		<description>Adrian:

In the interest of completeness, here are some figures I&#039;ve put together for Chasing The Wish, based on the criteria used for the other games listed here and using the data I have from back in the CTW days.

Quoted numbers: 8,000 - 10,000 as shown by the unique IP addresses visiting the various sites of the game, including people who followed along without registering etc.

1200+ registered players in the database

Forum Posts: 7,975 at UnFiction, not counting the posts at the now defunct Collective Detective, where the game was played and discussed heavily (their primary game for a long period of time)

Google Hits: about 18,000 using &quot;chasing the wish&quot; + arg, but this isn&#039;t entirely accurate as it includes mentions of the upcoming comic book series

Duration: about 8 months (240 days)

Cost: Closer to just over $2000.00 but about $1000.00 was earned back by selling / auctioning off real world items, selling shirts, donations, and other sources.

I&#039;ll try to update the Urban Hunt user stats as soon as I can. Thanks for posting the other ones you have; they are a great refernce source.
