Discovery

From clues called in to participants with Joker cell phones, Clowntravelagency.com was discovered. Upon discovery, the site displayed a suitcase and an envelope with "DEPARTURE DATE 4-01" written.
Assignment
April 1, 2008
At 9AM EST, the image was replaced with an identical one, except with the envelope open.
Upon "opening" the envelope, a message was shown:
A special bag of fun awaits the first to claim it, but you'd better strike fast, there's no time to spare!

These locations were bowling alleys, since the note mentioned "ball," "strike," and "spare." The US locations were a locker number with a combination.
When a location was visited and the task completed, a postmark was stamped onto the address.
Reward
The reward was a leather bag containing a green-and-purple bowling ball and evidence bag. A "clown" name and a phone number were engraved onto the ball. The evidence bag contained a cell phone, charger, Joker card, and a message from the Joker instructing the participant to call the number on the ball to complete the task.

Result
Once all of the locations had been accounted for, the page loaded with all of the postmarks; then the list burned away to reveal a congratulatory note from the Joker.
