Johnmonad.com is an official HBO teaser website promoting John From Cincinnati. The Flash site, which launched the week before the first episode, offers tantalizing audio and video clips from the show.
The site is set up like a puzzle, much like the "Lost Experience" game that ran online in the summer of 2006 for LOST fans.
The main interface for the site is a search box. Typing the correct phrases into the search box opens up new pictures and clips. The user can either type phrases into the box, or click "help" to get suggestions for more phrases.
