Well, like you said, I guess it is personal preference. I do happen to like the "product" args - they are fun and usually come to an end within a reasonable amount of time; anywhere from 3 months - a week. I like the fact that this marketing company made contact with you after the game as I have had experience with other companies that you never hear from again and you wonder what happened and leave you hanging. I have only participated in 3 product ARG's - Appleby's Resturant, Covet Perfume and Guinness. I think out of the three I liked the flash websites of Guinness the best - as they were really fun. The covet ARG had more interactive assignments which at first I didn't think I would like (making a video of our own for 2 challenges), but after I completed the tasks realized I actually had fun doing it and learned how to make videos because of the task (even without a camera). But these were 2 totally different types of ARGs - Covet was slower, giving out 1 clue a week and was not intense except perhaps once a week for 30 minutes. Guinness was faster, intense and addictive, and consumed your thoughts. I am thinking I had more fun with Guinness, being a fast intense race - first one to finish instead of a drawing at the end.

Oh how I wish we had more veteran ARGers in this thread. This was a contest with ARG characteristics in that we sent emails & got a little bit of a story.

A regular ARG usually does not have prizes - you may get some cool swag, but nothing that would be classified as a "grand prize." There is much more story & character interaction & use of different web sites, of course.

I know I would love to see a full blown ARG that included a prize package - that would be Da Bomb! But that would also require an enormous amount of time from the PM team as they would HAVE to lurk the board & IRC to know who really got a solve - many things are team effort - a little here helps someone else get a little there & then BAM! the solve

wouldn't it be sweet to see something really valuable transformed into a ARG style contest? Jewelry, Cars, homes, etc.? Well if the genre keeps growing we may one day see that I'll keep on playing even if I don't win anything, but swag IS cool!

I really don't see it happening, I truly believe the best I get out of this is bragging rights & an interview with iChameleon Group. No worries mates , I was in it for the fun, I was shocked that I was the first.

But the big question now is, Who was second? This Article mentions that they are being verified today (Monday in UK). Are they also a UFer? If so, speak up, you get Props!

heh. love that article.

if i'd have been here, i'd have surely been at least right behind you getting there RH. Had a blast at Disney, but I cant say I didnt miss the games here just a tiny little bit.
