Networked

Gauntlet, the new trendy social networking site everyone’s talking about. Customizing avatars, virtual games, forums, microblogging, photo and video sharing, text messaging, and real-time services. What doesn’t it have?

Over 100 million users actively browse the site daily. No wonder those old applications aren’t receiving traffic; they’ve been on Gauntlet.

One year and four months later, a two-hundred and fifty users were reported missing after receiving an anonymous letter signed by the creator of Gauntlet. Two weeks later, a second round of users have disappeared. Where could they have gone?

Five hundred users were sent to a white room where they have been transported into a virtual world based on the website. They must study their environment, partner up, and be willing to do the impossible to survive.

Do they all have what it takes?

A collection of multinational companies have teamed up to build a simulation reality to inhabit. They selected five hundred people to test their prototype. Those selected must challenge their ability to survive in this unexpected, glitchy, and dangerous new world. Will they make it to the end?
