Dark Knight Viral: Clown Travel Agency’s Bowling Ball Scavenger Hunt

Posted on Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Locations

/Film reader Chris E sent us word that the Clown Travel Agency website has been updated, and the contents of the envelope have been revealed: A new scavenger hunt when involves locations around the world with the message:

“Ready to have a ball? A special bag of fun awaits the first to claim it, but you’d better strike fast, there’s no time to spare.”

As it turns out, all the clues lead to a location where they hand you a package which allegedly contains a purple and green bowling ball, an “Evidence Bag” containing smart mobile phone, a phone charger and a Joker playing card.

Joker Ball

Phone

Thanks to the nice hardworking folk at SHH Forums for the photos. I’m sure when all the bowling balls are found, we’ll be in for a treat.

    Been waiting all day for this, thanks.
  • Trebor
    I wonder what kind of message you will get on the phones you they give you????? Has anyone gotten anything yet?
  • Tom
    Too bad there isn't one close to me. That has to be a coo thing to get. Bummer.
  • The Addict
    Thank you for giving the credit to those (us) guys. We're the people working hardest to get this stuff solved quickest, and so far we're doing a damn good job.
  • Jeff
    Anybody know the Chula Vista address??? I could be there within 15 minutes... damn.
  • jank
    it's probably the bowling alley @ 845 Lazo Court, Chula Vista, CA 91910
  • Ewan
    I would kill a human being for that bowling ball.
  • Trebor
    Actually I think all the or most of the addresses are or could have some thing to do with bowling alleys I actually live like 20 min from the one in Pasadena Tx and I checked the address online and its a bowling alley. I wonder what the stuff you get means? any one have some ideas?
  • The Addict
    They are all bowling alleys. That was confirmed (by me) on the SHH boards 7 hours ago. The balls have a number engraved into them, and they come with a cell phone and charger, and you're supposed to call the number to let them know you have the phone. Later on down the road, they'll call you and have you put together another puzzle.
  • Trebor
    Thnx for the info.....So would it be a puzzle for each individual person that got a ball and a cellphone or an entire puzzle for everybody as a group to solve? Man I hope that it could finish tonight to see whats gonna happen.
  • Christopher Edwards
    Thanks for the mention i was really tempted to go to London from the midlands to pick up the package but everyone told me that it would be a April fools.

    The riddle that was giving was a interesting bit and makes you think how stupid you are that it just turns out to be a bowling ball.
  • The Addict
    "So would it be a puzzle for each individual person that got a ball and a cellphone or an entire puzzle for everybody as a group to solve?"

    Well it's both. The phone people will be working together, along with everyone on the internet helping them out. Sunday night, there were 500 people on the superherohype boards trying to solve an anagram puzzle.
  • Mirko
    I live like two minutes away from the one in pasadena anyone pick that up yet?
  • Trebor
    Cool lol I just read that the Pasadena Tx bowling alley the I was about to go see closed down 2 days before the site went public lol thanx to SHH I didn't look like a stupid guy lol. So if I wanted to help how would I know where to go to help out to solve the puzzle?
  • Polsky

  • Trebor
    lol me too I have just been refreshing the page all day lol 5 more addresses to go w00t
  • BringtheRain
    Update from Portland -

    My wife went to a bowling alley that we thought would be likely for the contest. The clerk said she couldn't help her with the scavenger hunt — then quickly went to the bathroom.

    My wife sat in front of the lockers until the contest uploaded the Portland address.

    At about 2:03, the Web site uploaded, and she was indeed at the right alley.

    But the locker was already empty. There is no way anyone else emptied that locker between when she got there and when the Web site uploaded — it was already gone.
  • Ghost
    Had the Chula Vista address been up sooner I would have been there by now.
  • The Jezzus
    BringTheRain: looks like some employee wasn't playing by the rules.
  • The Jezzus
    3 More to go! I think those addresses will be revelaved in the next 15 minutes
  • WHERES THE TRAILER!

    i love all this running around and harvey dent campaigning and EVERYTHING,
    but JESUS, I am dying for the trailer. COME ON
  • Trebor
    They should be revealed in about 10 min now. I hope that this finishes around 7 pm central time
  • The Jezzus
    After 4? I'm going to be pissed if I have to wait until i get home from work to see what is revealed. They better find those cases FAST after 4:00
  • Trebor
    The new addresses are up 3 more to go and its done w00t
  • BringtheRain
    Wonder if anyone else had problems like we did in Portland.
  • SlowTalkinJones

  • jonnyganas

  • The Jezzus
    We're all flooding the site! hahahaha!

    Well, that's what happens!
  • Trebor
    get on it we only need chula vista
  • The Jezzus
    Why's it taking so long to load? Is it because their a video behind the page?

    Chula Vista will be this Viral's Albuquerque, watch.
  • Trebor
    I hope not
  • jonnyganas
    I've gone onto the next stage. You register with acme security, they call your phone, you say the password. Now I'm waiting to see what happens.
  • The Jezzus
    AHHHHH! We finally get another link and he server is too busy!

    Weak.
  • The Jezzus
    What's the number?
  • Trebor
    It asks for a phone number, name and e-mail to log in to the security system. Then it calls you to confirm your password.

    Then Jim Gordon comes on the line and basically tells us that this was all a trap. We're now all GCPD recruits, otherwise we'll be arrested as Joker Accomplices

    It really makes me sad to think that there are millions of people starving, and homeless, or dying of an incurable disease all around the world, and yet there are so many privledged people who have the time and lifestyle to dedicate to solving a scavenger hunt developed by a corporation to make sure your buying a jumbo popcorn and filling a seat in a theatre this summer.

    Yes, you should all be proud of how "damned hard" you are working on this.
  • nick3pointone4
    um, it's fun, what's wrong with fun?

    so the worlds on fire, everything sucks, people are dying everywhere, and we're not allowed to have fun.

    lighten up, and enjoy the privilege your life affords you.
  • The Addict
    ....says the person that, like us, is on a movie blog site, not quite out curing world hunger either.
  • Joe
