I wish I spoke Dutch; this looks like a lot of fun. I've been checking around the websites, and the YouTube videos remind me of some of the cool Tachyon videos from LG15 a few months ago. I really wish I could play.

Good luck with the game!

As far as I know it is the first dutch ARG and the people behind it make many mistakes.
For instance they mix PM and characters. They put up a puzzle and give the opportunity to fill in an answer. This puzzle cannot be solved, because only days after they post the missing pieces on the internet (and in such a clumsy way that it isn't a puzzle anymore, they spoonfeed answers). I think working this way they piss off there playerbase, because people are spending hours and hours trying to solve a puzzle that isn't solvable (yet). I was playing this game and after 2 weeks and many frustrations I gave up.

The first Dutch ARG was (as far as I know that is) the Blackbeard Connection, also aimed at the general public, and also a sponsored game.

Combining the Internet, SMS-messages, the newspaper, and television is a nice (if expensive) idea, but I agree with you that unsolvable puzzles and 'railroading' can put a lot of players off. At least with the Blackbeard Connection, all puzzles wére solvable...
