Perhaps... we'd need someone to go there though. Nothing in the source.

Someone said there's nothing in the source, but I found deltaonezero.com, which looks like it was an ARGish game. This might be something, but you never know
EDIT - Here's what I found in the source
<!-- //// we did deltaonezero.com //// -->
<!-- //// 'the connection' is next //// -->

If memory serves, Delta OneZero was an live ARG-ish game that happened about two years ago in Sydney. It was very cool, from what I remember.

I had an email conversation with the owner, and they are the company responsible for deltaonezero. They are currently developing a new game, apparantly one which will incorporate interactive elements much more than the internet. It's called The Connection.

Here's the end of the last email.

We have written and produced a lot of artwork and
plans and we are now in talks with various partners. We are planning
"episodes" of the same story line to be played in different countries.
There.

over hear (Australia) there was a "cross-media gaming experience " not exactly an arg but a step in the right direction, it managed to attract a quite a few people. this type of event will help the genre grow (imo).
There is no reason to believe the reindeer group is a game (imo). They have had a website up for ages
