Hey everybody! not sure if this the right section but i just wanted to let you all know about this game:

"This game is a student project that aims to show how 7 million people connect and become the game with the most number of players ever. It's about finding new ways of communicating an idea and crossing the boundary between the internet and the real world.

You can join the game if you find an invitation. An invitation is an internet address that looks like this: www.lost.eu/example- but instead of the word 'example' there are some random numbers and letters.

There are invitations written everywhere - from beaches in Mexico to train stations in Poland - on the internet and in reality.

Once you have joined, you can win by scoring points. To score points you must invite other people to the game in the most creative way possible, using a unique link that is given to you. www.lost.eu/yourlink

Each time you invite someone, a timer on your profile resets. If it ever reaches zero, you lose.

When the game reaches 7 million players the player who has survived with the highest score will win $5000, and the top ten $500 each. A prize will also be given to the best photograph of an invitation.

Is there something else? Maybe. And if you can survive until Level 2 without losing the game, maybe you will find out ..."

I found a link to the site with StumbleUpon... thats how I got in, but if you wanna join too, then you need a link! www.lost.eu/46321

Join and have fun! :D
