This
Alternate Reality Game (ARG) was designed to promote all the activities available at Fair Park, a public park full of museums and performance spaces.
The game consisted of a series of online clues. Several of these challenges could only be solved by visiting the park or
FairPark.org. For example, players had to find a specific work of art to unlock this puzzle.

To solve the following challenge, players had to identify a book by it’s ISBN, then find a single word within the text.

The game was launched with mysterious business cards handed out at football and hockey games. Thousands of nickels were also left (sticker side down) in malls, parking lots and public transit stations.

A MySpace page created as part of the game evolved into a community of people sharing hints and bragging about their progress.

Players spent an average of seven hours engaged with the game and traffic to FairPark.org increased more than ten-fold.
