The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

Thanks for joining us on IRIS and Halo 3 Believe

Submitted by AKQA on Sat, 12/29/2007 - 2:15pm.

Good morning everyone.

We just wanted to take a second at the end of the year to thank all of you for playing with us this past year. We are AKQA, the agency who worked with Bungie to create the IRIS ARG (http://halo.wikibruce.com/Characters) and the Halo 3 BELIEVE experience (www.halo3.com/believe).

Our goal through all of this has been to expand the Halo world, making it possible for fans to keep playing even when they are not sitting with a controller in their hand. And thanks to gamers like you, both of this year's efforts turned out to be a huge success. In fact, you may have been too good at participating: there were moments back in IRIS where you were solving episodes just as fast as we were creating new ones. Your speculations were so solid in fact, that we included some of your ideas in the next steps of the campaign as well as in the back-story of the Believe characters.

We hope it was as much fun for you to participate as it was for us to create.

Also - the Halo 3 Believe site is currently up for the Flash Website of the year. If you have a moment, please link over there and click VOTE for Halo 3:Believe.

The more people who hear about it, the more people we can get involved in Halo 3.

Thanks for all the excitement, we will see you in multiplayer,
AKQA

BTW- Great story on the college kid who was getting tons of IRIS phone calls. That took us completely by surprise and after that story, we had to make sure than any code numbers we used didn't turn out to be an actual phone number.
