I’m betting its the same group behind Cicada 3301.

Vodulas ,

Why? One is a physical art installation and the other is an internet based puzzle. Doesn't seem to be any kind of connection other than being mysterious. Not saying it is impossible, but seems unlikely

Didn't Cicada 3301 have a geocaching component? Or that was a different game... hm.

Vodulas ,

It referenced existing art, so maybe that is a connection, but seems like a stretch

Right. I remember there was a game about "controlling" areas, virtual but based on IRL geocaching. These monoliths that people place in somewhat remote places, then dismantle them after a few days, got me thinking it could be part of a "find it while it's there" or something.

It's interesting to see they're still going after at least 4 years.

Vodulas ,

That sounds like Ingress, the precursor to Pokemon Go

Right, that one! I forgot the name. So, I wonder if it could be something like that going on.

Vodulas ,

Could be some ARG for sure.
