I'll have to go over everything in greater detail at a later time. I'm pondering what one of the stretch goals was (something about twice the number of components to interact with the artifact).

Professor, I believe this is what you're remembering.

Holy cracker jacks! Just got mine. Opened the crate, took one look and closed it again, unable to cope this late in the evening. After a few minutes I went into the kitchen, grabbed a couple of things, as well as a bottle of tea and two babybels (cheese) for nourishment. Am now diggingvthru to find further treasures.

I would imagine that it will roughly coincide with the blueprint, though I could be totally mistaken.

That did occur to me. But who has an available empty space that size to which it can be devoted for days?

You must not play tabletop games.

The only thing I can think of is that it feels a lot like

A stereoscope

Maybe the fifth mailing will be a bit more than the traditional black envelope? Including an insert and ephemera?

Some possibilities:

SPOILER: Click to show

The jigsaw puzzle, which I assume none of us have fully put together yet, may shed more light on the situation. It may also be what they consider "interactive". It's certainly hands-on.

The code on the tongue at least involves some kind of puzzle/interactivity.

SPOILER: Click to show

The fifth mailing will likely have a lot more to it than just a black envelope.

I'm thinking the third option is most likely, but who knows.

You know, one other thought about the fifth mailing.

SPOILER: Click to show

The picture with the coded message on the back, the one of William wearing the mask, shows an item in his hands and a way for him to be wearing the mask hands free. Could the fifth mailing be that item in his hands?
