Congratulations! You've been selected out of a group 9,273,381,498 people to participate in the Turner Electromental Stress Test (T.E.S.T.). Upon arriving at Turner Intelligence Testing & Sciences (T.I.T.S.), you are sent into your testing room, and begin your test. Complete all 20 exercises, and you'll be rewarded with a check for $1,000, a basket of chocolates, and a free journal! There's nothing that can go wrong.

... Right?

Turner Electromental Stress Test is the full version of an ARG (Alternate Reality game) that won the first annual ARG Underground ARG Contest. This game takes that idea of a 48-hour long session, and brings it to its full potential. With full voice acting by Jack Kesecker as the Sentient Hands-on Intelligence Testing Emulator (among a couple other surprise voices??), you'll wander throughout the internet in search of clues, hints, and answers to 20 puzzles that will twist your mind. Decode text from Base64, string together numbers, and alter images in ways you'd never expect to solve all 20 challenges. Plus, with 13 different achievements, you'll want to play the game again and again. So what are you waiting for? Apply for your test today!
