\n\tStart your engines, ARMY \u2014 your search engines, that is. BTS<\/a> is teaming up with Google ahead of new album ARIRANG, sending fans on a wild scavenger hunt leading up to the project\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaunched Thursday (March 5) and available only on mobile, the game begins by typing \u201cBTS\u201d in the Google search bar, at which point a small message in a bottle graphic appears at the bottom of the screen. Once clicked, it directs players through a series of increasingly difficult trivia questions and challenges themed around the Bangtan Boys, with digital souvenirs available to earn along the way.<\/p>\n

\n\tEach week leading up to the release of ARIRANG on March 20, a new set of clues will drop.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the fast-approaching release of the group\u2019s first full-length in six years, the game celebrates the fact that BTS is Google\u2019s most-searched boy band of all time, dating back to 2004. It\u2019s one of many ways the septet comprised of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook has kept fans engaged leading up to the release of ARIRANG, having also recently appeared on the cover of GQ to talk about about BTS\u2019 evolution and releasing the official tracklist<\/a> and producer credits. As the latter revealed on Tuesday (March 3), Diplo, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Mike WiLL Made-It and Ryan Tedder all helped produce the project, while members of the band assisted in cowriting every single one of the 14 tracks.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, BTS will play a comeback concert that will be live-streamed concurrently on Netflix the day after ARIRANG drops, the trailer for which<\/a> premiered Wednesday.<\/p>\n
