What is Plexata?

Plexata is an online/reality game that uses existing material on the Web to support a mysterious conspiracy taking place on this planet and beyond. Players solve interactive puzzles using a custom game engine, interact with fictitious characters and entities, visit physical locations to collect clues, and research all manner of unexplained phenomena to discover information that will help solve the mystery.

Game Status

After running for about 2-1/2 months in 2001, Plexata is currently offline, pending funding to continue development.

Player Comments

The following comments were offered by Plexata players in response to notice of the game being put on hold:

"I stumbled upon the plexata site not too long ago... I have to say, [Tactile Media] did quite a nice job... I was truly impressed by the quality (artistic as well as challenging) of the [multimedia] puzzles.... I'm definitely looking forward to a future storyline, and hope they find a way to continue."

"I'm just feeling nostalgic about the game.... I really miss it."

"I am a disgruntled Majestic player - just cancelled the subscription... So far in Plexata I am completely confused and stuck, and I haven't even started! FINALLY. Nice to not be spoon-fed."

"I signed up only to be disappointed that I was apparently too late, but since there is still a chance of things starting up again I will be monitoring the group and hopefully will get in on any new stuff."

"I had heard of Majestic and it didn't interest me, but Plexata sounded cool. So far I have not been disappointed... It's been fun."

"Plexata research MUST continue. If there is anything I can do to insure the project's continuation, please contact me."

"...I'm very happy I stuck around... I felt I made a difference. I even manged to solve a little bit of a puzzle!... So to any [game developers] who might monitor this... please come back soon!"

"As a member of the Plexata Complex, thanks for a very nice time. I see the first installment is done and I hope that the [game developers] muster up the funds to get this outstanding experience up and running again."

"I really liked where the story was going, and how it was emerging... it really fit the subject matter. It makes more sense that an alien conspiracy set in the present day would be this mysterious and relatively loosely controlled..."

"Sad to see this over."

"COMPLETELY sucks that it's going on hiatus...  I was loving it!!!"

"Just as America and the world are rallying against the acts of terrorism which killed so many innocents, let us rally against the untimely end of the Plexata conundrum."

"A heartfelt thank you goes out to the PGC (plexata game controllers) from me and I'm certain all of us who have been following the 'emergence' over the last few months. I hope you will find the means to continue this game in the future as I love a good challenge and the interaction with everyone that it takes to solve these challenges..."
