| ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERSION: UNITED STATES Page 1 of 10 Endgame Contest Official Rules, Terms and Conditions By participating in any portion of the Endgame contest (the “Contest”), you accept and agree that you are subject to, bound by and will comply in all respects with these Official Rules, Terms and Conditions (the “Official Rules”). It is your responsibility to be familiar with the Official Rules throughout the Contest Period (as defined below). The Official Rules will be available at www.endgamerules.com (the “Official Website”) throughout the Contest Period. You must comply with these Official Rules in order to remain eligible to win the Contest. Any violation, attempt to violate, or failure to comply with these Official Rules or any applicable law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, privacy or cybersecurity laws or the terms and conditions of any software or other license) (“Applicable Law”) may disqualify you from the Contest and subject you to liability under such Applicable Law. Chance plays no part in the Contest. REGISTRATION The novel Endgame: The Calling is about the search for a hidden key. The Contest consists of numerous puzzles and associated clues, and the print and electronic versions of the novel (the “Book”) contain some of the clues and puzzles to be used in Stage 1 (as defined below) of the Contest. Before participating in the Contest, participants must register for the Contest at www.keplerfuturistics.com and provide all requested information for Contest registration. Participation in the Contest requires (i) the Book; (ii) access to and use of the internet; and (iii) a standard Google internet account. Your progress throughout the Contest will be tracked by Third Floor Fun, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and you will be provided with a website where you can access certain information about your progress throughout the Contest. In order to access such information, you must be logged into your Google internet account. Purchases made in connection with mobile device applications affiliated with the Book will not help participants progress in the Contest. You are not required to download, use, or play the games offered by the mobile device applications related to the Book in order to participate in, or win, the Contest. RULES OF PLAY The Contest is offered by the Sponsor. HarperCollins Publishers L.L.C. (the “American Publisher”) is not, nor is any other publisher in any other jurisdiction (collectively with the American Publisher, the “Publishers”), a participant, sponsor or administrator of, or in any way responsible for, conducting the Contest. The clues contained in the Book may be useful in solving puzzles in the Book. The clues contained in the Book may lead you to other puzzles not contained in the Book, or the clues may be textual clues, visual clues, codes, cyphers and/or hyperlinks that lead to search results, image results, videos, mapping coordinates, stand-alone websites and/or social media. The Book may include information that could be construed as a clue, but may not be one. It is up to you to determine which information is useful in solving the Contest puzzles. Every participant will receive the same clues and puzzles (although clues and puzzles may be made available to some participants earlier than other participants based on the speed at which they solve the puzzles, as explained below). Audio versions of the novel do not contain the visual clues necessary to solve the Contest puzzles. Although efforts have been taken to ensure that the information provided by the Sponsor for the purpose of allowing you to participate in the Contest is complete and accurate, some Contest clues and puzzles may appear inaccurate or in error. Some information may appear useful, but is not necessarily a clue. However, errors may inadvertently occur. If the Sponsor finds any inadvertent errors, the Sponsor will ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERSION: UNITED STATES Page 2 of 10 use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the error. If you find something | |

| ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERSION: UNITED STATES Page 2 of 10 use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the error. If you find something that you believe is an error, you may notify the Sponsor using the contact information at the end of these Rules. The solution to each individual puzzle will ultimately lead to additional puzzles, until the final puzzle is reached. Some of the puzzles that must be solved in order to win the Contest will not be available on October 7, 2014 (the “Start Date”). Accordingly, completing the last puzzle that is available at any given time does not necessarily indicate completion of all the puzzles included in the Contest. Contest puzzles will be released in two stages during the Contest Period. The first stage (“Stage 1”) of the Contest begins on the Start Date. The second stage (“Stage 2”) of the Contest will be divided into three phases, with the puzzles associated with each such phase being released on three separate dates. The date on which the puzzles in a particular phase are first made available will be determined solely by the Sponsor. These dates will be disseminated to the Contest participants using the contact information provided by participants at the time of Contest registration. A participant’s access to the puzzles in each phase of Stage 2 will be determined based on when the participant solved the puzzles of the preceding Stage or phase of the Contest relative to other participants. Participants who solve the puzzles more quickly will be rewarded by gaining access to the next Stage or phase before participants who finished the puzzles at a later time. Early access to subsequent puzzles will be determined by a 10:1 ratio. After all of the participants who are entitled to have early access to the next phase of the Contest have been provided such early access, all remaining participants will be granted access to such subsequent phase at the time they successfully complete all puzzles in the preceding Stage or phase. For example, if Player C finishes phase 1 of Stage 2 after (i) the date on which the first puzzle in phase 2 of Stage 2 is made available and (ii) every participant who was entitled to have early access to phase 2 of Stage 2 has been provided with such early access, Player C will receive immediate access to the initial puzzle in phase 2 of Stage 2. Information related to the release dates for the puzzles in Stage 2, including how to access the first puzzle in the next phase of the Contest, will be disseminated by the Sponsor to the participants using the contact information provided by participants at the time of Contest registration. The Sponsor, its direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Sponsor Parties”), distributors, web designers, advertisers, fulfillment providers, insurance agencies, judging agencies, anyone involved in the administration, development, fulfillment and execution of the Contest, including, without limitation, any entity that contracts with the Sponsor to display the Grand Prize (as defined below) (which, as of the publication of these Official Rules, is Desert Palace, Inc. d/b/a Caesars Palace), and each of their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies (collectively, the “Contest Parties”), and the Publishers assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the fact that all or certain portions of the Contest may not be provided to all participants simultaneously or for a participant’s failure to begin a particular portion of the Contest at the moment in which such portion of the Contest is made available to such participant (regardless of the reason). For the avoidance of doubt, any party that contracts with the Sponsor to display the Grand Prize (which, as of the publication of these Official Rules, is Desert Palace, Inc. d/b/a Caesars Palace) and/or any of its affiliates and/or parents is a Contest Party, but is not a Sponsor of this Contest, and the Publishers are not Contest Parties. Purchases made in connection with mobile device applications affiliated with the Book will not allow participants to access puzzles associated with the Contest and will not assist participants in advancing in the Contest. The first person eligible to win the Contest who is able to solve all of the puzzles of the Contest will receive a key that will unlock the Grand Prize. Neither the key nor the Grand Prize is located in any location where participation in the Contest would require or involve disrupting, disturbing, defacing, or trespassing upon any location, object, place or surface. The puzzles can only be solved by applying your individual intellect and skill. Chance plays no part in the Contest. If you participate in the Contest (i) in a way that is disruptive to any other participant, (ii) in a way which may be seen to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other participant or person, or (iii) in a way which gives you an unfair advantage over any other participant (including, without limitation, attempting to ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |

You expressly agree not to make public, regardless of the medium, what you believe to be a correct or incorrect solution to any of the puzzles (or portions thereof) included in the Contest. Failure to comply with the previous sentence may result in your immediate disqualification from the Contest. You can use only one Google internet account to participate in the Contest. Use of more than one Google internet account by you to participate in the Contest will result in immediate disqualification from the Contest. ELIGIBILITY The Contest is not open to any director, officer, employee, or agent (or a director’s, officer’s employee’s or agent’s immediate family or household member) of (i) the Sponsor; (ii) any Sponsor Party; (iii) any Contest Party; or (iv) any Publisher. You must be a natural person who is at least thirteen (13) years old to participate in the Contest. However, if the jurisdiction in which you reside requires a higher age of eligibility to participate in promotions similar to the Contest, such higher age of eligibility shall apply. Individuals who have not reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside are required to seek permission from their parent or legal guardian prior to participation in the Contest. To be eligible to win the Grand Prize, the winner of the Contest or the winner’s parent or legal guardian, as applicable, must sign the W-9 Form (as defined below), the Affidavit (as defined below) and, if permissible in the respective jurisdiction, submit to the Background Check (as defined below) (collectively, the W-9 Form, Affidavit and Background Check will be referred to as the “Prize Documents”) when, and if, requested by the Sponsor. The Prize Documents must be returned to the Sponsor within the applicable time periods identified below. The Book may be purchased by anyone wherever the Book is sold. However, your eligibility to participate in the Contest will be determined by the Applicable Law in the jurisdiction where you reside and these Official Rules. The Contest is void to residents of any jurisdiction in which participation in the Contest would violate Applicable Law. HOW A WINNER IS DETERMINED The first eligible participant to solve all of the puzzles, receive the key and have such verified by the Sponsor in the manner set forth below, will be able to open a case containing the Grand Prize. The Contest will run from the Start Date until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the puzzles have been solved, the key has been received, the winner has been verified, and Sponsor has publicly announced the winner of the Contest, or (ii) October 7, 2016 (the “End Date”) (the time period that the Contest runs will hereinafter be referred to as the “Contest Period”). The Sponsor will contact the first person who has solved all of the puzzles in the Contest using the contact information provided by the prospective winner at the time she or he registered for the Contest. If necessary, the Sponsor will continue to contact persons who have solved all of the puzzles in the Contest, in the order in which they completed the Contest, until an eligible participant has been verified the winner of the Contest. Until the Sponsor has publicly announced the winner of the Contest, the person contacted by Sponsor agrees that she or he will not make any public announcements during the Contest Period on social media websites, blogs or other media platforms that she or he has solved all of the puzzles or that she or he has been contacted by Sponsor in connection with solving all of the puzzles. The Grand Prize will be awarded to only one winner. In the event that no eligible participant has solved all of the puzzles by the End Date, subject to the other eligibility conditions contained herein, a winner will be determined by the Sponsor based on which participant has advanced the furthest in the Contest during the Contest Period pursuant to the Sponsor’s internal tracking systems. The verification process will require a prospective winner to demonstrate, to the Sponsor’s sole satisfaction, successful completion of each of the puzzles included in the Contest. In the event of a tie, a skill-based tiebreaker puzzle will be given. In order to maintain his or her eligibility, the winner (or his/her parent or legal guardian, if applicable) will be required to execute the Prize Documents.

| ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERSION: UNITED STATES Page 4 of 10 Only one person can win the Contest. Accordingly, collaboration between participants is strictly prohibited. If, notwithstanding the aforementioned express prohibition, participants collaborate in the Contest, such collaborating participants, by participating in the Contest, release the Sponsor Parties from any liability in connection with any agreement or arrangement they may have among one another. If, for any reason, any Sponsor Party incurs any costs or expenses, including any legal expenses and costs, in connection with an agreement between collaborating participants, all collaborating participants agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse such Sponsor Party for any and all such costs and expenses. THE GRAND PRIZE The winner of the Contest will receive a prize of gold coins valued at approximately U.S. $500,008.00 as of August 11, 2014 (the “Grand Prize”). The Grand Prize must be accepted as awarded and there is no cash substitution allowed. There shall be no prizes other than the Grand Prize. All applicable tax liabilities arising from winning the Grand Prize are the sole responsibility of the Contest winner. In non-U.S. countries, the Grand Prize, or a portion thereof, may be withheld pending receipt of confirmation of appropriate taxes being paid or withheld. The prospective winner must sign and return to the Sponsor, within five (5) business days of being notified by the Sponsor that the prospective winner may have won the Contest, an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (collectively with any other relevant tax reporting form that the Sponsor deems to be reasonably required by the relevant jurisdiction for a similar purpose, “W-9 Form”). At the end of the tax year for which the Grand Prize is awarded, the winner will be issued an IRS Form 1099 (and/or any other relevant document depending on the winner’s country of residence) reporting an amount equal to the value of the Grand Prize for income tax purposes. The winner must report the Grand Prize to the IRS or any other relevant taxing authorities in accordance with Applicable Law. If the prospective winner: (i) fails to sign and return the W-9 Form within the required time period; (ii) does not provide to the Sponsor (or any party acting on its behalf) a unique, personal and valid social security number assigned to herself/himself personally within the required time period (or its equivalent in the relevant jurisdiction); (iii) is not properly registered with tax authorities; or (iv) has not fully complied with tax regulations in his/her jurisdiction, so that the Sponsor (or any party acting on its behalf) cannot accurately report the tax liability associated with acceptance of the Grand Prize, the prospective winner will be deemed to have forfeited any and all right to the Grand Prize and the next person to solve all of the puzzles during the Contest Period, receive the key, and be verified by the Sponsor will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, a skill-based tiebreaker puzzle will be given. The winner should seek independent tax counsel regarding the various tax implications of winning and accepting the Grand Prize. The winner could be required to take time off and travel to or within the United States in order to collect the Grand Prize. It is the sole responsibility of the winner to make arrangements to collect the Grand Prize and any costs incurred in connection therewith shall be at the winner’s sole cost and expense. The winner will have to cover his/her own travel and accommodation costs necessary in order to collect the Grand Prize. However, there are no costs or fees charged by the Sponsor from the winner in order to collect the Grand Prize. PUBLICITY AND PRIVACY The prospective winner will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability and Publicity Release (the “Affidavit”). The Affidavit will confirm that the prospective winner meets all eligibility requirements for the Contest and is not in violation of Applicable Law. If the prospective winner is found to be in violation of Applicable Law or any rule, term or condition of the Contest, the prospective winner may be disqualified using due discretion and, in such case, the Grand Prize will not be awarded to that person. Disqualification may occur, if the violation led to an advantage of the prospective winner towards the other participants in the Contest. In the event the prospective winner is not the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which he or she resides, the minor’s parent or legal guardian will be required to execute the Affidavit in order for such prospective winner to claim the Grand Prize. If the prospective winner or the parent or legal guardian of the prospective winner, in the event the prospective winner is not the age of ENDGAME CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERSION: UNITED STATES Page 5 of 10 majority, refuses to sign the Affidavit within five (5) business days of being requested to do so by the Sponsor, the prospective winner will be disqualified. In the event of disqualification, the next person to solve all of the puzzles during the Contest Period, receive the key and be verified by the Sponsor will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, a skill-based tiebreaker puzzle will be given. Subject to Applicable Law, the winner shall grant the Sponsor Parties, the fully-assignable, absolute, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable right and permission to use the winner’s likeness, image, appearance, voice, name and/or any material based upon or derived therefrom (“Likeness”) in any manner or medium now known or hereinafter devised, for all commercial and non-commercial uses. The winner shall accept any publicity associated with winning the Contest as sole and complete consideration for executing the Prize Documents, and shall waive and shall not be entitled to any claim for additional compensation or remuneration related to the use of the winner’s Likeness (unless such waiver is prohibited by Applicable Law, in which case, winner shall accept a portion of the total Grand Prize, to be determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, as consideration for such waiver). The winner consents to the Sponsor Parties doing or failing to do any act that would otherwise infringe the winner’s “moral rights” or other equivalent statutory or common law rights. The Sponsor may require the winner to participate in publicity events related to the Book and the Contest, except where prohibited by Applicable Law. The winner may be required, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, to submit to and cooperate with a confidential background check to confirm eligibility and to help determine, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, whether the use of any such person’s name or likeness in advertising or publicity for the Book or the Contest will bring the Sponsor into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or otherwise reflect unfavorably on the Sponsor, the Book, or the Contest in the Sponsor’s sole discretion (“Background Check”). A Background Check will be consistent with Applicable Law and no individual under the age of eighteen (18) will be subject to a Background Check. The Sponsor reserves the right to refrain from conducting any advertising or publicity associated with the winner for any reason. Except as otherwise contemplated in these Official Rules, information collected by the Sponsor in connection with the Contest will be used by the Sponsor in accordance with the privacy policy posted on the Official Website. Information collected in connection with this Contest may be shared with the Contest Parties, the Sponsor Parties, and any of the Sponsor’s other partners, including without limitation the Publishers (collectively, “Information Recipients”). By participating in the Contest, you expressly grant the Information Recipients the right to use such information for any and all purposes that are permissible pursuant to Applicable Law and not in violation of any of the Information Recipients’ then existing privacy policies. The Contest Parties, the Sponsor Parties and any of the Sponsor’s other partners may have their own privacy policies that differ from the privacy policy applicable to the Contest. The Sponsor encourages participants to review the privacy policy of any other website they may visit in connection with the Contest. LIABILITY DISCLAIMER The Sponsor Parties and the Publishers and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability with regard to any of your actions in connection with the Contest, including searching for the key, and you will be solely responsible for any liability or damages in connection with your violation of Applicable Law or any damage to property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Publishers are not Sponsor Parties. None of the Sponsor Parties or the Publishers shall be responsible or liable if you reside in a jurisdiction that does not allow this type of contest. None of the Sponsor Parties, the Contest Parties, or the Publishers assumes any risks, liability or costs incurred for anything that you or any other individual does in connection with the Contest. None of the Sponsor Parties, the Contest Parties, or the Publishers will be liable to you for any damages, personal injury or death arising out of or in connection with the Contest or these Official Rules.

| Endgame The Calling - Estimate the global progess of the players How are you progressing Endgame treasure hunters Due to the drastic rules about Endgame puzzles discussion and the usual reticence of them to communicate what they think they are alone to have solved, it's not easy to estimate how quick the puzzle are solved. And then not easy to estimate if you are late or far early regarding the others. I'm trying to figure it out anyway. And I try to communicate about that wihtout giving any clues. What everybody knows: the Keplerfuturistics, i guess it's quite clear for all that the 3 eyes must be opened by solving puzzle. The most advanced image I saw, is actually there: http://egpuzzles.blogspot.com/2014/11/endgame-calling-stone-iris-in-progress.html.I didn't see or read anything about the third still opened eye... Now, how many people are playing, and how much have solved a part or all of the kepler room. 85 000 players have solved the first puzzle From what James Frey said 2 days ago (http://egpuzzles.blogspot.com/2014/11/endgame-calling-meet-james-frey.html. It seems that about 85000 players would have solved the first puzzle !!!! 85000 !! it's huuuge !! Well, now we could ask oursleves, what did he called the first puzzle. Is it joining the full-of-bullshit-site-everyone-knows-but-idon't-want-to-talk-about ? Well, can we call that a puzzle ? Anyway, today there is 2,296 comments on their site, counting the post older than the start of endgame. It's quite a lot anyway, but we are far from the 85 000... of course, not everyone write a comment when arriving there, but I still think 85 000 is enormous. One more thing, there is some way to know how many people have clicked somewhere, and somewhere leading to a room-you-see-what-I-mean, maybe the easiest, is said to have only been clicked 634 times from october 2014, and less of the half are unique visitors. Somewhere there is something that doesn't work very well.... I would be interesting in knowing how many books have been sold so far, if someone knows ? | |

| Endgame The Calling - The impenetrable gothic puzzle IMO we have there the most impenetrable puzzle. Hard to find any patterns, don't know if it must be translated. I don't even know if it could be translated. Do we have to find the oringinal source? What about the pictures ? | |

| Endgame The calling - Masquerade and other treasure huntings / puzzles James Frey frequently says that the Masquerade story/puzzles inspired him for writing that kind of book. If you are curious to see what the Masquerade puzzles/story was, I found this link that contains the paintings and solution/analysis: http://bunnyears.net/kitwilliams/masquerade/.If you are intersted in long term treasure huntings, you could also take a look, by curiosity, to the mythic french chouette d'or. It lasts since the last 20 years... And its creator has been inspired, in a way, by Masquerade too. I'll try to find english articles about the chouette d'or. I'll keep posting later on other puzzles and treasure huntings. If you know some interesting ones, from any places/languages, please add them in comments, it's always good when we are looking for inspiration.... | |

| STONE: PART ONE
TINY.CC/glwvcx DR. LIN HUI CHIN Unregistered Biomedical Facility, Biopolis, Singapore
Dr. Chin uses the small joystick to zoom in tight on the old man’s left hand. On the room’s largest monitor, she watches his fourth finger make tiny up and down shuddering movements on the pressure sensitive pad. One by one, letters appear on the monitor’s ticker: T-E-S-C-STOP-I-S-STOP-T-H-G-G-G-G… A waste. She had known the imprint would not take in so old a subject. Pulling the joystick back toward her, Dr. Chin looks at the semi-conscious old man strapped to the table. What will become of him? He will remember nothing of his time here and therefore, according to policy, will be returned to where he was found. This is not her concern. On screen, she sees the technician standing patiently by the door of the subject’s room. Dr. Chin pulls the console microphone close to her mouth and holds the transmit button. “Discontinue infusion of Serum B. Administer forty milligrams bolus of Diprivan IV push q ten minutes until loss of consciousness is achieved. Abort trial. Subject 5483 unfit for imprinting.” The technician moves toward the hanging drips. Dr. Chin closes the audio connection without waiting for a reply, leans back in her chair and sighs. She permits herself three minutes to indulge her frustration, then turns her mind back to work. Above the console are eight smaller monitors showing similar rooms. Subject ages and genders differ but the setup is the same: a partially sedated subject secured to a recliner compulsively repeating a specific set of micro movements. One subject taps her foot, another flares a nostril, a third clenches his jaw. Customized motion and pressure sensors track these micro-movements and feed them into the system. Dr. Chin’s software automatically decodes the feeds and posts the translated text into a ticker at the bottom of each monitor. She watches the words scroll by beneath a zoomed-in image of a middle aged woman’s nostril: …W-A-T-E-R-P-L-E-A-S-E-T-H-I-R-S-T-Y-W-A-T-E-R… Good. Another successful imprint. Dr. Chin has achieved much during her eleven years at the facility. She is now able to imprint a message upon an unknowing carrier with a success rate of 92.3%. She has held fatalities under 4% for over a year. Soon, her achievement will be recognized by her superiors. Her hard work, rewarded. Dr. Chin reflects on the beginning of the project and their first trial subject. A seven-year-old boy with a shaved head. Small, even for his age. His body bore a great many scars. The imprinting process was less refined at that time. Messages could not be embedded within micro-movements. Instead, Dr. Chin had to create a series of involuntary behaviors to act as camouflage for the message imprint. Convulsive “tics” were cultivated. The cerebral scarring proved intensely painful for the boy. Every session, the boy cried. But in the end, it worked. TINYCCGLWVCX was imprinted onto the boy’s contortions in Morse code. One teeth rattling shiver meant “T.” Two face clenching blinks meant “I.” And so on. Dr. Chin wonders what happened to the boy. It is unlikely he survived. But this is not Dr. Chin’s concern. It is lunchtime. And it is spaghetti Tuesday.
