CaperChase.com makes online games where the "playing field" is the web itself. The games loosely resemble online scavenger hunts. Their users search the web for "clues" to advance through the games and win prizes. The games naturally create Internet traffic for sites that contain game clues; essentially, they are highly effective traffic engines. Caperchase doesn't sell banner ads on their web site; they deliver real Internet traffic directly to YOUR web site. www.caperchase.com
