Introduction If you are here, you
are most likely seeking information on the online presence (a.k.a. web
puzzle) of the ABC TV show Alias. This "ARG" (Alternate Reality
Game) is in it's 3rd season. The first season was a online puzzle
termed by players as the Alias Web Puzzle. The FAQ for Season 1
can be found here.
The second season was quiet year. Most of the puzzle came in the
form of a web hunt from ABC's Weiss-bot missions. The Season 2 puzzle
was known as the Alias Online Adventure. The FAQ/Trail for Season
2 can be found here.
If you are new to the Alias
Web Puzzle, a good place to start is to review the Season 1 and Season 2 FAQ's as they
list all the historical events/characters/puzzles and solutions.
Then, join the Yahoo
Group Joey's Pizza to jump in and see what the group
is working on.
This year, things have been
quiet so far, but players are still avidly tracking the pushthrough
letters (i.e. highlighted letters shown during the Alias episodes),
mentions of the number 47, and any other items that may arise.
Check
back for any and all updates. This FAQ will expand as the need
arises.
Many thanks to all who contributed to this FAQ, as well as all the
posting members of Joey's Pizza and the unfiction forums. A HUGE
thank you to SpaceBass for the free hosting of this site! Visit Unfiction.com, dedicated to

Reality Gaming. And of course,
an extra large thanks to the Alias crew, Puzzle Makers, Rulerfrog, A

intel was encrypted in a picture of the Vatican and the password to
obtain the intel was "credit dauphine".
Julia's business name was KNG
Microtech. (johnahue42).
KNG was located at 34 Belgrave
Place, Knightsbridge, London (a Sloane Street is close by). The
facility was leased on date November 24th, 2004; so on that date Syd
was already with the Covenant. (isolde_bandrui)

Ro*M*e 47:
When Vaughan takes Syd to
the airport, the plane in the background has a 47 in the tail
number (N764). (zephyr_hex) Other Factoids:
I did a Google search on the only visible full word of the
prescription. Based on that search, and the few visible partial
letters, I've determined that it's either Ampicillin Tryhidride or
Amoxicillin Tryhydride. Both are synthetic broad spectrum penicillins.
The prescribing Doctor was Rocco Lucante, MD. (Cory F)

New H*A*ven 47: Room 47, 4th of July type
fireworks in the background of hallway during the dream sequence, Syd
was dreaming of her 7th birthday party, and the hand was 4 months old (zephyr_hex).
The time shown
on Syd's brain monitor in Dr. Brezzel's flat is 13:47:15 (isolde_bandrui). Other
Factoids:
Lazarey's hand clearly shows a 73 (possibly a 72) (in blood) lying on
its side under the <0> (isolde_bandrui). Screen caps are located in the
Photo's section of the Joey's Pizza group.

Los A*n*geles 47: Unsolved Other
Factoids:
Hotel
Verlustzeit: Verlustzeit in German seems to translate to "lost time" or
"dead time" (equi_design). Verlust means loss, so it
would be 'loss of time' and could in fact project into the future
rather than just into the past (as "lost time" seems to hint at) (isolde_bandrui).

Pushthroughs:(equi_design) Chamoni*X* Los *A*ngeles Zu*R*ich At*H*ens 47: My hypothesis for the "hidden" 47:
1) Toni Cummings profile showed her ID as B3487, and age 37. 2) Syd's
CIA badge showed her number as: 2568463-87. 3) The Laser Link
Triangulation number was 487.2948.AF39 4) Maser Status number was
487.2987.1103987.494. So all in all, that's seven 4's and seven 7's. (equi_design)
There are quite a few more
47's per Isolde_bandrui.

Case 47

I just went through my tape of 3.16 "Taken" and found a lot
more 47's than are listed. Here they are:

Nogales
2.The results log for the people who accessed Sark's flight info was
numbered 001247114545

(haven't analyzed all yet)
4.A 47 was shown on Dixon's map of DSR facility when opening the steam
grate

Chec*H*nya 47:
Lauren went missing
between 2:10-2:47 P.M. Marshall was looking at
surveillance footage from 74th Street. On the suspected Lauren's
license plate was 4WYG463 (G4=74) This is a bit of a stretch: There is
one 7 in 2:10-2:47. There is one 7 in 74th street. There is one 7 in
4WYG(7)463. Nadia was #7 in the infirmary.That gives you 4
sevens. (johnahue42) Other
Factoids:
Marshall was looking at
surveillance feeds from 74th Street, 5th and Grand Street, and
Frontage Road. (johnahue42)
Sark and Lauren tortured
Vaughn at 4384 Alfano Street (johnahue42)
Nadia reversed is Aidan. Her
last name (I got this from spoilers)is
Santos. Santos means Saint. Her name is Aidan Saint, or Saint,
Aidan. Weird...(johnahue42

ultimately would end in "Peace revoked" being a Sloane reference (isolde_bandrui).
Alice in Wonderland References in Alias
Syd's Halloween
costume: Alice (S1)
Vaughan's
ex-girlfriend was named Alice (all)
Syd's first edition of
Alice in Wonderland burned in the apartment fire (S3)
Weiss gave Syd a 3rd
edition (S3)
Syd falls through the
"looking glass"/mirror at the end of Season 2 (S2)
Syd wakes up and uses
the code word "looking glass" as a confirmation when calling Kendall
(S2-S3)
Snark/Sark (all)
6th Birthday part (in
flashback) Sydney is kind of dressed like Alice (S3)
Passcode "Top Hat"
could be a Mad Hatter reference (S3)
Sloane makes a
reference to Sydney not being a pawn in the game. Irina tells Sydney
she's one of the two major players in the whole Rambaldi deal. In
"Through the Looking Glass", Alice is a pawn in a chess game. (S2)
Syd uses the codename
White Rabbit during an operation with Noah Hicks, episode Snowman. (S1)
Less concrete
ideas (shwoa.rm):
Rambaldi mechanical heart = Queen of Hearts; Syd ends up in
geographical opposite side (Hong Kong) of where she started when she
hit the broken mirror (California) (S2)
Broken watch in
Blowback could be a reference to the White Rabbit "I'm late... I'm
late" or the watch at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. (S3) (alkisailor & willingthrall)
Allison Doren sounds like Alice in
Wonderland (Alias Magazine).

John--
Thanks for inquiring... We're
still working on it -- but, hopefully, it'll be up soon.
Thanks for the info. I was
wondering: could you give me a rough estimate on when the website
will be active to feed back to the troops to give them a little
hope? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks <0>
Still awaiting reply, but
since he was so nice the first time, I think he may be able to give
us a preliminary date. Whaddy'a think? Return
