17.26 Shadow Lovers

During the Shadow Lovers game, shadows of all of the players online will be randomly placed around the world. The game runs somewhat like the Hot-and-Cold game. You will be assigned a target of one of those shadows, and your goal is to walk into the room with that shadow in order to earn a point. You can receive various clues that indicate to you how "Hot/Close" or "Cold/Far" you are from your target. After you've found that target shadow, you will be given another shadow target to find. The person with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
