Man, I miss going all-out on building a grassroots ARG. There’s something so liberating and scary about the freedom and malleability of a game that’s not beholden to corporate sponsors, but to its players. Where you can just totally change direction midstream without waiting a week for approval from the client’s legal team. [...]
Woohoo, resume updating time again. It was a crazy summer, but now I’m setting into a new project that’s not at all ARG-like. I think I’m really going to enjoy it.
Here’s the rest of my Fredericksburg cache swag for Violette’s Dream.
It’s real, and it’s spectacular.
This is about a game called Violette’s Dream. The ARG is to promote the release of a first person shooter called Velvet Assassin, due out soon.
The upshot is that I went to get a cache hidden in Fredericksburg, Texas, found a phone number in it, called it up, and had an out-of-game conversation with [...]
Everybody and their dog blogged about the Manhattan ARG-house. Now chief Lost/Alias/Cloverfield dude J.J. Abrams is going to turn it into a movie.
I’ve gotten a ton of trailheads in the last several days.
First came Violette’s Dream, who emailed me a Carroll-esque poem. Turns out that one’s for Velvet Assassin, an upcoming video game.

I’ve been away from regular net access for a few days, so it’s taken me a while to have a moment to post this here. Some of you might know that Dave Szulborski is ill. It’s serious. He could definitely use some well wishes, prayers, and spirit lifting. If you have [...]
This is mostly to keep myself from going crazy in 2 years when I’m looking for this link again.
Postmortem of Majestic by one of its designers.
Also, I turned off the Twitter digest posting for now, although there will still be some over in the sidebar. It was just too creepy to have it automatically [...]
World Without Oil won the SXSW Web Award in the Activism category. There’s a pic on Wired with those of us who were at the conference on stage accepting the award. Many thanks to Ken, Jane, Cathy, Michelle, Marie, and Krystyn for helping make the world’s most awesome game - but especially to [...]
I was asked to fill in as a panelist for SXSWi this weekend. The details about our panel aren’t online yet, but it will be about ARGs (of course). Tony Walsh and Dan Hon will also be on it.
We’ll be in one of the rooms on Saturday at 3:30. Come by if [...]
