Oh Yes: Valve's Mysterious Meta Game
We sort of sat on this one despite all the rumours about it, due to a combination of thinking it was an April Fool's thing, our usual elderly-style bewilderment and being distracted by my cat chasing a bit of... Oh! Look at her! It's adorable! She's rolled over now! And she's purring! And..

Assorted clues and hints were stuffed into the recent Potato Sack sale shenanigans - specifically, hidden messages (and potatoes!) in some of the games featured in the pack.
There were strange crossovers too, such as glyphs found when playing Super Meat Boy music in Audiosurf. Later still, Clever Internet Men discovered clues in real-life locations too.

For full (frighteningly extensive) details of the story so far, get thee to the Valve ARG Wiki. Those chaps have found a whole lot of things. Too much. They should probably be killed; it's the only way to be sure. Alternatively, see if you can help them out. MOBILISE.
Oh, and apparently the number 16 may be important. THEORISE.
