What is the Swatch net.hunt?

The Swatch net.hunt is a unique cyberspace-adventure leading you through the expanses of virtual reality. Your big challenge is to find 10 pieces of a mosaic of Zapping, the Nam June Paik Swatch Art Special 1996. The individual pieces are hidden on 10 sites world-wide.
You will be the hunter and become a cybernaut.
The mega-event starts on April 1, 1996.

Who can take part?
The spirit of net.hunt is exactly like the spirit of Swatch and the Internet: democracy, globality and interactivity! You can participate - no matter where you live, who you are, what you do!
All it takes is team spirit.
How heroic would the Three Musketeers be if they had acted independently? So you have to form a team consisting of three members (physical human beings!!) who must be from three different countries.Then you can register this team online and name your gang.

How does it work?
Swatch will hide the 10 pieces of the mosaic all over the Internet. One new piece at exactly 0.00 CET on the following dates (1 piece per date): April 1 (no joke!), 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. We give you a Easter-break with a surprise! To help you finding the sites where the pieces are hidden Swatch will give some hints. Click on Mosaic to get the daily hint for the new piece. When you have found all the pieces of the mosaic, send an e-mail.

Who wins?
The first team in time to find all ten pieces of the mosaic (according to the time on the incoming e-mail protocol) is the winner of the top prize.

What can I win?
WATCH out for the top prize: each member of the winning team will have the opportunity to visit one of his team-members - no matter where he lives. Swatch will cover all of the travel expenses for the mutual visits. By now every cyber-hero knows: the further away your teammates live the more exciting the prize will be for you. By the way: the connection between continents is also an advantage in the game itself because of the world-wide time difference. The winning team is the one that never sleeps!
What happens if you are pretty quick, but not the very first team? The members of the teams from the 2nd to the 10th place will win a Swatch Art Special 1996. The teams ranked 11 to 100 will get a cyber T-Shirt for each participant!
To make your life easier (you will need all your creative energy for the game!) we offer a 'members wanted' forum where you can find teammates everywhere on the planet by leaving your e-mail address and indicating the country you would love to visit. This is the quickest way to become interactive.
So don't waste your time, check the detailed rules (English / French) and register right here, right now!
