## What is Lost Potatoes?

Welcome to Maris Bend, a quiet coastal town with a weekly paper, a diner, a ferry that never arrives, and a bell that rings at 3:17 every morning. Nobody in town remarks on it anymore.

Lost Potatoes looks like the town's official community app. Read the Bulletin, check the weather (including the general unease), browse the classifieds, look up the ferry schedule, and see what's on at the church this week.

It is also a puzzle game. One hundred potatoes are hidden in the app, and the town would very much prefer you didn't go looking.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
Potatoes hide in headlines, sermons, menus, the police blotter, the Lost & Found, the radio schedule, and the fog over Wednesday's forecast. Every one has a clue somewhere in town, if you're paying attention.

MORE THAN TAPPING
Some potatoes you tap. Some you hold, shake, or count. Some only turn up at a certain hour, on a certain day, or with your phone held just so. A few you have to solve: a crossword, a word game, a jumble, a safe with a combination hidden around town.

A STORY, ONE PAGE AT A TIME
Every potato you find turns up another page of a diary from the autumn of 1887, when the town's harvest went missing. Find all hundred to learn what really happened, and what it means for the town now.

A CELLAR FOR WHAT YOU FIND
Keep every potato you recover on the shelves of the Cellar, once you find the way in. Stuck? Earn hint tokens as you go and spend them on the potato you're hunting.
