So, I randomly received these in the mail today:

And apparently, a ton of other people did as well when I looked it up on Twitter to see if I was alone on this. So, out of curiosity, did anyone else on ERA get these? They seem to be a part of some massive advertisement plan or ARG Event. For what it's worth, I got mine from Los Angeles, California which makes me think it might likely be gaming related? I didn't know where to put this so I thought Etcetera was a safer bet lol

I'd guess it's for Gotham Knights at E3, the Riddler should be a UFO truther

Some people think it's related to Coldplay for some reason? But I wouldn't have any reason to be on a Coldplay mailing list.

It's definitely international, in any cases. Posters have been spotted in multiple countries.

Yeah I don't think it's Coldplay related either lol, a lot of people who got them seem to be streamers/gamers just from a quick search on Twitter and Reddit. Plus, I've never ever seen Coldplay or put myself on a Coldplay mailing list or whatever so I wouldn't have gotten one

I got the star one on the right. I figured this is some ARG (not sure why me, but was addressed specifically to me and I don't even care for ARGs), or it was the Jehovah's Witnesses sending out more stuff (during COVID they been mailing out personalized letters instead of going door-to-door).

Curious to know what the end of it is, but I'll let ARG hunters do all the work.

I'm doing the lazy thing by watching this thread :p I mostly buy from niche companies, so wondering if maybe that was one thing that's in common with how they did specifically me in the address and my SO got nothing.

So, we're all in agreement that this is likely gaming related at least?

Lmfao, this is so weird! How did we all manage to be a part of some random viral marketing stunt?
