Given that Foxâs Alcatraz is produced by J.J. Abramsâs Bad Robot production company, the show features a pretty hefty mythological bent alongside its âcriminal of the weekâ procedural aspect. Bad Robot has gone all out on a viral campaign for the show, and weâve already brought you our report from the viral scavenger hunt event at the actual Alcatraz prison in San Francisco. Today weâre bringing you yet another report on a viral event for the series, this time in the form of a video. Fans were sent to investigate a robbery at Skylight One Hanson, former home of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn, New York. They followed clues, interrogated âwitnessesâ, and used tools given to them in order to solve the case.One of the more crucial aspects of the viral event was the use of a Ford Mustang in their investigation. Participants had to use UV light inside the car to search for fingerprints that lead them to a cryptic Bluetooth message. Interestingly, Ford Motor Company seems to be integrating themselves pretty heavily into the viral campaign in order to advertise their new car. Itâs definitely a different approach, and one that weâll probably see more of in the future. Nevertheless, you can watch the video wrapping up the entire viral event after the jump. Alcatraz airs Mondays at 9/8c.
