AOL launches interactive game show

The online portal AOL is putting pressure on television. Its own Internet show "Gold Rush" is to be launched this year, as Pressetext.ch reports. It will only be available on the Internet. You can win prizes worth 1.6 million dollars. The show is a kind of virtual scavenger hunt in which all AOL users can experience the events online. Anyone who wants to can become active themselves and take part in the scavenger hunt. The makers of "Gold Rush" will hide 13 treasures all over America, which will then be searched for. To get clues to the hiding places, players have to solve various puzzles and crack codes that are hidden on AOL's website as well as in newspaper ads and TV commercials.
