(you can edit your post to change ARK to ARG, assuming that was a typo)

There are 12289 domains hosted on this IP address, and the domain is registered to an advertising agency in france.

Is there anything else of interest on the business card? Could you post a scan of it? How did you find it, and where?

Also, the screen I got when I clicked on the link above was their mail server login -- not in game! Don't try to hack it, it appears to be the default for the hosting server. The REAL link is http://www.therivardproject.com/ (without the period after .com. which messes up the link as posted above)

Not saying this couldn't be an ARG, but it reads more like an employment/business opportunity than an ARG.

The site has the title "The Rivard Project".
When googling "The Rivard project", another site comes up:

http://anothersideofthetruth.com/

Which is a countdown (but is a very long time off for the countdown to finish)

Edited: Also, the Rivard Project is a gold reserve drilling project in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada

A trip for a prize

It looks like there is a trip for a prize and it is definitely an ARG:


(1) You could win a trip if you sign up for the game.
(2) The Rivard Project is an alternate reality game.

I found this here:

http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-communaute-partenaires-dactivites-WANTED-for-ARG-RECHERCHE-pour-un-jeu-collaboratif-en-ligne-...

It is some kind of a wanted ad.
Edited:
Here is another link - there are 4 ads

They also have an ad in Los Angeles

http://losangeles.backpage.com/MiscJobs/detectives_and_delivery_agents_m_w_/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=1644700

And someone online said they found crumpled up flyers in the Dallas airport.

EDITED:

I think this has something to do with JFK (thus the Dallas Connection).

I found this online - it was in French, but when translated to English using translator:

You have a connection Internet? Like the reality games? Leave to discovered the characters key one the darkest pages the history the States - Linked, the assassination of JFK. Register of connecting you on our site. At the end of 5 weeks a virtual and quite real search, you will gain can be a voyage and will undoubtedly take part in an experiment innovating for France. But for that, it will be necessary for you to solve many enigmas and to work in collaboration with players come from the whole world free participation.

Sounds pretty sweet, I hope I don't have to translate EVERYTHING from French though. BTW, someone (not me) found this out on another thread (didn't realize this one was the same game at first) but the confirmation page after you register changes from being on www.therivardproject.com to a site off of www.kaluun.com, which appears to be some kind of French indie/rock/alternative/something-or-other band... Not sure how that connects though.

Well, I suppose a few people have suggested that I go do that.........
