 		The Game
A puzzle trail contest from the group at Ringorang
The fine folks at Ringorang have opened up a small puzzle trail-ish contest. Details from the contest announcement:
Quote:
Here's your task: You need to figure out "The Answer" based on the clues that we give you. Now, we're not going to just give you a clue, you're going to have to figure it out, whether it's deciphering a blog entry or twitter entry, answering a question or understanding a video.

I think a few of you have played this game before. If the clues end up being "Boston Celtics," "Marshmallows," "Milk" and "Battle Creek," then The Answer is Lucky Charms.

The first person to get it right wins a gift certificate from Fandango.

This is probably the unique part of the contest; each game we play will be of the personality of the Ringorang team member that came up with it. Therefore, the clues you will eventually get will be based on the person that is leading the game. Also, the person leading the game will give out clues at their own pace. Someone might give out a clue a day, others might give out all the clues in a day. You might have to go to 1 site, or maybe you have to go to 20 sites (and if you get lost, blame the game conductor =P).

Oh, and one more thing, we'll only tell you where to go first. It's up to you to figure out where to go next. You don't have to have all of the clues to figure out The Answer, but it definitely will help.

The first contest has just gotten underway HERE.
Also be sure to check out the links under "Check us out" as they may provide more clues at some point.

Oh, and apparently I just lost the game Sad

 		I got to a "stopping point". Seems as though this is going to be a week long thing?

 		Depending on who is running it for a particular week, the clues may be staggered throughout the week, or might all be given the first day. For this maiden voyage I'd guess that it will be more spread out, but I can't be certain.
