Players use clues to "find" the scepter, taking in a tour of the city as they search. To make the quest more challenging, each entry in the book has been sliced up and jumbled. The only way to reassemble it - and identify the site it describes - is to use a code sent to you by text. Then another text arrives with a question that can only be answered by visiting the site itself. Send the correct reply, and you get a new code to move on to the next site. The clues can lead to any of 60 landmarks...

In 2001 he developed an online condom adviser, which provides printable measuring tapes and instructions to help men determine which condom, out of all the brands available in Germany, will fit the best. According to Krause, more than 300,000 people have used the free service...
...much media attention as Michael Phelps gets, there are certain things the world's best swimmer keeps to himself. He has never, for example, talked about his personal Olympic goals. Winning eight gold medals, he says over and over, is a quest that the media have concocted. Other than saying that he wants to win one gold medal coming out of the Games, nobody knows what kind of meet in Beijing would make him happy. His goals are between and U.S. coach Bob Bowman and himself...
