The Department Of Distractions is recruiting new Agents. The Department is a shadowy organisation with a contested purpose: is it harmlessly bringing light relief and moments of intrigue into people's stressful lives, or is its job to distract us from what's really going on? Either way, are you made of the right stuff? Will you pass the test? You caught our attention. You are special. We're looking for people who see the world in a slightly different way. People who notice things others don't. And we think that might be you. Part puzzle, part game, part film, part real life, The Distraction Agents is an on and offline experience, arriving first as an intriguing package through the post, full of beautifully designed printed materials. This is followed by a series of videos sent via email over a week, in which four members of The Department guide players through the challenges, and offer hints as to how to get on as a new recruit.
