[POLL] Age of ARG Players So, a question that I've been thinking about for a long time, both from a marketing stand point and just from a player stand point, what is the general age group of an ARG? On a forum or in game, it's hard to tell the age of players due to the anonymity of the internet.
Don't feel uncomfortable about this question. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to.

There's a slight error in your poll in that numbers are duplicated. If, say, I was 35 or 45, do you have a preference on which choice we select?

Hah!! I knew I had seen this type of poll before. Just had to do some digging in the old Meta Forum.

I thought it best to edit & fix that while not too many people had voted yet... I hope that didn't screw up the data too much

I figured this was the case, younger adults, some gen-xers, and a few fogies lol jk. But yeah, has anyone done a gender one of these?

What about the age of PMs?
I've been wondering whether there would be more of a skew downwards, or perhaps a bifurcation in the spread. Obviously there are the guys with ARG design companies (they must be old and haggard, possibly also grizzled) and then there are the grassrooters which I think will be younger than the 26-30 bracket that characterises your average player.

This would be tough, as I've known PMs to age as much as 10 years within the 2 month timespan of a live game.

Puppetmasters being Timelords would explain a whole heck of a lot.
