Prologue

(February 29)


DancingKids' package
Packages including memorabilia related to the 1920 Summer Olympics are delivered to a number of people around the world. Contained inside are postcards, a poster and a ball of yarn. Written on the backs of the postcards are the following messages:

March 3, 2008
Find her...

March 4, 2008??
Find the others...

March 5, 2008??
Find him...

March 11, 2008??
Find the secret...

August 24, 2008
Save the world.

Inside the ball of yarn is a piece of paper that includes a reference to Findthelostring.com. All the website contains at this point, however, is a message to Ariadne explaining that the site is being worked on, and should be up first thing Monday morning... signed, "Kai"

Chapter 1: Find her...

(through March 3)

Findthelostring.com goes live on the 3rd of March, to reveal the blog of a woman named Ariadne. Through a series of posts, she explains her unusal situation.

On the 12th February, Ariadne awakes finding herself in the centre of a corn maze (labyrinth) near Johannesburg, South Africa. She's wearing blindfold-like goggles and stretchy workout clothes. On her arm is a tattoo which reads "trovu la ringon perditan", Esperanto for "find the lost ring". Discovered alone in the maze with no memory, she's taken to a hospital where she spends a week under watchful eyes. The doctors' analysis shows there's nothing wrong with her, other than having an extremely rare amnesia, and a body in excellent Olympic-caliber condition.

While in the hospital, Ariadne meets Kai, a San Francisco based "technology whiz kid" on an adventure holiday. Fascinated with her story, he takes her under his wing. Before leaving Johannesburg, he sets her up with a month's rent and a laptop computer. He also sets up her blog and website, and suggests more features will be added.

Since being found, the same recurring dreams plague her each night. In the first dream, she relives the moment she awoke in the labyrinth, but the second is something new. She finds herself surrounded by five other pairs of blindfold goggles, and picks them up one by one. By the time she has all six pairs she is finally calm again. She thinks this may be a message, maybe from her subconscious memory.


Finally she shares a video blog, summing up the other entries. There have been absolutely no leads as to her identity or history, friends or family. She asks whether anyone recognises her, and if they have any ideas to let her know.

Chapter 2: Find them...

(March 3 - March 5)

Scouring the internet, from youtube to social networking sites for non-English speakers, we found others who were also seeking help figuring out who they are and why they woke up with tattoos they do not understand. We find the homepages of Markus, Diego, MeiHui, Lucie, and Noriko. They've all awoken in labyrinths of different sizes or styles. We help them get in contact with each other, but the language barrier proves difficult.

We dig deeper into the circumstances of their awakenings, and find out more details about the attire each wore when they woke up - various kinds of blindfolds, athletic clothing, shoes. They're having dreams, of curves, lines, patterns. Ariadne discovers she is quite adept at learning T'ai Chi - surprisingly so; mastering over a hundred poses in less than a week. Doing a little research reveals that her skill can be attributed to 'kinesthetic memory' - muscle memory (she doesn't remember anything, but her body remembers what it's good at).

Someone named Larissa leaves a message on Ariadne's blog, saying she knew a person four years ago, Renata, who was also an amnesiac on a strange mission. Renata went missing, and now all Larissa has of Renata's is a necklace.

Chapter 3: Find him...

(March 5 - March 10)

Ariadne suggests doing more research on the Olympic Games. So we look at the Official Olympic Games site. Mostly innocuous-looking... but what's that on the lower left-hand corner? A banner linking to a podcast series on "The Lost Games: Ancient Olympic Mysteries." Perhaps the Lost Games have something to do with the Lost Ring...

The Lost Games site turns out to be full of intriguing ancient trivia. But what's even more intriguing is the FAQ with historian Eli Hunt, especially the last item:

Q: How do I find the lost ring?
A: For the last time, I have no idea what you're talking about.

It is clear that this man knows more than he lets on. We plead with him to tell us more. At first he denies knowing anything about the matter, and even after we explain to him about the six amnesiacs he refuses to do more than hint that the mystery is too dangerous to look into.

But he does let slip that he has an upcoming lecture in Cardiff. Ariadne jumps on this information as an opportunity to confront Mr. Hunt in person (see trailer III). She succeeds in persuading Mr. Hunt to share his secret-- which leads us to the omphaputer.
