Flash Forward ARG Community Wiki

Tracking the Global Blackout

He who foresees calamities suffers them twice over - D. Gibbons


Welcome to the wiki for FlashForward! This site is a reference intended to display information regarding the alternate reality game platform for the ABC TV series created by Brannon Braga and David S. Goyer.

The first evidence of a possible ARG was folded into the commercial breaks of the ABC series LOST on April 29, 2009. Viewers were exposed to short (five second) visuals of a black background with teaser video clips covering disparate subjects. The cryptic question is then displayed: "What did you see?"

To get the original style of delivery, go here (but remember to come back, right?): What Did You See? #1 Here is a rolling sequence of the entire batch: What Did You See? #1

After searching the internet for "What did you see?" one prominent result (being that it was a sponsored link) offered up: Sponsored Links. The Mosaic Collective Note: This link (and mosictaskforce.com) has now been merged into the "Join The Mosaic" site page and has therefore passed into "ARG Heaven."

When it functioned, those who offered up their e-mail identities got in return: "Your submission has been received. The Mosaic Collective is dedicated to connecting the world one experience at a time."

Around 6 May, 2009 a new batch of clips were aired and included the whispered phrase: "Just because we saw these things, doesn't mean they're gonna happen."

What Did You See? #2

On 13 May, 2009 this promo aired during the season finale of LOST: FlashForward Promo #1 The next night, this one showed during the season finale of Grey's anatomy: FlashForward Promo #2

On 29 April, 2009 a Twitter site became live: whatdidyousee

Returning to themosaiccollective.com and reentering your e-mail would get you a photo. An example would be like: Colisium Samples of others included: sample vision sample vision A total of ten images rounded out the selection.

When entering a keyword to answer the question "What did you see?" you might get: 217 people saw the same thing, your participation may be vital or: 9 people saw the same thing you reported. The Mosaic Collective may contact you soon for further information.

The trail seemed to be getting warmer for the players...


Then things started popping.

San Diego Comic-con (23-26 July, 2009)included a booth called "FlashForward" which participants could enter and record their own personal vision of the future. Thebruce, a veteran ARGer, recorded his video and was taken to a second location for an additional interview by a Marcie Turoff of the Mosaic Collective. A good example of the booth recording is this example, using thebruce: TEST SUBJECT #137

A POI going by the name of Oscar Obregon was also seen videotaping the booth and some of the Comic-Con "Boothers", interviewing some of them. This same Oscar Obregon was later seen attending the panel event for FlashForward. When Oscar, who mysteriously got into the microphone queue for those asking questions, identified himself and that he was from TruthHack.com. His question was quickly rebuffed by David S. Goyer but the trailhead was established by that sequence as well as the interviews of the people who offered their flashforwards to Marcie Turoff, Intelligence Analyst, Mosaic Collective.

The same day as Comic-Con, Oscar's site of TruthHackwent live with this clip: Edition #1 - The Global Blackout Strikes On 4 August, 2009 this video clip included an explanation of the environment and the exchange between Oscar and David S. Goyer. Edition #2 - Comic-Con
