I found this really cool website thru some magazine I read. The post didn't really fit into any of the Specialty Gamer categories, so I put it here. Anyways, the website is called Get The Glass and its a promotional website by the California Milk Board, the "got milk?" people.
Note that before anyone heads off right away to check it out, the website is very graphic intensive and requires a broadband connection to play properly. Despite the loading screens and everything, it is very worth playing in my opinion. Keep reading on for more info.
The website/game features the Adachis, a family of four criminals trying to break into Fort Fridge to get the glass of milk, while avoiding the Fort Fridge Security and being sent to Milkatraz. The game is in Flash and is a tabletop style board game where you roll a dice to advance on the board. The Fort Fridge Security, however, is behind you and gets to roll a black dice after everyone of your turns, so you want to always keep ahead.
The game takes approximately fifteen minutes or so to complete and consists of four different minigames (one for each character) and some various quizzes and puzzles to complete, depending on what space you land on.

The game is very smoothly animated and in 3D - think Pixar quality. A nice classic/vintage setting. (50's?)

The dice is rolled by clicking on it with your mouse pointer, holding down the button and flinging it. Watch it bounce around your screen! Its really a very cool effect.

The Fort Fridge Security gets a roll and creeps towards you with every turn.

Among the different spaces are Fortune, Misfortune, Mastermind, and Hideout. Here I landed on Misfortune so had to draw a card.
Anyways, got broadband? Then check it out! www.gettheglass.com
