Something Cryptic This Way Comes

Charlie Todd's new Urban Prankster site points towards a cryptic online outlet for Prototype161, a company that "provides consulting, investigation, and solutions to clients whose problems cannot be solved by ordinary methods." Todd received a letter, which he posted, saying he'd been selected as a prospective agent.

Prototype161 seeks creative, resourceful, and daring individuals to serve as agents in our ongoing investigations.

You will track down clues, solve puzzles, and interrogate suspects. You’ll scour a city to find the answers. You’ll compete against other agents to solve the case first. Our most resourceful and successful agents will earn rewards and accolades.

Intrigued? You have just a few more weeks to hone your skills before new agent recruitment on July 12th, where agents will either compete to solve some unspecified case, or be slaughtered in a mass execution orchestrated by some diabolical gaming mastermind. Either way, be sure tag your Flickr photos from the event "Gothamist"!
