WINDSOR, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Sleuthinator.com LLC combines aspects of an ongoing fictional story, a puzzle-solving game, and a marketing tool for companies that want potential customers to visit their websites.
Players are offered cash prizes for reading the story, finding clues, and solving the puzzles, with no costs or hidden fees involved. Sponsors pay a nominal fee to have their websites incorporated into the storyline where players must visit to find the clues. New puzzles will be presented approximately once a week.
The story, game, and website are rated "G" - so players won't be required to visit any sites that contain objectionable material, or require the release of any personal information. Todd Eastman, a freelance writer, came up with the concept and design of this new website which features "Sleuthinator," an artificial intelligence cyberbeing, and "Johnny Sweet," a human hacker. Both have been accidentally sent back in time to our present day, and now reside on the Internet where their game of cat-and-mouse plays out.
The website is online and accepting sponsorships, with the first contest to begin on May 1, 2007.
