I would like to thank....

Everyone who played Art of the Heist, and everyone who had a part in its creation. Especially the players, though. You guys made this a memorable game. I had a great time playing.

Thank you all.

Hear hear! Or is it "here, here?"

I'd like to echo johnny's sentiments and add a special thank you to Diandra and the friends in #heist for keeping me sane while I was hiding from Nisha in a port-o-potty. And for all the fun in #heist after the Chicago Op.

But most of all, thanks to the PMs and the actors! Great job everyone!

Thanks to all involved! This was such a memorable experience. From the characters to the puzzles. To the PM who wrote the character backgrounds, you rock! To the Puzzlemaker, as always you are amazing!
You are all amazing. I can't wait for the next one. Very Happy

A special thanks to Audi for taking a chance and doing something different in the marketing world.

Me too. You guys are awesome...

Nisha...you scare me, thrill me and excite me all at the same time.

This was the most clever ARG ever.

Love you all.

ah, the gag comes off again!

... well, not off, but loosened a little bit (don't want to spoil your post-in-game experience.) Sorry a few of us weren't able to be there at the party, but some of us will get to see you at ARGfest.

What an amazing ride it's been: sometimes it's hard to tell who was entertaining whom more. Looking forward to some post game chats, and really enjoying the media you guys shot at the party!

Thank you folks for making it such a blast!


Brian

This has been my first ARG, so it's been quite a learning experience! Thanks to everyone who played along on this forum for making it such an enjoyable one, and of course thanks to the PMs and actors who put in a hell of a lot of work - great puzzles, great production, great game!

One last word to Audi - this was truly a ground-breaking approach to marketing, now please please please come and do it in the UK!! Smile

Woooo!

I'm seriously having some Heist withdrawal. Thanks to everyone involved and everyone who played! Especially the other Chicago Retrievers!

I was more of a watcher than a player in this game but even just watching it was so much fun. I loved every aspect of it. The actors were perfect for their roles, the plot was a perfect blend of action and interaction and the puzzles were wicked.

Thanks so much to the PMs, actors and Audi.

I'll echo what everyone else has said. It's been awesome. I've had a blast with this, as others have said, the heist community really made the game. I don't think any of us could have made it through the puzzles alone. You can count me in on Heist^2.

A truly excellent finish for this game.

I lurked for most of this game, and only came out to say mean things when the Coachella mission went south. Embarassed I am officially apologizing for running my mouth off...

It takes balls to run a game like this and while there were a few bumps along the road, I would say this was masterfully executed in all accounts. Actors, PMs, writers, puzzlemakers, players. Everyone.

My hat goes off to you all.

Seriously, thank you to everyone who worked on this game! The story, puzzles, acting, execution...all top notch. I still remember when we first got into iannet and found hours and hours worth of content from past missions...I'm still amazed that so much time was put into creating such an elaborate and wonderful back story. I've gotta say Dave, between this, Chasing the Wish and Urban Hunt (my all time favorite ARG), everything you get your hands on turns to gold!

thanks a million all y'all

Mason (SM)

PS....the sequel better feature some Boston Retrieving action!!!

Hittin' 'em where it counts!

I want to echo everyone's sentiments regarding what a great project this has been. It sure takes advertising from an irritating annoyance to an entertaining and engaging experience. It definitely makes me appreciative of the sponsors who put their money behind ARGs.

In order to share my thanks and to encourage Audi to support making the sequel to Art of the Heist (and hopefully to encourage other companies to adopt this medium as a result of witnessing its success) I am writing a letter to Stephen Berkov, the Director of Marketing (the guy who was in some of those party pics). Additionally, I am encouraging everyone else who enjoyed this experience to do the same. The address I have is:

Stephen Berkov
Director of Marketing
Audi of America
3800 Hamlin Road
Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326

I think that if enough of us write to say thanks and to express how wonderful we think Audi is for doing this (not to mention how much we've learned to love the A3) we can better the chances of seeing more of this type of campaign. And just so I don't sound like a total mercenary, I'll point out that I try to make it a habit to write to thank people and/or companies when I receive particularly good service or value—everybody should!

We should get these letters out soon while the idea is still fresh.
