April Fool's Day Scavenger Hunt: On April 1, 2008, the Joker left a cryptic message for viewers on the Clown Travel Agency website, which read:

• "Ready to have a ball? A special bag of fun awaits the first to claim it, but you'd better strike fast, there's no time to spare! "

Along with the message, the Joker left a list of locations for a scavenger hunt. Upon visiting these locations (which turned out to be bowling alleys), participants in the scavenger hunt were rewarded with a green and purple bowling ball that had a phone number inscribed on it, a cell phone and charger, a Joker card, and another message from the Joker.

When all of the locations were discovered, a new note appeared on the Clown Travel Agency site, stating:

• "Good job, Clowns! You've proven you're kingpin material, so I've got a job that's right up your alley. Head over to Acme Security Systems and see if you can disable a certain alarm system for me. The password is: needle. Be sure not to use a phony email address. It'll be OK?. I promise."

Upon visiting Acme Security Systems, participants get busted by Commissioner Gordon, and offered a chance to redeem themselves by joining the Gotham City Police Force.
