Looking for name of a game by EA, from back in AOL times

The game was a real time game. After downloading it (on dial up), you put in your cell number, pager number, fax number, IM name, etc.
They said the more you put in, the better the game was.
It was basically a clue finding game, looking for the suspects that burnt down EA Games headquarters.
You would get phone calls, pages, etc from the game, giving you hints of where to search on the internet.
Anyone remember the name of this game?

Did they request your social security number and credit card number also?

Video game called “Majestic” . I vaguely remember reading about this game, found by googling “video game that would fax you” lol. Cool concept

That’s it. It was a great concept. Like it says on the Wikipedia page, it was inspired by the movie “The Game”.
The thing I remember most, after spending hours on dial up, downloading the game, and putting in my info (phone number, etc), a button came up and said launch game.
As soon as I hit the button, I got an error msg, saying the game was down due to a fire at EA headquarters. I was fricking pissed.
About 5 mins later my flip phone rings, and it was a guy saying that the fire was arson, and needed my help find the people behind it. A government black ops was trying to shut it down. It gave me a clue and hung up.

Game was pretty hyped before coming out but the reviews at release at the time were abysmal and it faded quickly.

Sounds interesting. But I don’t want to game on someone else’s time.
