Trovu la ringon perditan

There's an alternate reality game going on right now at findthelostring.com. Ariadne's woken up with a strange tattoo on her arm that says "Trovu la ringon perditan." She wants to know what it means.

We know what it means. It means "find the lost ring."

We know what it means because we speak the International Language Esperanto.

Ariadne is one of 6 people from all over the world who need to communicate with each other to solve a mystery. That's just what Esperanto was created for! In fact, they're decoding a secret codex with 27 chapters hidden all over the world all written in Esperanto, in one chapter it reads:

We chose the language Esperanto for this text because of the difficulties we had communicating with each other.

You can learn to speak it too!

We'll send you more information about learning and using Esperanto, including the first lesson of our free ten-lesson introductory language course, if you fill out this brief form. If possible, please provide both an e-mail address and a street address. If you are outside the United States, or would prefer an electronic version of the course, you can sign up for an e-mail version here.

What else do we know?
