Yay! Someone else who has seen the commericals. This game has been
going on for about a month now and has a lot of really great features
in it: Minor real time updates daily with major puzzle updates once a
week or so. At least 4 real world interactions so far. And a bunch of
cool swag (Treos have been given out at least once).

Well, unfiction is only "involved" in the fact that is where all the
major discussion is taking place. The link from stolena3 was added
once a bunch of trolls started posting all over the boards complaing
at how fake this all was and how they didn't like being duped
(because they thought they were clicking on an ad for a game designer
called Virgil Tatum and not a cleverly disgusied game that's an ad
for Audi).

Besides unfiction, there is a quick start guide (
http://soogees.com/stuff/heist/ ), a Trail (
http://heist.smirkbox.com ), a Wiki and a chat room ( #heist at
irc.chat-solutions.org ). It's still not to late to start playing -
all of us in chat & the boards are more than willing to answer your
questions.
