click enter and then go back to try again, are you considered?
even if i didnt give my information at the end the first time?
July 13th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
I finished no problem! I don’t know if I did it the fastest but just right around the minute mark. Got all the questions right. Good Luck to everyone and I hope that whoever does win enjoys the ride
July 13th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Just got done myself it was easy but my hands didnt want to move as fast as i wanted them to i just hope someone that didnt cheat will win
July 13th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
i thought they were showing us a scene from the movie, not a still frame! LOL
July 13th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
well i did it in 11 but still didnt get through to the next round, does that mean i didnt do it quick enough or are the next round peoples picked at random?
July 13th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
just finished the game and got all the questions right!!
i’m so excited and i played the game twice.
July 13th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
@victoria Did you check your spam for email? Thats where my letter was.
July 13th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
hey guys im trying to wait before i do it so that i have an ideaa of everything first…
July 13th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I finished just under a minute, answered all questions correctly and submitted… I was checking the rules again and the question box came up again?? I answered and resubmitted. Anyone else have this happen??
July 13th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
i finished quick….i thought it was going to be very complicated for the final phase…i finished probably in a minute, maybe less. does the questions determine if you win or not? please someone let me know?
July 13th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Tiffani-
After last years contest I was afraid of overthinking this one- and glad I didn’t. I actually used the help of my supah smaht 11 year old and we got thru it in less than 1 1/2 mins.
I highly suggest anyone with questions read the rules- you HAVE to get to the Cullens house, look at what you’re supposed to look at, wait for the ‘eclipse’ to happen (which took longer on our end than we were told it would…) answered the multiple choice bit correctly and ALL of this faster than anyone else. That is why they are giving it 2 days.
You not only have to get to the Cullens the right way but you have to answer the questions correctly. Then they have to determine if you are the ONLY one who did it faster than anyone else. Next they have to verify if you are legal, have not been convicted of a crime nor had a DWI in the past 10 years. On top of that you have to prove your drivers license is in good standing, etc etc…
In the case of a tie? Glory be, you have to write an essay!
I think it’s all worth the cool car, though. Especially since it’s no skin off my nose and I have enjoyed the thrill of it all.
I wish everyone luck!
July 14th, 2010 at 6:06 am
One additional little item that has not really been mentioned is the cost of the ‘free car’. The rules state that the winner will need to pay tax & licensing on the actual recommended vehicle cost (47,000 X 10% for tax = 4700.) Plus any dealer costs (possibly the sales commision ???)
July 14th, 2010 at 9:50 am
@Leah, try more like 25% in income taxes and then add state sales tax on the full price, licence fees, delivery charges, and a few other things. It’ll cost the winner probably $15k to take ownership of the car. Good luck, all!
July 14th, 2010 at 10:34 am
@Haha suckahs – You’re a cheater, and you’re stupid for posting that. I hope Volvo see’s your post and disqualifies you.
July 14th, 2010 at 11:20 am
@Haha suckahs i might want to get a refund on that software if I were you because we were getting just about the same time at the library with the cheepest internet the provider out here offers…
July 14th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
I am excited to see who the winner is. Probably not me, I’m from a small town and this stuff doesn’t happen around here, so I’m just ecstatic to see who does win it!!
July 14th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Just wondering, Do I have to count those “30″ secods of still picture in my “total” time or should I just include time it took me to get to Cullen’s house and To finish question/Submit.??
July 14th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
lol haha suckahs you are not speacial andd that time is about average. And i didn’t need any speacial software… i knew the path by heart because i did it so much and knew where to click by the way i did some math if anyone wants to say they did it in a minute or less they are liers. yees the 30 sec thing counts and everything counts from the second you press enter and the time you submit so that includes entering your name and email and all that stuff
July 14th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
So sweet… Not sure what my time was, but got my 11 forks pretty quickly and I did get all 3 questions right. I’m actually quite proud of that.
July 14th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
hey im just wondering did everyone get the same 3 questions at the end or do they mix em up so people cant cheat as easily?
July 14th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
I understand if no one wants to answer this right away cause doing so may give hints to the questions but if someone could after it has ended I’d like to kno if the questions were the same for all or if there were a mix of random questions and each person got a random 3 to answer at the end. Thanks, Goodluck!
July 14th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
i finished quick….i thought it was going to be very complicated for the final phase…i finished probably in a minute, maybe less. does the questions determine if you win or not? please someone let me know? i read the rules and it didn’t say if the questions had to be correct. it just said who finishes the fastest.
July 15th, 2010 at 10:43 am
soooo…… who won?
July 15th, 2010 at 10:58 am
when will they tell us who won?
July 15th, 2010 at 11:26 am
This is straight from the rules site:
NOTIFICATION OF THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER: The potential Grand Prize winner will be notified by email on or about July 26, 2010. Upon receipt of the email notification, potential Grand Prize winner will be required to provide his/her telephone number to West Coast Marketing and a representative from West Coast Marketing will call the potential Grand Prize winner within twenty-four (24) hours. At the time of the telephone call, the potential Grand Prize winner will be asked to honestly answer up to ten (10) questions about his/her eligibility and any and all prior felony or guilty plea convictions over the past ten (10) years. If a potential Grand Prize winner does not meet the eligibility requirements or has been convicted in a court of law or entered a plea of guilty or no contest to any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or theft or who has been convicted in a court of law or entered a plea of guilty or no contest to DWI over the past ten (10) years, or is ineligible at the time of the telephone call, the Finalist who completed the Final Phase in the next shortest amount of time (“Runner-Up Finalist”) will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner. If the potential Grand Prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and awarded to the Runner-Up Finalist. Potential Grand Prize winner is not an actual winner until his/her submission is validated and his/her documents are completed and submitted to West Coast Marketing. In the event of non-compliance with these Official Rules by the potential Grand Prize winner, the prize will be forfeited at the sole discretion of Sponsor) and the Runner-Up Finalist will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner subject to all conditions…
July 15th, 2010 at 11:28 am
Or you can visit the lost-in-forks contest rules website at:
http://www.customers.volvocars.com/eclipse/termsandconditions.aspx
July 15th, 2010 at 11:37 am
@fishbulb
The income taxes will need to be listed in your federal/state income tax forms via some sort of a 1099 IRS form. This is NOT due at the time of winning.
However the sales tax and licensing fees plus the dealer fees will need to be paid at the time of obtaining the vehicle….which means that the winner will need to come up with about 5k real quick and as per the contest rules – the vehicle is non transferable and the winner will not be able to request cash instead of the vehicle….
when you win a large item like this – the winner has to pay applicable costs….it is not free.
sorry guys….I am just trying to keep it real….
July 15th, 2010 at 11:41 am
@rabbit
The US game has ended so I feel comfortable answering your question regarding the last three questions:
I have verbally spoken with other game players and it does seem that it is the same three questions for everyone…
July 15th, 2010 at 11:48 am
@Tiffani and Ke-Z:
The rules do state that the time begins when you press start and continues until you press submit which means that the ’3 seconds’ are counted in the complete time.
Yes – the answers do need to be correct.
‘During the Final Phase, Finalists will be required to go to the Contest Site and follow the directions provided. After pressing “enter” (or such other start mechanic as may be indicated by the directions) (the “Start”), Finalists will have to find the Cullen’s House again, view the scene and, after the “eclipse”, correctly answer the three (3) questions about the scene in the shortest amount of time from the Start until they press the “submit” button. Prior to pressing “submit”, Finalists will be required to input their first name, last name and e-mail address. Entry will only be deemed complete once Finalist presses the “submit” button.’
July 15th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
… so do u guys realize that you could have practiced a couple times first since Entry will only be deemed complete once Finalist presses the “submit” button.’
July 15th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
gaha i went through and made mistakes on the forks, but freaked out and did it all over again after, so yeah, im still in the running because i didnt press submit first
July 15th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
no you arent you only have ONE chance…noob
July 15th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
um, yes i am, i was responding to the previous message, thanks.
July 15th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Just saying; possible clues that link are the parade of shops when you turn right at the beginning:
1) left top hand of the shop says ‘beds and matresses’ – Edward doesnt sleep, but gets a matress for Bella in Eclipse.
2) right hand shop ‘tanning salon’ – Bella is always pale!
just saying! lol I think also watching the film first has a lot to do with it! Just because the film distribution company want people to watch the film, they want their cut so clues from the film (after paying) link to the game.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
You can get a loan from your local credit union if you need to finance the sales tax and fees. The volvo will be the collateral.
July 15th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
So we have to wait another like week to find out who won. They sure make us do a lot of waiting.
July 16th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Hello Everybody,
I just wanted to let you know, that I am still around. I know that the US game is closed; however, the UK contest is still going on, so I will not say anymore about the contest than this:
I found a link to the irealand finale, and so I used that link to almost perfect, the secret found at the “Top of the rock”
at the cop car scene. And thus by doing so, I was able to shave about 25 secs off my final time, however I did fumble a little bit with my name, email, etc…
Anyway, since there is another game going on now, I will wait until that one is over before I reveal the SPOT that takes you to Jacbo’s house.
Like I said in my last posts, believe what you want, it doesn’t matter to me either way. But, I think you’ll find that I’m not the LIAR you have all called me.
I’ll be here, still “creeping in the woods”
Good Luck everyone……I don’t expect to win, beside I really don’t need the car like I said before, but I was a bit disappointed when I found out the routes weren’t changed, but I guess that was Volvo’s way of letting the ones that figured out the shorter route and didn’t submit, to still have a chance to get a really GOOD TIME!
July 17th, 2010 at 7:54 am
Hey WP.
Not everybody thought that you were lying.
Having said that, I tried to find the hotspot you were refering to. I couldn’t. That’s not to say it (the hotspot) didn’t (doesn’t) exist. I just couldn’t locate it. If you’d check back, there was at least one other person that stated that he did find it. So, not everyone disbelieved you.
I think you are quite right in what you’ve stated, and it took me getting into heated, ugly arguments to see it: it doesn’t really matter if people believe you or not- and I say this with respect to them and you: everyone is entitled to her or his own opnion.
If I may state what is on my mind as to finding ‘things’ that others couldn’t; whether it’s ‘hotspots’, ‘words’, ‘numbers’, ‘phrases’, or whatever.
Did those things, ultimately, help when playing the endgame? If it took hours to find the hotspot, that wouldn’t of helped at all, would it?
Even if one had found it, if it didn’t link to the Cullen house, as it turns out, that wasn’t where you needed to ultimately end up anyway.
You played the Volvo game in Ireland. Great. Cool. You were able to shave off twenty five secs. of runtime. Excellent. But, did you play the Volvo US game? How was your time there? I know you don’t care about winning, but then, what was all this for, if not to try and win the game?
You state that you’ll reveal the exact hotspot after the Volvo UK game ends. That’s great, but after the game ends, the gamesite will close, so how’s anybody gonna be able to verify what you post?
No offense meant. I’m just asking.
July 17th, 2010 at 9:14 am
I’m sorry to be making this personal statement; but this has been on my mind for awhile, so here goes:
To Mike.
I’d like to apologize for contributing to the extremely unpleasant, downright nasty atmosphere that occured awhile back.
As I re-read the posts I made whilest arguing, I must say that I’m very much ashamed of some of the language I’d used. In my defense, please, may I state that I didn’t ‘fire first’, and was reacting to what seemed pointed, unkind attacks. I now realize, however, that one doesn’t always have to return insults in kind; and that ugly words and remarks do not contribute to an intelligent, well considered debate.
I’m sure that folk spewing foul language and other ugly remarks were not what you’d intended when you launched this site. Again, for my having contributed to that bad atmosphere, I extend my deepest apologies and regret.
Sincerely,
kim
July 17th, 2010 at 9:29 am
Wolfpack, I’ve a suggestion as to how you can ‘post’ your answer. Mike has started a forum. Here’s the link:
http://www.whereisedwardcullen.com/forum/index.php?topic=2
Mike, Techie, and others are members there. People that have already played the final phase. You could register, pm them with the exact hotspot; that way, you’ll be showing the answer, but not giving the solution away to those who are still eligible to play.
Just a thought.
July 17th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Kim you make some very valid points. First of all, I have no way of really KNOWING who is or isn’t from the UK or who is friends with others from the UK.
Another thing, you are absolutely right about, if I waited until after the UK game was over to reveal the spot, then the game would be over and I couldn’t then PROVE it. So….How about this, I will wait until the last 3 minutes of the UK game, and then EVERYONE can open up their browers, and Follow along with me right to the hotspot, that is/was sure to be a BIG HELP to SOME people playing this game.
I prob will not join that forum, I see that the admin(s) there actually let the very ones that was nasty to everyone on here be MODERAORS HAHA that is a joke I.M.O.
Anyway, thanks for all your battling for me, but I am just happy k4nowing that I figured out this game and many (not all) of it’s secrets! That alone, really is, enough.
Infact, to show you that I am serious about not wanting the car. If I do win, I will invite everyone on this board, to open up the UK site, before it closes, I will “show” you the hotspot place, and then I will give them one hour, to get to the cullen’s house (using the hotspot, and the fastest person on THIS Board, that can show me VIDEO PROOF—-Will win the car back from me, how does that sound?
Good luck everybody!
July 17th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
WP18 your nice to do that
July 17th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Hi WP.
I appreciate your sentiments. I think that you are correct in not wanting to divulge things to those who may prove, or have proven to be…um…well, anyway.
I’d LOVE to participate, and see the links you’ve found. If you could please remind us of the time, I plan on being there with bells on.
And thank YOU. It’s nice to know that ones’ efforts don’t go unnoticed.
Lastly, I don’t think that you should go volunteering to give up the car, if you are blessed to have won it. Keep your winnings (if that’s what happens) and enjoy it enough for all of us. How does THAT sound?
Good Luck to Everyone.
July 17th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Kim, thank you for your apology. We here at Where Is Edward Cullen appreciate it. Things did get a little out of hand in the comments and I think a lot of it had to do with a handful of trolls getting into the mix. It’s all said and done, and the forums have created a bit more of a protected environment for all of our readers.
July 19th, 2010 at 10:19 am
@Wolfpack 18, I have spent countless hours scouring the rocks in that scene. I have come up with the hand several times to no avail…if the hand appeared, if it did not have a go left or right script it did not produce any action.
Since all of us who got 11 forks were invited to the finals…how can you continue to say…there is a shorter way?
I for one would like to see the additional screens just for curiosity sake. email me @ adklimo@gmail.com
July 19th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
When will the winner be announced?
July 20th, 2010 at 6:18 am
So did anyone win it yet off this site?
July 20th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
It took me so long to read all of these!! I didn’t actually read all of them though! U guys r hilarious!
July 20th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Does anyone have a guess on how much the tax of the car will cost?
July 20th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Where did everybody go? Edward!!!!
July 21st, 2010 at 9:14 am
@Bella check out comment 1500 that’s where the diehards live
July 21st, 2010 at 9:15 am
I got it in 11 if you count the starting place as the first one. It took me ages to work it out but it helps if you write it down. I’m not sure why I am bothering though – the puzzles for New Moon’s Volvo quiz were too hard and I couldn’t be bothered to spend that much time working them out. Chances are if 11 is the shortest route I won’t do the next level if it’s as difficult!
July 21st, 2010 at 8:13 pm
WP18…just finished reading your latest posts, and sorry but I will have to respectfully disagree with you…again. It’s not worth getting into a “you know what” contest about it, really. It just sounds a little like sour grapes to me on your part…perhaps because we asked you for solid proof of your <11 solution and when you couldn't prove your claims we, and I do mean WE, expressed that we had a hard time believing the validity of your claims. I personally don't think that was an irrational response on my part and I won't try to speak for any other posters on this blog.
Also, I don't recall that I was ever "nasty" to you. If I hurt your feelings in some way, it was unintentional. I only asked for proof. I expressed this before, but for your sake, I will say it again, I absolutley was hoping that you would/could prove me wrong.
I never said your claim to find the Cullens in less than 11 forks wasn't possible, just said not likely or probable IMHO. I base my logic and understanding on the empirical evidence presented. Therein was the dilemma for you; to date you have NEVER presented any evidence to prove your claim. Showing a picture of said hotspot or reposting instructions as to where the alleged rock/hotspot is located isn't enough for me.
Please, show me the Volvo that you won for your efforts and I'll eat my hat.
Wishing you all the best.
Oh, and for you to state that it's a joke that I'm a moderator for the forum…well now, that's nasty.
Love Techie <3
July 21st, 2010 at 8:36 pm
LOL! Love ya Techie!
July 22nd, 2010 at 1:12 am
Techie, I never said that you were being ‘nasty’ to ME. What I was talking about, is when you were being rude during that whole “imposter” night! It showed your true colors–(“No-one messes with this Marine!”) Sound about right? lol
You had/have every right to dispute my solution, and I NEVER once said that I would win the volvo, in fact, I said I probably wouldn’t, because, although I did manage to shave 25 secs off my time, by going the shorter route, (5 forks to the cop car, 4 forks more to the cullen house) I still fumbled a lot with the questions and the name and email thing, so I probably didn’t win—-still no email here—. But, the only thing I meant about my comment of it being a joke that you are a moderator at the new site, is because I saw how quickly you flew off the handle during that whole night of messages, which seems to all be deleted now, so unless others saw those messages, they don’t know what I am even talking about.
So when I saw that the new site was posted, I clicked on it, and I saw that you and someone else, was a moderator, and after flashbacks of witnessing that night, I decided NOT to join.
You STILL ask, if my claims are true, then why don’t I show proof? Well, if I recall, someone else showed “Proof” of a 10 fork solve, and everyone was very quick to say, “It is just photoshopped” just like the pic that I got from the flash file, which btw did not require any knowledge of doing a “screen shot” which I still don’t exactly know how to do. Also, because it would be CHEATING, there are other countries still playing this game, and I have no idea who is or isn’t from those countries, that is why I said that I will just wait, and then I will show you.
Also, to show that I really mean no hard feelings, you can also enter the contest that I will host IF I do by some miracle win the volvo, because I really don’t need it, but maybe you or someone you know does? So, IF I do win, and IF you do enter, GOOD LUCK!!
I will try not to say anymore about all of this, until it is ALL said and done.
Good luck to you and everyone in the 2nd phase on winning the volvo!
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:27 pm
http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/general/ht/winscreenshot.htm
Maybe that can help you out WP!
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
WOW! Thanks so much Christina! I never knew that it was THAT simple to do! I have now made several wonderful screen shots of all the extra stuff I found in the game, and I will be sure to post the pic with the directions, when all of this is over, you may have also helped my crediability out, since I can NOW show pictures of the hotspot, jacob’s house etc… along with the directions.
I don’t remember you on this board, are you a new comer? Anyway, IF I win the Volvo, I hope that you enter my contest, you are very nice and I hope that you WIN!!!
Again, thanks so much, that was so simple duh!
July 22nd, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Oh, WP18!
We are all waiting so very anxiously for your pics!
Thank God for Christina, she’s a REAL lifesaver, huh?
July 22nd, 2010 at 10:26 pm
Wicked, I should have known that you were behind all of this, and here I thought that someone genuinely was trying to help me:( Anyway, I am glad that you could have a big laugh at my expense, after all, it is better to smile and laugh, then it is to frown and cry!:)
Well, I’ll just go back into the shadows I guess. And Good Luck to you and have a great night!
July 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Oh-no WP- Christina is trying to help! I’m just very interested in seeing these pics, cause I was never fortunate enough to see them for myself! So, if you use the link Christina provided..You should have no trouble SHOWING us!
July 22nd, 2010 at 11:53 pm
i have been reading here but never really posting anything, and all i can say is that wp18 is full of it. and everybody still asks him for advice, or says that he will show us the way. why can’t you people realize that he was wrong the first time and blamed on some computer glitch, he still won’t post screen shots, and he has yet to post anything proving anybody wrong. u will see, he won’t win the car, he won’t have a contest, and he will go away once the winner is announced, which wont be him.
so prove me wrong wp18, but i bet you will fail.
July 23rd, 2010 at 5:29 am
Guys, dont be nasty to wolfpack18, this competition has made you all stir crazy, the winner will be announced on the 26th and wolfpack has mentioned he will share his findings when there are 3 mins left on the UK game.
I certainly cannot find the hotspot on fork 5 and the only hand that occured was when you directed the mouse pointer to the Eclipse sign at the top which then took you to the offical Eclipse website which showed you a clip of the film with Bella and Jacob at the school.
Im sure like everyone we want to beleive wolfpack18, it doesnt make sense to bend the truth in such a way, why be so cruel to make this all up if he isnt? Okay a computer you can hide behind and write what ever crap you want, bit like having an episode of road rage in a car knowing you can get away with it, but wolfpack18 seems so determined with what he has said, so give a little hey and bear with him.
I really dont think there is any reason to be nasty, we are all waiting with gasped breath for proof but must consider the fact the UK comp is still going, I know cause im playing it and hope to get to the final phase and he simply doesnt want to show proof until the games have closed, in fairness to all
No dont be having a go at me, for supporting wolfpack because I try and see fairness in everything and I certainly dont like seeing people jumped on by so many.
peace out, Jane
July 23rd, 2010 at 7:26 am
WP I wasn’t trying to be mean! I really was trying to help you out. A couple years ago I had no idea what the PRTSC button did on my computer either!
July 23rd, 2010 at 6:25 pm
WP18, in addition to the instructions for how to Alt+Print Screen that Christina sent to you to genuinely help you. I am letting you know, just as genuinely, that you can use tinypic.com to easily share your saved screenshot of Jacob’s house with everyone.
That site lets you (for free) upload your pic and then gives you a link that you can paste right in your post here and on the forum. It really only takes all of 30 seconds to do.
As I’ve said before, there’s no need for you to go to the trouble of posting your solution. I think you’ve stated pretty clearly that you can get to Jacob’s house from the top of a rock on the fork that includes the boathouse and Charlie’s cop car. It’s just that none of us are having any luck finding it even now and are not lucky to ever find it. You yourself said it was very tricky to do but you’ve at least done it before.
As far as waiting until there’s only 3 more minutes remaining for the UK game to release your solutoin, what’s the difference between waiting 3 min or 3 hours or 3 days or 3 weeks before it ends with respect to cheating? Early is early. It’s a bit like someone saying that they only overdrew their bank account by $50 rather than $500. Overdrawn is overdrawn.
Anyway, I’m just really interested in seeing the picture of the site reached once you’ve made your way through the wormhole. I really don’t care so much as to how you did it.
You pointed out our skepticism about Drake’s proof of his “Congratulations, you’ve reached the Cullen’s house in 10 forks” picture. Well I wouldn’t classify it as proof..in fact i think that we’d all agree that it turned out to be an absolute fake, didn’t it? So, it looks as though the group’s skepticism was spot on the money if you ask me. Why? Well, seeing as all finalists both US and abroad have all reached the Cullens in 11 forks shows us that it couldn’t have been real. If it had been, Drake would’ve had me beat for sure as well as thousands of others. And I’m pretty sure that the picture he posted was from a captured screenshot that had been doctored.
Come on….you can admit it to me…you knew it was a fake too, I bet.
To prove that it could be done, my tech savvy son and I found that you could easily doctor the contest’s end page with Paint. I took a screenshot from one of my test navigations, and then copied a “0″ from the date and pasted over the first “1″ in the “11 forks”. It was even pretty hard to detect that it had been doctored at all once we were finished with it.
And as far as showing my “true colors” during the crazy night, there was no “flying off the handle” on my part. I simply kept making my refutes to some of the claims posted out here and to point out the fake Techie postings. If that makes me unworthy of being a moderator, then I’ll gladly step aside for you or anyone else to take the helm. Besides, I didn’t ask for the job it was offered and I certainly don’t mind lending a hand when needed if someone asks for it.
As for my “you’ve messed with the wrong Marine” comment, it was meant in total jest. I’ve never been a Marine so that makes it completely invalid. It was my attempt, and apparently it was a bad one, to try to lighten the mood.
You can ask my fellow forum members and they will attest that I actually gave the impostor a lot of credit. It was a very clever tactic on his/her part. At the very least, it certainly made us all crazy trying to figure what everyone was really saying. There were no rules prohibiting the use of an already used name and I’ve always said that anything is fair in love and war. I took it as a compliment that they were trying to appear to be me.
Anyway, please post your picture(s) of Jacob’s house, Bella’s backpack, and whatever else we didn’t see going the normal route. I think we would all be able to spot a fake pic when we see one. Someone would have to go to an awful lot of trouble to create an elaborate photo to replicate one that is similar in nature to that of all of the other forks in the contest especially since they appear to have all been from real movie scenes and included the real actors.
Sure, a fake could be created, but it would take some effort.
So please, please, please post the pictures, WP18. My request is offered with absolute sincerity and is in no way, shape, or form meant to be in ridicule.
Kind Regards,
Techie
July 23rd, 2010 at 10:27 pm
WP18,
PLEASE post pics of what you found. I am really interested in seeing what I couldnt find. I spent forever trying to find hidden links, and would love for you to post the pictures. Really, Techie and Christina are trying to help. Please come back so we can all see what we coudlnt and you could. I think we all just loved the game and are excited to see new things. Its just a shame we couldnt find them for ourselves. Please, WP, dont leave us hanging!
July 24th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
when do they say who won?
July 25th, 2010 at 12:10 am
they will send an email to notify the grand prize winner on the 26th, but they will announce the winner on 8/15 but you have to mail in a letter to receive the name i guess??
this is what they said on their contest rules.
July 25th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Yo change the subject completely…… 1) I found that clicking on the light spots on each fork it shot you quicker to the next screen. 11 forks for me. 2) about the car taxes and irs form 1099.. Wnner will be responsible for all taxes etc… The form 1099 is a form you must ADD the price of the car to your Tax return as INCOME example… you made 24,000.00 at work add 47,000.00 for a ‘gift’ so you’ll pay income taxes on 71,000.00 Fed and most states. This is true for almost any large item you ‘win’.. Reguardless… I really liked the game!!
July 26th, 2010 at 10:27 am
soooooo…….. what now?
July 26th, 2010 at 11:07 am
Volvo Cars US Attn Lost in Forks contestants: We have found a winner, who will be revealed tomorrow. Thank you all for making this game such a success!
July 26th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
I have been saying from the beginning thatthis could be done in less than 11 forks and it can. Just because no one was able to do it within the time frame provided to the US players does not mean it is not possible.
July 26th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
They updated the game today to make it easier for those who were unable to pick up the clues in the previous install of the game.
July 26th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
You all want to see one of the “clues” ok, AKA not only means otherwise known as was the clue. Go to the bulldozer page. Wait until the bucket is at the top, you can see the K right in the middle with an A on either side, the only goes down the door and the rest of the clue is in the different colors of the wood piled to the right of the dozer. It IS there you just have to look very closely.
July 26th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
ALice dun came out of wonder land……..
July 26th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
I can contact admin if you like Frank. We don’t need things becoming negative here again.
July 26th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Better yet, why don’t you tell us where the clues are Frank!
July 27th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Congrats Allyson T.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:34 am
It’s July 27th. So, congratulations to whomever has won the car.
With all due respect to those who have figured out “shorter routes” and “obscure clues”; I had a thought.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Volvo would give the solution(s) to the game? I didn’t participate in any of the previous one’s, so, from what I’ve read, they didn’t give out any answers for those.
But I’d be curious as to what the ‘clues’, ‘hotlinks’, ‘hard, or impossible to find scenes’ really are. Or, whether they’re really there.
I don’t have a Facebook, acct. But for those who do, and can access Volvo through Facebook, could you guys ask Volvo if, this once, they would be willing to provide ‘the world’ with the DEFINITIVE answers to their puzzle. I mean, AFTER all the games have been played worldwide, of course.
They could keep the gamesite open for about 1 more week after UK finishes, post the answers, and we’ll all know exactly what the answers are.
Volvo might be ‘game’. It’ll still keep people talking about the puzzle, and keep Volvo on everyone’s mind, for virtually little or no expense.
July 27th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Congratulations to Allyson T of Florence. If you are a member of this site, could you let us know how many forks you took for phase 1 and a rough time for phase 2? Alternatively does anyone know how to contact VOLVO and find out. It is totally beyond me. I can’t even work out how to post on the other forum.
July 27th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Checked my email and got the Volvo message that the shortest route is, well anyway; congratulations to Allyson. Good going.
July 27th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Interesting, Wolfpack18 – Volvo says 11 Forks!
The “Lost in Forks Volvo Contest” has ended.
And we can now reveal the shortest route:
11 Forks
Congratulations to the winner:
THE WINNER
Allyson T.
Florence, OR
July 27th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
@Kim…didn’t you get the email? 11 Forks…all finalists got it right. Allyson T was the fastest in the finals.
July 27th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Yep, thanks Dianne. Got it. I didn’t know if it was cool to post the final amount of turns, seeing as how the game is still on for those in the UK. But now that it’s been posted, doesn’t really matter.
Anyway,again, congrats; Allyson.
July 27th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Is there only one prize that’s won? I mean there is only one XC60 and it’s been won already? I thought it was one per country.
July 28th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
of coarse allison comes from oregon, the one state where there is no sales taxes, which means she wont have to pay like 5,000 in taxes!!!!
congrats allison, hope you enjoy your car!!!! :]

August 2nd, 2010 at 1:47 pm
its all quiet on here, no wolfpack18 or alice commenting no more…no fun!
August 18th, 2010 at 3:30 am
Is this site still alive or has everyone joined the forum?
@Wolfpack -does your offer to show the “hotspot” still stand? There are just 2 days left in the uk contest which ends on friday at 11.59pm GMT.
Are you serious about your offer made in comment 1600???
I am still curious about these “split second hand without word” flashes I have seen but been unable to open.
August 20th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
WP..I saw the hand without words..but now I’m thinking that it was just a fluke.
August 20th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
It is 2am in the uk on the 21st of August and the game is still open.
No sign of Wolfpack and his “hotspot / new scenes”!!!! Guess the others had him sussed!! I honestly thought he was telling the truth.
@ WP you still have time or are you waiting for the final??
August 21st, 2010 at 7:40 am
C’mon WP. The game’s still open. How ’bout it? Or, was all that arguing on your behalf for nothing? Maybe I owe Techie and the others an apology.
August 23rd, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Hi Kim – glad to see someone still checks this site. WP didn’t show up then!!! Shame – I’d like to see some of the clues he suggested. My imagination is obviously not up to his. Was there anything at the beach?
August 25th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Hey kimsmum. WP was a no-show, after all. I must say that I believed that he’d show up, right to the very end. Oh well.
Um, I didn’t see anything at the beach, but was told that there were words and phrases all over. Therein lay the dilemma. I figured that just because I couldn’t see ‘words’ or ‘clues’ and such; that didn’t necessarily mean that they weren’t there. Honestly, I still think that, even though I’ll not be able to see what others said they could.
August 26th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Hi Kim
I am waiting to see if I made it to the 2nd round in the uk game. Hopefully I’ll get a chance for another look. I emailed Volvo to ask if they could re-run the game for a while after the contests had all closed, so we could have a look at all the extra bits and pieces others had found, but like WP they have not responded either. My ICT skills or powers of persuasion must be pretty useless.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Wolfpack18
July 17th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Kim you make some very valid points. First of all, I have no way of really KNOWING who is or isn’t from the UK or who is friends with others from the UK.
Another thing, you are absolutely right about, if I waited until after the UK game was over to reveal the spot, then the game would be over and I couldn’t then PROVE it. So….How about this, I will wait until the last 3 minutes of the UK game, and then EVERYONE can open up their browers, and Follow along with me right to the hotspot, that is/was sure to be a BIG HELP to SOME people playing this game.
I prob will not join that forum, I see that the admin(s) there actually let the very ones that was nasty to everyone on here be MODERAORS HAHA that is a joke I.M.O.
Anyway, thanks for all your battling for me, but I am just happy k4nowing that I figured out this game and many (not all) of it’s secrets! That alone, really is, enough.
Infact, to show you that I am serious about not wanting the car. If I do win, I will invite everyone on this board, to open up the UK site, before it closes, I will “show” you the hotspot place, and then I will give them one hour, to get to the cullen’s house (using the hotspot, and the fastest person on THIS Board, that can show me VIDEO PROOF—-Will win the car back from me, how does that sound?
GUESS WOLFPACK IS NEVER TURNING UP…TICK TOCK, CLOCKS A WAITING AND ONLY 1 HOUR BEFORE UK COMP CLOSES FOR EVER, COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!
September 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Hey Kimsmum! Did you make it to round two? Hope so. I was thinking that if all of is that cared to would email Volvo; maybe they would consider re-posting the game so we can find all the stuff that’s not been seen. Couldn’t hurt. Strength in numbers, you know? Do you still have the email address?
September 10th, 2010 at 11:38 am
Hi Kim
Sorry for the delay in replying – my computer is in need of urgent life saving emergency vampiration – yes it’s dying.
I did make it to round 2 but I was so nervous I even spelt my name wrong and wasted time correcting it. I got an email from volvo to say I hadn’t won but have yet to receive one that says who has.
I have emailed volvo again at: customercare@volvocars.com This address was on the forum warning about a spoof phase three email. Comment 1629 was from volvo too, but I don’t know how to reply to them from here. This is what I sent:
“Thank you for a great game. I really enjoyed playing both this and the previous Twilight game- “What drives Edward”. Please could you consider re-running the game for a short while, explaining where all the hidden clues were. I would love to know If I found them all and which of the ticker tape clues were just “red herrings”. I am sure I am not alone in this.”
I will keep you posted on any reply I receive.

September 11th, 2010 at 9:37 am
well its over, not to happy that the cursor to choose left or right was often unresponsive/slow, and may of cost me/others the games
October 2nd, 2010 at 6:11 am
Hi Kim
Still no reply from Volvo. Apologies for the delay in replying.Still no reply from Volvo.Did you get anywhwere with them? My computer eventually died and I lost access to all my favourite sites. The new one is so much faster. It’s a shame I didn’t have it a few weeks earlier.
March 25th, 2012 at 3:38 am
Nice post. I was watching continuously this site and I’m impressed! Extremely useful info specifically the last part I care for such info much. I was looking for this particular info for a long time. Thanks and best of luck.
