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...

He is also growing more detailed in his policy proposals. The word legislation, hardly found in his early speeches, is now mentioned regularly...
...fell into two general topical categories: abortion, and the assertion that Obama is the Antichrist. The cataloging of similarities Obama shares with the Antichrist began nearly two years ago. But it picked up steam in February 2008 after he racked up a string of impressive primary victories. A Google search for "Obama" and "Antichrist" turns up more than 700,000 hits, including at least one blog dedicated solely to the topic. A more obscure search for "Obama" and "Nicolae Carpathia" yields a surprising 200,000 references...
