Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) combine real-world experience with fictional clues, puzzles and communication in a collaborative game format. The story-based and problem-based experience promotes the use of online resources, collaboration among game players and critical thinking related to the storyline and problem-based activities. The ARG format works well with events to provide pre-event activity, introduce resource sharing and networking during the event and differentiating the event from others. Join this session to learn how an ARG can enhance any customer, employee, student or community event and some considerations for successful event-based alternate reality games.

- Charles Evoke - The goal of the social network game is to help empower people all over the world to come up with creative solutions to our most urgent social problems. World without Oil - WORLD WITHOUT OIL is a serious game for the public good. WWO invited people from all walks of life to contribute “collective imagination” to confront a real-world issue: the risk our unbridled thirst for oil poses to our economy, climate and quality of life. It’s a milestone in the quest to use games as democratic, collaborative platforms for exploring possible futures and sparking future-changing action.
