Dan Hon ARGs In Charity And Education.Key
The document criticizes common tropes and practices in alternate reality games (ARGs). It argues that ARGs often have too narrow an audience, rely on obscure puzzles over fun gameplay, and focus excessively on intricate story elements rather than enjoyable player experiences. The author suggests ARG designers focus on crafting short, social, and repeatably fun games that appeal to broader audiences through storytelling rather than puzzles or obscure clues.
