->''Hello all. I am Jester. May the games begin.''\\
-- '''[[MonsterClown The Jester]]'''

This AlternateRealityGame took place in TheFearMythos. It has long since concluded.

It all started with Jester. He left comments on a number of different blogs, inviting readers to play a game. When his name was clicked on, it would bring the curious to a strange Twitter account where Jester posted a number of riddles. It turned out that Jester had kidnapped a man named Derek and placed him in a cabin in an undisclosed location. Derek's twin sister, Grace, soon began receiving a number of riddles from Jester, with the promise that they would lead her to her brother. Meanwhile, Jester continued to post riddles on his Twitter feed, as Derek's well-being hinged on the riddles being solved in time.

The game began on July 30, 2011, and concluded on September 8, 2011.
