Sony pictures has released a faux website for the Sombra Group company:
The Sombra Group | Bringing You the World
On the website you can find a link to a mobile app which includes a "NCP Scanner" (North Central Positronics) which reveals hidden secrets when certain images are scanned. As far as I know there are 4 images that can be scanned. One came from Stephen King's twitter page, one from Idris Elba's twitter page, one from Matt Mchonehuey's twitter page. The fourth image is the cover of entertainment weekly - the Dark Tower issue, of course.
Awesome and creepy... but why? What does it mean?
Well, I certainly don't know the answer but I have a feeling there's a puzzle to be solved. If you poke around on the app, you'll see a section called "For Employees." Clicking on that section leads to a prompt for a username and password.
Also I've discovered that there is a second website for the Sombra group. Icanshowyoufearinahandfulofdust (yes, just take out the word 'the.') This website is extremely cryptic. I wont go into details about it because I think you should experience this yourself. I thought maybe it was a fan site created a while ago, but apparently the website is only 2 months old.
I don't know abut you guys but I love puzzles, so if anyone has any ideas about all these clues, please share!
::edit:: The site automatically turned the urls into links with the descriptive titles. the website urls look like this: www. thesombragroup .com and www. sombragroup .com
