A few questions...

[mapmaker]

Orbital Colony was sort of launched through eBay - I think it was more of a pre-launch, though? You can read the thread here.

As to the question of a simplistic ARG for teens or children, I'm not following it, but maybe Cathy's Book fits some of that? While not "simplistic", I think I know what you were getting at; it is, per my limited understanding, target at the teen audience.

Hey Cooler_King

Welcome

1. Has something sold on Ebay ever been a rabbithole?
Things have sold on Ebay and things on Ebay have been rabbitholes, but I can't think of any instance where the two have met (the selling and rabbithole-ing)

2. Have you ever heard of a more simplistic ARG for young teens / children?
There are a few examples. Cathy's book, which mapmaker mentioned. Also Jamie Kane by the BBC. There was also a game for, I think, for school aged kids put out by a museum that was local. I've also heard tales of a few teachers doing things for their students.

3. How big is the UK community / player group in your estimation?
Thanks to Perplex City, the UK community is fairly large. And, one nice thing about it, is that it's more "dense" than the US - while the numbers probably don't rival the numbers of US players, they're in a smaller space so it feels like more. But actual numbers and such - I've no idea.

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. I will look into both of those.
