In this ARG/MITMysteryHunt, the kick-off starts off as the Meeting of Interplanetary Theorists, who voted to demote Pluto. However, the deities of Greek mythology crash the scene and send the hunters to the Underworld. The first part involves finding a way out of the Underworld, but upon doing so, they learned from Hermes that Hades still needs to be restored via the shades in order for the universe to remain stable. Hermes lends the Mercury as a way to fast-travel to parts of the United States to recover the shades and restore Hades/Pluto.
