Lockjaw

In September of 2001, a Wired article outlined the creation of a new interactive online mystery game, code-named Lockjaw, created by members of the Cloudmakers , an online community that grew around the 2001 online promotional web-game for the movie A.I. The article really only gave one solid clue about the game, mentioning a fictional biotech company named Ganmed, so players waited and watched for something related to Ganmed to show up on the web.

At the beginning of February 2002, www.ganmed.com went live, so that was the cue that the new game was beginning. The Cloudmakers created themselves a new group dedicated to this new game, calling themselves the JawBreakers . The Jawbreakers Group on Yahoo (along with the IRC channel #jawbreakers) was sort of mission control for the players of the game, where new discoveries were reported, and ideas were bounced back and forth. It is also where you can find links to the other main resources to review and see how the game played out.
