Hmm.... Nokia has put a new mini-app, 'Secret' in the Download! 'What's Hot' folder for many handsets. On running it, you have to enter a four digit code from the web site www.openatownrisk.com, in order to view a wierd and wonderful video clip. At least in theory. In practice, the web site's currently 'down' and I haven't been able to guess the code. '0000' is interesting, though.... Shout if you get anywhere with it.
Read on in the full article.
I opened the website steve. There is a scanned letter!!!how are we supposed to guess the code. just out of the blue or what??
Well, the source code says in the meta description:
"
Hundreds of years ago, scientists, artists and members of Royal families gathered to produce a clip of grand weirdness. A clip stranger and more amazing than anything that had ever been made before. But the clip turned out too weird! People went mad from seeing it and it was too much for the common man to handle. Thus the clip was locked away, in a mysterious box with four seals. The knowledge of how to break the seals has been passed down from one generation to another, hidden within the technological masterpieces of history. Edison�s light bulb, the Wright Brothers� airplane and Apollo 11 all held the secret of unlocking the box. A secret that can now be found within Nokia Download service, allowing the public � you, to find the key to break the seals. And see...the weirdest clip. Ever made..."
Hmm.
So...will this cause me to have an acid flashback
Hi!
Well, as from the text within the sourcecode of openatownrisk.com I would think the code is refering to the a new nokia phone, as next technology masterpiece. So what do rumours say? What is the name of the next anticipated device?
(On the other hand this would possibly mean, that the clip is only a teaser for that device - doesn't it?)
Has anyone tried with the model# of a new phone? 5800, anyone? Secret doesn't show up in my Download!, so I can't try it.
Anyone tried 8285?
nope, neither of those two work....
...to unlock the original game on the openatownrisk.com you needed to change the (fruit machine style) dials to be all the same icons.... simple concept!
..has anyone tried the code 1111 (all events in meta data were 1sts, plus it was Apollo11)
...I cannot get the app from my Download folder for some reason?
I have tried the following numbers
987
5551
7773
4444
1234
4567
8912
7777
734
0
1111
2222
3333
5555
6666
8888
9999
5800
7540
5000
None of these have work. Starting to make me go a bit crazy.

I cant help but feel theres something in the letter thats supposed to give it away.
And its just the letter on google cached as well. Damn.
has anyone tried those 4 numbers "accidentally" hanging out of some of the thick black lines?
...eh...the web sites changed...I'm now listening to whale music and being asked about the ring tone in the secret folder in download (which I STILL can't get lol)
Ehhh, its odd.
Ok.
Theres 4 locks. One you have to simply use the code, thats easy.
Another you need a webcam for, which needs to look at the wallpaper in the download (although, my tshirt seemed to do the job).
Another needs a mic to listen to the ringtone you can get, although someone else has this working, it either doesnt detect my mic or ignores it.
But no-one can seem to get hold of the video, its not in download.
I did some searches on other sites. The website address was around some time ago with a counter for a launch on 7th July, when nothing happened. Soon after the launch date the letter was put onto the site, and trail went dead.
Today it's showing in downloads with a code, we need someone who can work out the crypt on it. I haven't got the smarts for this, and random checks probably are too hard. Any ideas?
Can anyone open this URL flash? My browser is getting stuck at 25%.
http://www.openatownrisk.com/index.html
Perhaps that's the idea, until I give it the image, tone, code etc?
It doesn't detect the sound from my PC either
Works for me (WinXP SP2 with FF3).
Tip: don't bother with the mike and webcam bits, just click on the right arrow to advance to the silly video.... 8-)
Er.... Nokia? What's this all about? Is there any point to this other than keeping Flash animators in employment?
Imo its obviously a boost to try and get people looking at 'download!' on their phones.
But its the same sad story as Ngage, but worse.
They should have done this after a revamp, the stuff on download! is still, quite frankly, crap.
Its like a very badly done advert (the video still isnt on download!) which is advertising how bad nokias apps service in comparision to Apple's effort.
Shooting themselves in the foot really.
...baaaaaar..gone back to the 'letter page' again...j
Yeah!I've got the t-shirt.
Me too 😊
But nothing else more .... 😞
Well,yes,but at least it was interesting.
Doesn't seem to be in my Download! application (N95 unbranded firmware, UK). I've tried refreshing the lists in all the sub-categories.

Definitely.
At the moment Download is barely changed since it was introduced (that must be what, 2 or 3 years ago now?).
They seemed to reorganise it a tiny bit a few days ago with clearer folder titles, but that was all.
It's weird that Nokia don't revamp Download, because it must be a gold mine in terms of software sales if they can make it easy enough to use. There are probably tens of millions of phones with Download icons on them, and they're even putting Download on Series 40 now which would bring in hundreds of millions of people.
Its still missing things like the beer glass thing. Yes, utterly useless I know, but apple has this on its app store already. And yet most N95 users dont know it exists because its on some website somewhere. And the Symbian version has been out for ages, over a year I think.
Same with the lightsaber app.
And I wont start on Nokias website version again, I'll just say that somehow they have made it even worse to navigate than the phone version! That takes some doing.

It's missing approximately 99% of S60 apps, and even more Java titles.
There are literally hundreds of great games and applications that people might want to buy, what reason does Nokia have for NOT including them in Download?
Nokia's snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by failing to make Download more comprehensive and easier to use.
Even most good freeware stuff is missing, which you'd think they'd want to add as it would make the phone more useful at no extra cost to Nokia.
It's also weird that different phone models have totally different selections in Download, even when the models are completely compatible. Why is "Snakes" available on some S60 Download sections but not others?
Is Nokia offering unreasonable terms to publishers, so that only the biggest companies get a place on Download? If so, that's pretty short-sighted as they could be making a lot more money by offering a large selection of titles and taking a share of the sale price.
hey guys ive solve it for the code just download the application and then enter the numbers which appears in the application will give u another number thats the code and then enter it simply 😃
