Nine Inch Nails ARG should be in!? 15.203.169.107 (talk) 04:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC


Should "The Wyoming Incident" Be on the list? It seems so much like an ARG. I've added Penny Dreadful by Will Christopher Baer to the media section. The novel revolves around an ARG known as "The Game of Tongues", as noted in the review on the Powell's website: http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=1931561818. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.138.159 (talk) 21:03, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


What about the Who Killed Amanda Palmer ARG, which is currently ongoing? http://amandapalmer.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Main_Page (wiki is a bit out of date, but that gives the basics of what's going on.) 71.59.239.3 (talk) 17:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does Personal Effects: Dark Art [1] by J. C. Hutchins count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianary (talk • contribs) 20:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you can also consider this game which is actually breaking havoc. I don't know its name, but it's all about Junko Junshi, Alfa Tsentr... the data is spreading all over the internet, including but not limited to Twitter, Facebook and forums.

A lot of these information items really really need citations. Also, does anybody think we should change the way in which we measure "scale"? There are a lot of possibilities -- for example, budget, number of players, etc.

Another possibility might be the addition of information about the organizers/the intent of the game. For example, I think it makes a difference whether a game was developed as an advert or as a grassroots effort; and people researching ARGs might be interested in having this information at their fingertips as well.

Shouldn't the Portal 2 ARG be mentioned in this article? 67.172.77.5 (talk) 00:06, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Yes, it should, especially the new one. 80.121.88.130 (talk) 19:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gbanga Famiglia is an AUGMENTED reality game

That is an augmented reality game, with the map thing as one of its core aspects. It is not some sort of hidden easter-egg hunt. It does not try to blend fiction with reality. Aattss (talk) 12:47, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know much about wiki, I am just curious to know if either TSW or HE information could be relevant and documented partially? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.203.161.88 (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
