When I visited their website, my unyeilding JavaScript geek had to know what kinds of frameworks and libraries they were using on the site (jQuery and SWF - yawn). As I was examining things using Chrome's Developer Tools, I noticed that there was a line of JavaScript that effectively gives away all of the names of the 20 daily challenges.
If you're interested, here's the list of puzzles:
"id":1,"name":"Pig-spiration Point" "id":2,"name":"Ye Olde Mappe Shoppe" "id":3,"name":"The Dine-in Hall" "id":4,"name":"CMG-TV" "id":5,"name":"The F.Y.I. Freeway" "id":6,"name":"The Live-stock Exchange" "id":7,"name":"A Quiet Mountain Town" "id":8,"name":"Open Pasture" "id":9,"name":"CHIP Radio Tower" "id":10,"name":"The Shady Internet Café" "id":11,"name":"Cow Country" "id":12,"name":"Free Range Press" "id":13,"name":"Culinary Secret HQ" "id":14,"name":"Museum of Naturally Raised History" "id":15,"name":"Carnitas Call Center" "id":16,"name":"Farm and Charm School" "id":17,"name":"E-potle" "id":18,"name":"E-potle" "id":19,"name":"Chipotle Studios" "id":20,"name":"The Final Countdown"
The next question is whether they do a good job of securing the puzzles, or will their site will hand out unexpected information when the game begins? Wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen - ask me about the DQ "virtual scratch-off game" (years ago) that was written in SWF and sent "select * from ...." statements to the database via HTTP (not HTTPS). Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
Stay tuned!
