The Hanso Foundation is was first mentioned during the second season of lost in the episode 'Orientation.' The Hanso Foundation was indicated as the funder for the Dharma Initiave. The mandate of the Hanso Foundation has been stated as; The Hanso Foundation stands at the vanguard of social and scientific research for the advancement of the human race. However, due to the current situation the losties find themselves in - that is subject to question.

The Hanso Foundation Website 

In July 2005, subsequent to the airing of the episode 'Orientation'. ABC registered www.thehansofoundation.org. The website was taken down for remodelling at the end of March 2006.

On April 24, 2006 ABC Announced that they were launching an interactive game based on the hit TV show "Lost." The "Lost Experience" will follow a storyline not parallel to the show, but promises to offer clues that could unlock some of the island's many secrets.

On May 2, 2006 The Hanso Foundation website was reopened. However, mysterious behavior began to occur when visitors attempt to sign up for the newsletter. The AI interface is taken over by PERSPHERONE - who indicates that you should call the number in the commercial for a clue to the password.

CODE #1: The Commerical & 1-877-HANSORG 

On May 3rd, 2006 ABC aired a television commercial for the fictional organization 'The Hanso Foundation' from the hit tv show 'Lost'.

The commerical displayed a toll free number for the organization 1-877-HANSORG. For those who had visited The Hanso Foundation website - knew that the message at the end of the phone number would provide them with a clue to cracking the code to the Hanso Foundation website.

CODE #2: OB:EY 

If you attempted to access Perspherone in the newletter, after the May 10, 2006 airing of Lost "?", You likely found that there were "no new messages". Disapointing wasn't it? Don't worry they haven't left you empty handed.

Wait out the feedback noise, catch your flash of Joop and as the page is returning to normal note that the time on the clock has been replaced with the letters:

OB:EY

The letters are a link that opens a new website in a pop up window:
http://www.sublymonal.com/

At Sublymonal you are presented with a chime of the lost theme music and 6 TV's. See if you can "turn on" the next code.

Once you have the code - search the page for a hidden link - this will bring you back to the Hanso Foundation bios page. Read the bios of the Hanso Foundation founders for more clues!

FYI: The OBEY & www.subLYMONal.com clues are brought to you by Sprite. OBEY comes from their slogan "Obey your thirst" and subLYMONal is a subliminal poke at their new flavor LYMON. How very cryptic!
