New ARG? Cathys Key http://www.cathysbook.com/?gclid=CN-2k76y05ICFRUvlgodcEg9Gg I was on gmail, and one of the news headings showed this site. It's obviously sponsored by some wireless company. There is a number to call, 650-266-8233. the instructions on the page say its completely fictional character's journal and to call the numbers you find and URL's. It says on the front page "Look at everything in my book. Call the phone numbers. Check out the websites. But you can't tell ANYBODY about it, unless you want to end up in over your head, like me"
I'm at work so i cant call or investigate very far...
[Fi - I have renamed this thread from "Book" to "Key" since the latter is the new bit!]

I poked around a little bit on the site listed in the trailhead and found if you click on "Departure Times" you are taken to a website Called "Cathy's Key" on that site there is a Cockroach wondering about from time to time. If you click the cockroach (not easy) you are taken here:

By the number of videos I would guess this has been going on a little while. Doesnt look like my kinda thing but I will keep my eye on it.

Looks like you have to buy Cathy's Book in order to do anything with it. It's like some sort of interactive novel.

For what it's worth, I've been getting Cathy's Book ads in my Gmail pretty frequently for the past week. Incidentally, I just finished it, and have been discussing it over email, but these ads are showing up in apparently unrelated email contexts. Looks like they've amped up their campaign in anticipation for Cathy's Key.
Anyway, Cathy's Book has been out for a couple years now (2006, right?), but having just finished it, I'm eager for the sequel next month.

It's been out for a while. It's definitely mostly book-based, but it's a fun read.

There's a review here .
Also, I'm so pleased Cathy Briggs is working with them again - her art is stunning.
