Puzzled by all the videos?
Yes, there have been a couple videos released lately and I can tell you that there are at least 3 more on the way. So that you don’t get confused I wanted to sort it all out for you.
Pre-game videos
There are two of these. The purpose of these videos is to help set the stage for the game by describing the alternate present that players will be immersed in. The first video is out now, the second will come out in a few weeks. Be sure to watch them.
Downfall Parodies
These are fun videos. Hitler considers himself a puzzle master and is desperate to prove it by getting his name in the Cluechaser Hall of Fame (which will be back up shortly). Through the three video series he (and you) will learn about some of the new twists to Game 3: Chasing Shadows. Hopefully you get a laugh or two out of them.
If you haven’t heard of or seen any Downfall parodies they are all over Youtube. People are taking clips of the German movie “Der Untergang” (Downfall) and adding their own subtitles; often with quite hilarious results.
Pre-launch puzzles
These aren’t videos but will provide you with the all important key to gaining access to the start of game 3. I will provide plenty of time for people to solve them and they won’t be difficult. They’re intended to be a little warm-up before the game.
Hopefully that will help clear up any confusion.
Game 3 will have a heavy emphasis on videos, the reason for which will be clear during the game. Also, because I like making them.
If you’ve got questions feel free to shoot me an email.
