CNET News.com Article on The Vanishing Point Game

The Vanishing Point Game

Daniel Terdiman recently interviewed me about my experience with The Vanishing Point Game, Microsoft’s unique marking campaign for Windows Vista, for his CNET News.com article: “Building Vista buzz with a puzzle”. The article featured some of the photos I shot after receiving the mysterious package from Microsoft.

It started with a cryptic ad on an official Internet Explorer blog, and it quickly led curious puzzle players to what may be one of the most ambitious interactive sweepstakes in history.

I’ve have visited the vanishing point game website and watch the video and though hey this was pretty easy, as some of the clues are given. Boy was I wrong. If you ever shaw the Germany boy on youtube.com that throws the biggest fit, I kinda felt the same way when I started to play this game. I know I have it, and it’s right in front of me. If you can help, email me @ kendee@hotmail.com
