VANISHED educational online game

MIT and the Smithsonian created a two-month-long online
game for students that involved games and discovery along with collaboration to
uncover messages from the future and solve a mystery. This highly engaging
project was built using Flex and Flash, which is what is what put us in
touch with the developers.  This ran from April to May 2011. You can still sign in and look around, as well as sign up to find out about future games.
Thousands  participated and many as a part of their classwork.
