Yy 2006, a rudimentary alternate reality game was launched across multiple Doctor Who tie-in websites; I currently have little data about it, so I'm collating any useful information here for now. This page will be expanded heavily, and hopefully a better name will surface.
WAIT THERE IS ACTUALLY A PAGE FOR THIS ON THE WIKI ALREADY - damn, the coverage of these websites is botchy on this Wiki. GAME: Torchwood Mission Game.
- In DWM 367, James Goss announced that Series 2 would feature "dozens" of inter-related sites featuring interactive games, to create "the most ambitious online fictional world ever".
- These stories were written by Joseph Lidster, produced by Rob Francis, and created by games company, Sequence.
- In Have You Seen This Man?, Steve M. mentions that the Doctor wrote 23 6 801 on a wall; this seems to be a recurring sequence of numbers across these websites.
- Apparently a bit of misleading fun on the production crew's part.[1]
- Ian Smith
