I always thought ilovebees was a love story between Melissa and us. Smile

Permit me a moment to rankle a bit at the idea that ARG-for-marketing != art.


*rankle*


Thank you for this moment. Here's the thread back.

I'll toss first the notion that the metaverse of Lovecraft is broad enough that one can tell a number of stories.

(And yes, I have a particular thought in mind.. Wink

*Delves into his ideas notebook*

Ah, here it is:
"Work out a narrative done through mostly low-tech methods, telling the story of two lovers across time periods and various reincarnations.

Think of the secret love child between the stories "Possession", "The Fountain", and "The Time Traveler's Wife" "

Another idea for ARG were really something cyberpunkish (but not only about hacking webpages, but with great and philosophic story).


Cyberpunk as a genre can be a wide palette to paint with.

Running the Net could yield some interesting puzzle possibilities.

You have the whole question about global corporations acting as quasi-states (and the possible conflicts between them)

That reminded me of something I would like to see. An ARG advertising London's transport network, based on Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. It could include such things as a live, sanctioned, Circle Line party (with the Earl's Court carriage) or access to closed stations such as Down Road (providing they're in a safe condition of course).

I might have missed it in my quick trawl through this thread, but I'd love to see an adult ARG in the Sin City world, or at least that style.

Thought I would chime in.

I agree with the cyberpunk/Steampunk suggestion. That could be a lot of fun. Add Firefly/Serenity to that as well.

Jack the Ripper/Serial Killer ARG is next on the list and then just because I'm curious how it could be pulled off - I'd love someone to come up with the Devil's Rejects ARG...with Captain Spaulding as the lovely host leading players through the twister world of psycho killers.

Heh... feel almost reluctant to post in a thread almost a year old... >.>

But - Dr Who, a kind of swords/sorcery style - magic is real style game. Or... something.

Something with IRL events (drops, meets etc.) that happen in the Midlands area of the UK. >.>


I would have loved to have seen the .hack ARG though.

I would be all for a Final Fantasy based ARG. Meaning tears of joy and obsession over said ARG.

Since Must Love Robots satisfied my love story / romance hope, time for a new one.

A musical ARG. I'm not talking a Year Zero-type ARG where the music is complemented by an engrossing story, I'm talking full out singing-and-dancing, pervasive storytelling. Bonus points if there's a flashmob thrown into the mix or if there's a capella.
