Yeap, April's Fool, but it's a rather strange choice of game for an april's fool. It's more probable that the dudes in charge of April's Fools at Blizzard were inspired by the TSL news last month, but I wonder if that could be a sign that Activision-Blizzard plan to do something with their old titles.
"# Comes on 17 floppy disks" lol
To even start to play you already have to solve a puzle:
# A revolutionary new Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme in 5 easy steps:
* Open the Spin-A-Spacer DRM application on any smart phone*
* Line up the spacer faces to reveal the page/word matrix value
* Consult your player guide / lore manual, and turn to the appropriate page
* Use the special 3d lenticular glasses to decode the margin text and find the keyword passphrase
* Enter the special passphrase into the on-screen prompt
* Speak “OK†clearly and audibly into the device’s audio input
* ENJOY! (Occassionally, you may be asked to call a toll-free 800 number to verify your identity)
Love the hat!
Haha, I so wish this wasn't an april fool's joke..
Dunno if this is part of it, but it seems the TSL guys want to buy the Kings Quest IP outright.

I'm not entirely sure this was the best idea they could've had though.
I don't think it's related, and I wish them good luck, they'll need a lot of it. Activision isn't gonna give away that IP below a million. And if we, a forum dedicated to indie adventure games, hear about their latest idea 6 days after its announcement, they really need to improve their "getting the word out there" skills.

Yeah, that's not gonna fly. Activision is unlikely to want to sell it, like ever, and even if they did, TSL cannot anywhere near afford it. Good luck though.
