You drop numbered circles into a set of columns; there are obvious parallels to Tetris, but if you're in a Tetris mindset then you'll make some mistakes.  It turns out that (although you don't need to know this to play the Flash game) this is part of an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alternate_reality_game\">alternate reality game<\/a> related to the TV show <cite>Numb3rs<\/cite>, a show that I'm suddenly much more interested in after hearing about it from three entirely unrelated directions in the past few days.  Anyway, there's an ARGNet article with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.argn.com\/archive\/000666numb3rs_chain_factor_we_probably_should_have_seen_this_coming.php\">more info about the Chain Factor ARG<\/a>. Yesterday's ARGNet news update suggests that the Chain Factor ARG is nearing an end, but I'm hoping that the Flash game will remain online.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\" http:\/\/www.2flashgames.com\/f\/f-1211.htm\">Chaos Theory<\/a> (in Japanese). Note that, as far as I can tell, you get only one click in each of the three rounds.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2flashgames.com\/f\/f-Rhythm-Fireworks-2-5310.htm\">Rhythm Fireworks 2<\/a> is essentially a miniature online Flash version of Dance Dance Revolution, only (a) you use the keyboard arrows instead of a dance pad, and (b) you also have to use a separate set of keys (A, S, D) to change the color of the screen to match the arrows before you can zap them. And (c) there are only a few songs, instrumental only. But they're kinda catchy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Flash games with only the vaguest of thematic connections to each other. Chain Factor.
