Abstract
An interactive, multi-media game system and method is provided. In a preferred embodiment, an audio and/or visual playback system contains portions of a prerecorded narrative stored therein. Teams of players cooperatively solve puzzles, obtain information fragments and directional clues, and ultimately solve an overall meta-puzzle that can be in the context of the narrative. The players move between the portions of the prerecorded narrative and the puzzles that are positioned at selected locations in a defined space. The players solve threshold puzzles to permit them to access, or reaccess, selected portions of the narrative on the audio and/or visual playback device. The players gather sets of information fragments to solve a global meta-puzzle.
