Looking for premade ARG
Uni project

Hello everyone!

Didn't know ARG scene is so big!

I have a question to ask: I'm preparing a marketing presentation for my class at the university. The classes are a blast, 100% of the course is done by case studies, and the teacher has lots of ideas and good concepts.

I have to make a presentation for November 22nd, and I was thinking of getting my group into ARG (and they wouldn't know about it) and then surprising them on the 22nd by revealing what was going on.

Can anyone point me towards a premade/already played ARG, that I can use in a span of 1-2 weeks, and that would go well with students? Is there anything like this?

Thanks a lot!
Castor Krieg

Hiya Castor

It's ginormous Wink . And so is your question!

Generally ARGs aren't (or haven't been made) replayable with the notable exception of Jamie Kane (though I think some people have recently been having some trouble with it) - I think the timescale might be a little longer than what you're looking for. It's not that they can't be, just that they haven't been - replayability takes a long term commitment from a PM team and their funders.

I think Cathy's Book (here and here) is another which I presume is replayable in that you can still buy it - though I've not tried it myself. In terms of marketing Cathy's Book is a good one to look at with its links to Proctor & Gamble.

Other than that, lots of the ARGs have player guides and walkthroughs written for them by players and for presentation purposes it might be easier to use that sort of approach. Here's a link to a classic, the promotion for the film A.I. known as The Beast
