Earlier quoted context omitted.

This isn't for google, it's some marketing thing for upcoming movie "The Imitation Game" (based on Alan Turing).

The footer has links to Google. Unless Google is now doing movie marketing. This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.

I got to that site through this movie trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sX... if you look at the paper at 3 second mark you can see the address "146.148.62.204". But now i wonder if its somehow connected with google

If anyone involved is reading this -- please make the timer a bit more obvious. I opened the link, went back here, then made a quick wikipedia safari and when i got back to it timed out with no indication that i can restart it. :( edit: The console could use a little error checking, if the request dies (i had referrer disabled), it prints "requesting xxxx..." and then nothing. Tsk, tsk :)

clear cache and cookies and refresh

Doesn't work. Upon completing the crossword the page auto-submits the solution and gets "403 Forbidden" in response. Something got broken somewhere or someone has pulled the plug.

tried it out, still works. Try clearing cache and cookies and restart. Also use a mainstream browser

Wow! You clearly pay attention... I wonder if I would have noticed this. Thanks for sharing!

Somehow, google must have to do with this, either google paying weinstein for displaying this or weinstein paying google for making this a social media booster.

This game is not working correctly on my browser (FF33). I tried several times and waited until the end because nothing was happening... then tried with chromium and it did work :-/ (btw noscript is turned off)

FF33.1.1 (on Archlinux) is working fine here. In addition to NoScript, you probably need to disable any extension that forbids cross-domain cookies as the relevant cookies are registered for https://ig-game.appspot.com/ and not a raw IP.
