[TRAILHEAD] The Case of the Coveted Bottle cross-posted from despoiler.org
despoiler.org wrote:
Another hot tip has scalded our Unfiction tongues because we tried to drink it too fast without blowing on it first. We're always doing that.
According to our deliciously inside info, the Case of the Coveted Bottle features "jailbird Sarah Jessica Parker as a central character" and "portrays the celebrity's new perfume as something powerful and also pivotal in an intricate plot to turn the Perfume World on its head," whatever that means. Anyway, I guess you're supposed to sign up to help the crazed blonde's publicist clear Sarah's name and then there was something about prizes too.
We're told registration begins today but we couldn't find a form anywhere so if anyone out there is still sober at 8:17 a.m., maybe you could help us with that before you go off all willy-nilly trying to save some fictional character. Besides, the game ends on October 15th, so you have plenty of time there. Don't be so selfish.

A little birdie told me that this is being run (with much more financial backing) by the same folks who ran Lawn Games For Life. My info stated that registration would begin Monday Aug 5th, so maybe it was simply a typo & reg begins tomorrow.
Ah yes & there will be "prizes" too

^5 nbn Me too!
Sarah Jessica Parker is so hot! I've seen her in a lot of stuff, but my all time favorite is Hocus Pocus.

Looks neat. Although I can't help but notice they misspelled Unfiction, as Unifiction.

Case of the Coveted Bottle OK, I registered - will give it a try. It's great that they are encouraging players to discuss the case. May not be able to play in the bonus rounds unless I can find a video camera to borrow- or get a friend to help me with it.

Am I sacrificing my masculinity by playing an ARG where a bottle of perfume is the grand prize?
Ah well. I'm already over it. I haven't gotten really involved in a game in a long time.
And, well, Sarah Jessica Parker is gorgeous.

Hey there are other prizes.
$10,000 and a trip to New York.
flat-screen TV
You have to register... it is already not recognizing me.
The basic idea:
There are two types of challenges, LEAD challenge and bonus challenges.
The LEAD challenges will be based on the in-game (and onsite in flash) blog and published every Tuesday starting tomorrow for 1o weeks. If you solve all ten of the LEAD challenges you get entered to win the grand prize .
Official rules are to be posted tomorrow. (you know I love to read the rules.)

I don't see where you can sign up yet. Am I being blind?

Go to the site , click "enter site" (enable popups for the site first), click "game & contest," then click "join the search."

Ah, thanks. I had my browser window too small - everything was scrunched together.
Maybe I'll get something 'cool cause I have the same birthday as SJP!!!!
