The game
On July 1, 2008 at 9am Pacific time, participants with cell phones receive the following message:
| Wake up, clown! You have *one hour* to reply to be a part of today's fun. /operator |
This leads to Whysoserious.com/Operator, which is a site featuring a dimly-lit stage with five switches wired around. The switches contain a sign - "Waiting for Relay." On the stage are five small metal weights attached to chains suspended from the ceiling. There is also a submission field on the bottom of the page, but it is inactive.
Start
Upon replying to the original phone message via a text, the following response is received by cell phone participants:
| Good. Do not reply again. I'll be in touch.... |
Once the hour deadline was up, cell phone participants who responded received another text message, containing a code word and information for a partner, but told not to share it until give the signal.
