Is this your first time investigating the Lost Ring? Welcome!

As you to start to explore the mystery, maybe you feel like you’re running around with a blindfold on. So I’m going to do my best to guide you on this adventure.

A few months ago, six of us woke up with amnesia in labyrinths across the world. We didn’t remember anything – not even our own names. The only clue to our identities was a strange tattoo each of us share: Trovu La Ringon Perditan. We soon discovered that’s Esperanto for: “Find The Lost Ring.”

What’s the Lost Ring, and how do we find it? It’s a mystery! But we know that it has something to do with the Olympics. More than 100,000 online friends from across the globe are helping us figure out the rest. And we need your help, too.

Together, we’re searching the world for evidence of ancient Olympic mysteries. So far, we’ve found lots of clues about how to play a lost Olympic sport! And we’re learning the secret history of why the Olympics were created by the Ancient Greeks in the first place.

There's a lot to explore, and we're uncovering new clues every day! So here’s a couple of websites for you to visit:

This is a “secret site”, a strange database full of clues for finding real-world artifacts. But first you have to decipher the “omphalos code”. If you’re interested, the best place to look are the omphalos forums here, or on the wiki.

Oh, after I woke up in the labyrinth, the locals called me Ariadne. It’s nice to meet you, and I hope you’re willing to help us – and to help save the worlds.
