Speaking of "Lost," here's more about the "Lost Experience," the upcoming "multi-media game" related to the series:

The game, of a genre called alternate-reality games, is a multimedia treasure hunt that makes use of e-mail messages, phone calls, commercials, billboards and fake Web sites that are made to seem real.

...Carlton Cuse, a writer and executive producer of "Lost," who is also one of the creators of the Lost Experience, said that the idea was conceived at a lunch that included Mr. Benson and Damon Lindelof, one of the show's creators.

...The game will start on May 3. "Watch the May 3rd episode very carefully," Mr. Cuse said. "You can TiVo it, but don't skip the commercials."
