 		42E.

This was my first ARG(hhhhhh!!!!!), but I loved it.

Ultimately, as a marketing company you must be measured by number of eyeballs, level of engagement, and (with something like this) the halo effect. Well, the fact that I was playing pulled in about 15 other people. They weren't playing but they were intrigued by the 'stuff in the mail' and that increased their Tron: Legacy awareness.

I took my 6 year old son and 64 year old mother to Tron Night - which made them both VERY interested in seeing Tron Legacy on opening night.

You guys played me like a fiddle - or a puppet. I was checking uF constantly, Flynn Lives constantly, and doing google searches of random terms. I run 2 companies, have a full time job, have a son --- and a girlfriend from time to time. Yet, the level of engagement this experience allowed just sucked me in.

Thanks for that. It was a great ride. I'm sad to see it end. Feel free to share this with your overlords.

Thanks Unfic and 42e!

Two years ago, I competed against a lot of uF'ers during TDK while I was at SHH!

You guys have been a blast this time around, and it was an awesome adventure to play alongside you guys. I look forward to doing it again! Smile

Thank you for the great experience. You have definitely made this a memorable game, and I eagerly look forward to the next big one (Batman 3?)!!!

 		FLYNN LIVES: THEA AWARD WINNER
Hey Unfictioners!

When I'm not playing FLYNN LIVES and dabbling in ARGs, my day-job is creating themed attractions (theme parks, rides, museum interactives, touring exhibits, shows, events, etc.). There is a yearly Awards for my industry, called the THEAS, or Themed Entertainment Awards: http://theaawards.org/

I wanted to let all the fans know that FLYNN LIVES has won a THEA this year for Outstanding Achievement -- because not only was it an online ARG, but also succeeded in creating incredible "placemaking", evolving the world of themed entertainment in the process (full disclosure: I was part of the effort to nominate the ARG to the Themed Entertainment Association, but didn't vote on its final win).

Anyways, I was stoked when I found out it won, and over on the THEA blog there's a page of information about FLYNN LIVES that I contributed to. There's also a comment section -- so if you want the design community to hear your opinions about FLYNN LIVES and real-world gameplay in general, feel free to head over to the blog and speak your mind:

http://theaawards.org/recipients/flynn-lives.html

Feel free to re-post this elsewhere in the forums, and spread the word elsewhere amongst the TRON & ARG faniverse. Thanks!

 		thanks!
As with many here, this was my introduction to ARG, and I have to say it has been a great time! I think I have been spoiled by this game, and I hope that future ones can reach the level this one has. But thanks to you guys here at unFiction for building this community that helped me get involved in all the excitement and figure out some difficult puzzles! And thanks 42E for providing us all with such a great game, some terrific swag, and fun memories.

I look forward to the future with both new 42E projects and the participation with the unFiction community...

I'm an idiot
So last night I was fortunate enough to run into Michael Borys, and was able to congratulate him on the campaign and the THEA award and reiterate the many positive comments from UF (about which he naturally already knew).

Of course, since this wasn't at ARGFest-o-Con or Operation Tron or the End of Line Club or anything like that, the foregoing came only after I spent fully five minutes trying to remember why I recognized him, before he finally took pity on me and told me who he was. Bang Head Dunce

haha awesome Smile
Met him a while back in SF. Would love to shake his, and the rest of the team's, hand again. Maybe they'll make an appearance at the next ARGFest (which they've been graciously sponsoring the past couple of years).

I really appreciated this ARG (also my first) and the tie-ins to the movie were fantastic! Props for sending swag all the way to Canada, eh!
