It all started with Jester. He left comments on a number of different blogs, inviting readers to play a game. When his name was clicked on, it would bring the curious to a strange Twitter account where Jester posted a number of riddles. It turned out that Jester had kidnapped a man named Derek and placed him in a cabin in an undisclosed location. Derek's twin sister, Grace, soon began receiving a number of riddles from Jester, with the promise that they would lead her to her brother. Meanwhile, Jester continued to post riddles on his Twitter feed, as Derek's well-being hinged on the riddles being solved in time.
Like most ARGs, the story was spread out all over the place. [http://twitter.com/#!/ThePuppetsFool Jester's Twitter feed], [http://trappedinacabin.wordpress.com/ Derek's blog], and [http://lookingforderek.blogspot.com/ Grace's blog] formed the core of the story. However, there were also a number of side blogs that provided puzzle hints and heavily fleshed out the story: [http://twitter.com/#!/LookingGrace Grace's Twitter feed], [http://www.formspring.me/MummersFarce The Mummer's Farce]{{Dead link}} (a Formspring account), [http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002754276774&sk=wall The Lonesome Artist's Facebook profile], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120726070512/http://ilballodifortuna.tumblr.com/ The Dance of Fortune], a blog maintained by one of the [[The Fear Mythos|Wooden Girl's]] puppets.
The game began on July 30, 2011, and concluded on September 8, 2011.

* [[Altum Videtur]]: Grace's blog is called ''Sola Gratia'', which is Latin for "Grace Alone." {{spoiler|This becomes ironic when it's revealed that she's [[Multiple Personalities|not alone]].}}
* [[Arc Words]]: Toward the end, the phrase "we are nearing the end of this mummer's farce" began popping up. In fact, the words "mummer's farce" could qualify all by themselves.
