My questions:

How many people did you aim the game for?

Were there any puzzles or answers that we missed? (in particular the daisy page apply the parable)

Will you be posting the photos and videos you took from the live event? (as i wouldnt mind a copy of the one at the statue Smile )


How did you keep track of all the players especially in regards to personalised emails?
(and echoing previous players, how did you know all of our names at the live event)

And lastly how did you choose the theme music for Geist (scarily addictive song) and was there any underlying meaning for it to be playing at the live event or was that just to send a shiver down my spine as I realised it was playing? Laughing

Just a reminder -- we'll be recording the Netcast on Sunday, so if you have questions for the Meigeist PMs, please mail them to us or post them here before then. Thanks! Smile

Why did you decide to do an ARG?

How long did the design and planning take?

Two questions on, what I suppose would be, game design:

1. Who to trust.

Pat & Dave's http://www.timehole.co.uk/Truthisinhere.html said " DO NOT TALK OF THIS OUT LOUD. Do not e-mail us about it…. They are watching. Lots of love Pat and Dave." So, emailing them with "sensitive" information was out of the question.

Between Keir, Prof. Wilson and Dr. Francis, players weren't sure whom to trust. So there wasn't a single person to whom we could confide our finding; more so, early on, but especially after Eva was taken by Kenkon.

Was that intentional to make players reflect on the issue of trust? Or could it have been to limit the amount of emails you'd receive? Smile

2. Re: websites

The quantity, quality, diversity, oh, and humour of the web pages were wonderful !

Just two sites didn't outwardly seem to be used to their full capacity, the SRI site and the Timehole forums.

Was that expected?

It just occured to me that they are probably recording the Netcast right now (if it's not already recorded). I can't stand the suspense! Smile

/prays for a quick editing period this week
