    4. What is an ARG?
      An ARG is “an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform to tell a story that may
      be affected by participants’ ideas or actions.” Wikipedia
      An ARG is “an adventure you have in real life.” Jane McGonigal
      An ARG is “an interactive, trans-media narrative that evolves in response to what its players
      do.” World Without Oil
      An ARG is “a game that allows players (like you) to interact with a fictitious world using real world elements.” The Lost Ring
      “ARGs are “engaging narrative entertainment delivered across multiple platforms – web, phone, video, audio, even the street where you live.” No Mimes Media
      An ARG should “inspire and encourage people to step outside of their everyday lives and look at the world from a different perspective” Star Spider

    9. Telling the Story
      “You know, in thinking about it, this doesn't
      make any sense... Why would the Smithsonian
      send a stripper to a place like ARGFest to get
      this going? I mean, think about it, a borderline
      government agency sending a stripper to a
      convention in a hotel? That would be front
      page news on The Drudge Report!”

    19. The End
      “They rest. They really do. All of them. McD has vanished, his fame secured by
      the artifacts that players of Ghosts Of A Chance made in his honor. Blanche
      escaped the traps of life; she is free to discover whatever there is to discover,
      and this time in peace and comfort. WhatFor is free for all time. The Reverend
      is beyond temptation; he languishes in a goodly repose.”
