Ghost Patrol
I haven’t posted about this before, but the puzzlehunt team that I captain, Meat Machine, spent a few weeks in late June/early July preparing an application for Ghost Patrol, a Ghostbusters-themed Game coming up in November (likely the only full-length Game of 2008).
A large part of the application was a “creative project” that could take one of three forms:
- building a ghost-capturing device
- creating a video commercial or print marketing campaign for the Ghost Patrol corporation
- making a video displaying your attempts to capture a ghost
Meat Machine decided to satisfy the first category, albeit in a rather loosely-interpreted way, and the “device” is located here. Feel free to participate (in character, ideally).
In any case, since three of our team members are in the national finals for the Great Urban Race during the weekend that the actual Ghost Patrol Game will be held, Meat Machine was actually aiming to participate in the full playtest in October (good Game Controls will typically run a complete dress rehearsal a few weeks before a Game). I’m pleased to report that we’ll be doing so.
