Albuquerque Cell Phone Scavenger Hunt
Here's a clever civic project: two guys turn the city of Albuquerque, NM into a giant scavenger hunt ground and give out clues, which vary from a small game of Sudoku to a certain item in a certain gallery downtown, via cell phone. Those playing along send their answers back, get the next piece of puzzle and continue on with the narrative, playing out a real life Dan Brown novel (yes, like the Da Vinci Code, except all of his books are like the Da Vinci Code), although hopefully without any dead, naked museum curators or Tom Hanks's bad haircut. Entrepreneurs Toby Fuentes and William Klein don't know how long the game will last, how many clues will be given out or what the eventual prizes will be, but they have the full support of the city and, with any luck, of a large group of players, for their May 1 start.
