Strange request from an ESL teacher

Posted from general chat

I'm looking to create an ARG which is designed purely to help those studying English as a Second Language

Have any of you played in memoriam? It was a creepy game with you using the internet to solve puzzles layed out by a serial killer, it was hugely enjoyable and genuinely original. Now I want to rip that idea off and create an ESL (English as a Second Language) version.

I'm not getting over ambitious, I am only intending on using websites and internet, no flash or anything but I've come up with some ideas I think that would work

Researching
"Hacking" a MSN hotmail account (created for that specific purpose)
Writing Emails
Viewing English blogs
Creating hidden messages from news reports (using a key or similar)
Hidden text on websites (i.e. white text on a white backdrop)

I'm thinking of the storyline going something like this:

A secret organisation mistakenly emails you
You discover that they are a "good" spy agency and someone is hunting down their operatives
You must search through old spy journals (blogs) access their dummy corporations hidden webpages, access their emails etc. etc.
This reveals the name of the double agent who is then apprehended.

This is a BASIC draft. I am looking for people who are keen to come up with: Interesting puzzles, flesh for the story, any website creation (if possible) and simply feedback. I'm NOT doing this for any profit. If it gets successful (and I think it could be really big over here, let alone japan, china (tho the baddies might have to be altered for them Wink) etc. etc. meaning lots of kids will benefit)

So drop me a PM if your interested in helping, and remember this actually could have a positive impact on 100s of childrens lives, as well as being pretty fun to make.

Thanks, and sorry for being so imprecise its still just an idea at the moment

Chris
