See argn.com for a brief article on a new UK-based game. That's in Europe. Or France.

Any more than France being impliedly not in Europe. Just working with what I was given. Wink

One of unFiction's members, Patrol, makes and maintains a pretty cool German ARG site, targeted mostly for Germany, and a little for the rest of Europe. Even France Wink

It's here: http://www.patmo.de/

Having said that, I think a lot of ARGs are pretty international, in the sense that you can pretty much follow along with them and interact with the online bits not matter where you are. Unfortunately, there haven't been many live events here yet, not counting a couple of excellent German ARGs that Patrol writes about on his site, nor some Perplex City live events in the UK.

I can see the problem you're talking about.

Here in Sweden the ARG-scene has been pretty dead, apart from a few games - mostly run by yours truly. However, we have a pretty active pervasive gaming research - and thus, the need has (up until now) been satisfied that way. Check out www.prosopopeia.se in a couple of days time for some interesting read =)

I would love to see a European-focused and developed game - no offense to the guys and gals on the other side of the pond - but it gets kind of boring after a while.

It would be extremely cool to make the players travel around Europe as well, doesn't cost more then 10-15$ a trip - at least not here in Sweden.

Thoughts on this?

Peace.

Does it matter where the ARG is physically based from? I mean, most of the 'work' goes on over the internet, so wherever you are, you can take part.

Having said that, we did have a great time at the live geist event in Bristol the other week Very Happy

I agree and there is still nothing to stop phone calls being made internationally as call charges have dropped hugely & although snail mail round the world would delay things, it could still happen?!

Well, in theory the post across Europe isn't that slow & it takes about 7 days for a letter for the UK to Oz which wouldn't hold things up too much I don't think.

A EuroARG would be great, with an aim to have live events in at least five different countries. Why stop there though? What about Asia?
