Earlier this year fans uncovered a mysterious door on the Funcom website relating to The Secret World. Funcom later launched an ARG that challenged players to go down the rabbit hole that led to more than 14k hours of gameplay among The Secret World community. Players that engaged the mystery were led to complex puzzles, videos and even received phone calls, SMS and emails from secret agents that all helped reveal a piece of the larger puzzle.
Today Funcom posted what players will have a chance to win for taking part in the mystery. Prizes include everything from in-game cosmetic items to five lifetime accounts for The Secret World. Anyone that manages to solve the mystery of the final seal will be eligible to win one of two unique in-game hoodies, while the lifetime accounts will be handed out to the top community member contributors to the ARG mystery. More prizes will be announced following the conclusion of the ARG on June 28th.
The Secret Worlds final beta weekend starts on Friday. Pre-orders are now available and will include a name reservation, in-game items and at least one day of early access prior to the the official launch on July 3rd.
