Background
The game ran on Google Maps: players typed in the place they thought the next clue was hidden, then solved a Flash puzzle at each marked location to unlock a short scene pointing to the next stop. It was commissioned by Sony's then advertising agency, DraftFCB, as part of the launch promotion for Drake's Fortune.
