A competition to win a bound proof of ICE SHOCK…with a twist

ARG ice shock


That doesn’t mean you get a twist of lemon with the bound proof of ICE SHOCK, btw.

It means there’s a twist in the competition; a twist that I’m only telling you guys here on mgharris.net

Firstly though - the competition. I announced this over on themgharris.com - you can read the full story there.

The basics are - you have to take the deciphered message of the code in INVISIBLE CITY and discover the single word that Josh has buried within the text. The code was a replacement code that over one hundred readers correctly deciphered. But what most people haven’t known until now is that there’s a second code.

And what I haven’t told anyone else yet - is that this word is a Very Important Clue in the Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that we’ll be launching along with ICE SHOCK.

So even if you don’t win the bound proof of ICE SHOCK - you can still crack the clue and be ready for the ARG.

One more thing - the method that you need to use to decipher this clue is also used by Josh in ICE SHOCK to crack a very cryptic message about his destiny…
