Salamander - Master of Disguise
Salamander was first played as an offline game where a number of Dan Zen's 80 hats and various accessories were dispersed around the house. Under each was a clue and party goers went around trying to match their clues to player's disguises.
The online game works well because it just keeps going. As soon as the Salamander is caught, he slips away and the park builds again. The Salamander has been caught 230 times with over 11,000 players.
The online game also provides for light role playing and multiuser feel.
Strategies are available to catch the Salamander - two hints: watch the dots and sit on the stones.

Usability: the Zen of interface - present a circle and only a circle - click the circle and it sweeps out a story and leaves a circle again. The only trouble is if people do not explore and immediately think the site is broken. Various levels of interface can be provided - see dots.
