Today, I don't exactly know why I did, but I clicked an Ad on Facebook. One that said "Umbrella Corp. Is hiring" and had the Resident Evil Umbrella Corporation Logo on it.
Turns out, it looks like a hiring site to work for "Umbrella." If you click anything, someone "hacks the site" and turns to to his page to "show you the truth behind Umbrella"
It's one of those alternate reality games. If you are unfamiliar with what an ARG is..

| Quote: |
| An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants' ideas or actions. |
Basically, it's a game involving real life things, usually to promote a game or movie, and if you play along, you can get background stories, and usually cool stuff that you normally can't buy about the game/movie.
Anyway, I've never got to be in one, and always wanted to try one out, but have always been too late and never seen one.
I was thinking if anyone else wanted to join in it, check it out, and we could always post tips, hints and whatever we've learned in here to help each other along. If it's an answer to one of the puzzles slap a spoiler on it first.

Like I said, click anything, and the page will start to freak and will take you to the "hackers" page. Pretty cool stuff.
