A Fistful of Face

This hot tip is on the fast track as our sources tell us the campaign is slated to end on Sunday. That’s right, less than a week from today! It’s too bad that Google Custom Time feature wasn’t technically real. Wait, what are we talking about? We could totally backdate this post and fool everyone into thinking we were on top of things! No, you’re right…too far fetched to be believable.

According to our saucy secret source, “At the 5 second mark a QR code is shown on screen. Viewers have already figured out that it is significant, but have not yet scanned it.” What’s the hold up, anyway? Also, what is a QR code?

Faceless Invasion had its first event one year ago, a masked, alternative reality, city-wide scavenger hunt that pushed its players to their extremes. One girl got a tattoo of our logo, teams had to pull off very fast engineering and hacking challenges in a matter of hours, plus there were countless unspeakable sex acts performed on camera – all while wearing Mexican wrestling masks for every on-camera second. Over 100 clues were solved/tasks were completed within the span of the 12 hour game None of the 60 players identities have been revealed thanks to a disinformation campaign that spread dozens of false rumours about the identities of the players across the social and public web.

The organization, which has been decentralized from day one, has spread to New York with a considerable on the ground following – and opposition. The new game, however, is completely different from the old. No more sex, no more point systems, but the same principle of sharing the entire game experience, on the web, in real time.

So, there you go. It’s like SF0 but with more depravity and set in New York City! Except they got rid of the sex (who’s the advertising wizard who came up with that idea?!).

We’re not exactly sure whether or not it’ll turn out to be an ARG but what the hell, check out the video and the website anyway and, if you’re interested, jump on into the Unfiction discussion. Don’t mind us, we’ll just be over here taking a Crying Game shower.
