Ooh! Good spot Liberty :)

Though im not entirely sure the Game is actually ready, as you get an odd pop up asking for some sort of FoxFilm password, and once you do get to the game, its just some bizzare never ending Spot The Difference game involving a section of the classic Van Gogh painting "Starry Night", which doesnt seem to get any more difficult as you progress though the levels....

However, it does state that the game it intends to link to is the "Supply Search" game. As you may recall, the Concept Art Image associated with the "Supply Search" game which we saw before (i.e. here) was the one with Caspian and Edmund walking amongst the Moeraki Boulders on the beach....

Since they are linking to that game from Magician's Island, one might assume that the image of the Moeraki Boulders which accompanies it is also from The Magician's Island.... That would then confirm that the shot of the Pevensies in the Trailer which also featured the Moeraki Boulders, is from Magician's Island too. That would then link in with the similarity between the style of pillar seen behind the Pevenies, and the style of pillar seen in Coriakin's House.

Why would the Pevensies be on the Magician's island? I guess because of the book of magic it could be anything. I still dislike the idea that it is a flashback though. Why would the Pevensies have ever gone beyond the Lone Islands? It doesn't make sense at all that it is a flashback because Lucy and Edmund are wearing their clothes from the ship.

Such a weird scene.

Why would the Pevensies be on the Magician's island?

I agree there is no way it could be a flashback because Lucy and Edmund are wearing their current outfits. I believe that whilst Lucy and Edmund are in the shot for "real", Peter and Susan are part of a Magical Illusion conjured up by Coriakin for whatever reason, possibly as a show of proof or intimation towards the Dufflepud's.

Thats the explanation that's always made the most sense to me, and most of the evidence (the Pillars and now evidently the Boulders) is certainly pointing towards Magician's Island as the location.

Either way, I kind of hope that regardless of whoever's benefit the spectacle is for, say the Chief Dufflepud or whoever, that their reaction to seeing all 4 Pevenises back in narnia is "Impossible!", echoing back to the repeated line in the last two films. I think that line would pretty much sum up the thoughts of everyone here when they saw that the first time too.

EDIT: For completing the bizzare Van Gogh Painting Spot-The-Difference, i got a new piece of Concept Art in the Background of a Menu. Looks like the Narrowhaven quayside in the foreground (i.e. the part of the set they built out at The Spit):

Plus the background of Coriakin's House you get when you complete a regular level. Note that the clouds abundant in both images are not part of the artwork, but rather are extensions of the overall cloudy backgrounds for the game page.

I agree that the Magician's Island seems more likely then the Lone Islands. I am okay with magical illusion or dream. I just dislike the idea that it is a flashback.

I think what makes the most sense to me is that it has something to do with Caspian.

Yeah, I think i'm gonna hold off on posting about the new game until they get it a little more complete. I'm still getting errors when I try to open it. Cool though!
I also noticed they fixed the floating tree tops. ;))

I don't get any error message for games. But when I click on Lucy in the image and click on 'game' it immediately goes to "supply search" game in a new window -- not "spot the difference." I wrote my experience playing this new game for AC.

I didn't have any trouble with the game itself. But when I clicked on more games or leaders it would just take me to the main Narnia.com page. I got an achievement for playing the game but it was for playing Dragon Creator and I played Supply Search. =)) Apparently there are a few bugs to work out. Has anyone found today's (Aug 10th) treasure? I'm not sure what the clue means.

Edit: Never mind I found it.

It links to Supply Search game for me as well.... but i still get the error message and the Supply Search game itself is still a basic Spot the Difference type game involving Van Gogh paintings for some odd reason.

It sounds like in your report that the finished game still follows a basic Spot The Difference format but with Movie screenshots instead? Are they of anything new or interesting? Would love to see some screencaps if they are :)

EDIT: So i relaunched the game in a different browser, and it loaded up the "new" version of the game - instead of 8 identical Van Gogh prints, you get the 4 standard images from the Imagery Gallery. Something tells me its still not quite finished yet. I'd be expecting something that actually vaguely resembles a Seach for Supplies given that the game is called "Supply Search".

If you go to the characters section on Narnia.com and go to Drinian's page, look just to the right of the upper right corner of his description. One of the swords the crew is holding looks blue. :-o Is it just the lighting, or is this one of the seven swords we keep hearing about, and if so, why is one of the unnamed sailors holding it? :- Any ideas? :-??

Sorry, I'm not seeing a blue sword. I just see a sword with a grey-blue tint but it's mostly just a different graduation of grey to the other swords. It's probably just the lighting.

There is a scene where the sword is glowing blue (Sting in Narnia? hmmm...) I don't know what it's doing there, as there is no reference to a blue sword in the book. Maybe it's the stone knife glowing blue on Ramandu's Island, and it only looks like a sword because of the angle? Or it could be one of the "Seven Swords"...I really don't know. But I do remember seeing it.

I don't think Dinode is talking about the scene in the trailer where Edmund stands atop the VDT's mast, holding aloft the blue glowing sword.

I'm not talking about the trailer, I'm talking about the character pages on Narnia.com on Drinian's section. I hope you're right Warrior 4 Jesus about the lighting, but we know that there is going to be a blue sword from the trailer, so it would be an odd coincidence for another sword to look blueish.

I think the large text box which appears over that image on the official website perhaps calls undue attention to that sword by focusing your gaze on it, as it cuts in neatly with the right hand edge of the box.

If you look at the image in full, you will see that there is nothing special about that one particular sword, and that all the regular crew members in fact carry identical swords.

Like you said, its probably just the lighting and picture quality that give almost everything on the image a sort of blueish haze. It almost reminds me of the horrible "day-for-night" blueish haze that we unfortunately saw lots of in the last two movies (more so LWW), but not quite.
