 		Been seeing commercials for this on YTV recently. Looks odd, but interesting. Revolves around a slushie-type drink (which really exists, it's not just a 'prop' for the campaign) - pretty stupid basis for an ARG/viral, but looks cool overall.

yeah, but if you simply look down the index of this forum, you'll see 4 threads started by someone else about this game last week.

I posted this more than a week before those other topics and was completely ignored.

It's true, this thread is older than that linked one!

EDIT: An ARG about a slushie is officially awesome.

 		Is it an ARG, or is it just a story advertising the slushie?

Don't take anything personally, Zazaban. You post the site and let us know it's there. Folks take a peek and decide if they are interested or not. Maybe at the time there was nothing much to discuss.

It's not a contest to see who finds something first, or finds the most trailheads. It's a service to post something new. It's a bonus if it turns out to be a game. It's still great if it's a website that is interesting to poke around and see what they are showing us while advertising the beverage. It's wonderful if it turns into an ARG (but seems that direct advertising websites are more like Extended Realities - but that debate is ongoing in the META threads).

ARG or not, this is one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long time.

"To make sure the minds of the world always remain free, I have developed this new frozen drink."

I don't think I've ever enountered more effective advertising. I want Space Slushies!

whoops! My apologies. I saw this thread getting bumped by a reply and it looked new to me; i didn't properly look at the date of the first post, and just assumed the whole thread was new.

 		Do you think that Cryo can counteract the effects of Parapin?

Just curious.
