Rescue Dina Foxx! (orig. German title: Wer rettet Dina Foxx?), is atransmedia event by the German television network Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF). Development was helmed by director and co-writer Max Zeitler[1][2] in cooperation with ZDF, teamWorx and UFA-lab.[1][3] The event took place in Germany in April/May 2011 and lasted for six weeks combining TV and internet to highlight the dangers of digital identity theft.[4] Rescue Dina Foxx! was marketed as an "interactive crime story" and turned into Germany's largest alternate reality game to date.[5]

A TV-crime thriller introduced the story of Dina Foxx who is arrested for murder but claims her world has been manipulated by a digital doppelganger. The film abruptly ended and invited the audience to "Rescue Dina Foxx" by starting a public investigation on the internet and in reality.[4]

In 2014 ZDF showed the sequel Dina Foxx – Tödlicher Kontakt which in 2015 won the Emmy Award in the category Digital Program:Fiction.[6]
