Alternate Reality Games “an interacNve narraNve that uses the real world as a plaLorm and uses transmedia to deliver a story that takes place in real Nme and evolves according to parNcipants responses. Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-‐based challenges and puzzles, and collaborate as a community to analyze the story and coordinate acNviNes -‐ the internet is the central binding medium.” WIKIPEDIA

Curiosity, Mystery, Intrigue – and Assessment VERSUS: “I’m paying X amount per year” “I just want a ﬁrst” “What do I need to do to get a ﬁrst?”

Email (fire fighNng) Hi all, Thanks to you lot and your detecNve work (and gezng me his email address ;) I’ve just made contact with the mysterious Rufi Franzen. Firstly, you’ll be relieved to know that you have nothing to worry about in terms of data security – there have been no breaches of security. I can’t say any more at the moment as I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so I need you to trust me on this. What I do know is that this is going somewhere good – amazing in fact. I don’t know much more at this stage, and I’m not sure I’m going to be told. Anyway, let’s chat about it tomorrow – remember the feedback session 3-‐5 in 3.34! See you tomorrow. This is crazy – but ace. Helen

Learners driving the curriculum

“I feel inspired by this” “The numbers beneath his Steve Jobs vid come back as crackthecode” “We could make a class crowd-‐sourced ﬁlm” “I’ll open a Google Doc and get everybody to pitch in their ideas”

Solving puzzles, cracking codes

TransformaNons “I will always remember Ruﬁ, and the way it has forced me to think about certain things. “You now have me pouring over I’d love this way of teaching all the blogs. The subtlety and to become a permanent deliciousness of this game and ﬁxture in our educaNon how you all dealt with each system (I’ve just wriben issue on a day to day basis is 1200 words on a Friday staggering… it is good to know night for God’s sake, and that I played a part in possibly it’s not even for an the greatest thing I have ever assignment!)” been exposed to…”

So was it worth the RISK? “Just so pleased to have been involved in this ARG, “this is something I’ll never Ruﬁ will live forever!” forget” “Today I realized just how amazing the small things in life can be. Yes, this is a massive cliché but, yes, it “It was incredible, we all is true!” watched in the rain as passers by watched the “This was a fantasNc learning work we had created, experience; The intrigue, the broadcast on a huge screen teamwork, the puzzle solving; in one of the most famous Everyone who has taken part in ciNes in the world. the process has brought their own theories and ideas, everyone has helped solve a lible bit of the puzzle.” “I wanna do it again!”
