Head Of Sales & Marketing, Mind Candy

*** Editor's Pick From The Web ***

Imagine CSI, crossed with LOST, 24 and Heroes. But, imagine those shows as bitesize online video, whenever you want them, wherever you want them. Imagine them as a global detective mystery where hundreds of thousands of viewers all play a part in cracking a case. Where you can play a part. Imagine them where they spill out into the real world, where looking for evidence can literally mean scouring a real world crime scene. Where interviewing a suspect can mean talking to one over the phone. This is a next-generation Alternate Reality Game. This is Perplex City Season 2.
