Over the past few months, the project team provided tidbits of clues regarding the game's plot in dribs and drabs. With the addition of Surry's website at SurryInvestigations.com, however, the slow trickle of information has increased to a steady stream of updates, and the hint of more to come. In January 2008, Aporia CME released the game's trailer. A month later, a promotional puzzle trail created to promote the LagTV Network ...Feed Source: feeds.feedburner.com Superstruct: (Re)Building Our Future - Our world is in deep trouble, and as the danger mounts, the Institute for the Future's Ten-Year Forecast team and Dr. Jane McGonigal have a new mission for you!

... Get off your Computer and Get a (War) Job - GamePro Magazine's August 2008 issue is offering a 10-page preview of Resistance 2. The GamePro website offered a sneak peek at the preview, leading to the trailhead for the rumored Resistance 2 ARG. Phew. Following so far?
One of the WWII-era advertisements directed me to visit GetaWarJob.com, a recruiting website for the American military. A business card on the website told me to dial 866-931-9417 to hear a rousing speech urging me to enlist. And without even realizing what I was doing, I found myself enlisting for military s... UPDATE: Prototype 161 Launches July 12 - For those that remember the postcard we received a few days ago with the enigmatic "Wish You Were Here" message, we can now point you towards something more than just a vague location in New York City. A comment was left for that article by prototype161, stating, "Infringement will not be tolerated. Your sticker has been removed." This led us to look at prototype161.com, which is the home of prototype161 investiagtions. There's a client section which offers solutions when "problems cannot be solved by ordinary methods," and a ...

Mailbox: From zombies to a mystery pole - It's turning out to be quite the summer for alternate reality games, or so the relentless parade of packages, letters and postcards to come through the ARGNet snail mail box seems to indicate. First up, from last week, is a lovely package from Lost Zombies, a new post-apocalyptic venture billing itself as "a community generated zombie documentary." Inside the package was a letter, a paperback copy of The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, and a retail DVD copy of 28 Days Later, the superb film by Danny Boyle. According to the letter (full text available after the jump), these materials "provide valuable insight ...

Come to the White Island, stay for the all night dancing! - Something is happening in Ibiza or so says the press release for The White Island, which filtered into the ARGNet tipline last week. The new alternate reality game began on June 1st, and involves dance music and late night parties across Europe. There are some interesting names connected to the project as well -- Pete Tong, known best for his work on BBC Radio 1 and for being the subject... If Looks Could Kill... *ZAP!* - Vroom vroom! The sleek champagne Toyota Camry zips around the corner, coming to a screeching halt. Out steps a leggy, ultra-fashionable African-American woman, arriving to hook up with her ultra-fashionable, successful boyfriend. She flips her keys to the valet - a little "blip blip!" sounds from the Camry's push-button car alarm, like Kit saying "see ya later!" to Knight Rider. Who is this woman? Where did she get such an awesome car with such swanky accoutrements? Where did she find that hunky boyfriend of hers? What does her rolling stone of a father have to do with the dudes who stole her purse? What kind of pie did Nana bake? And where on earth did she find those fantastic shoes?!
The latest in cross-media marketing mayhem produced by ... Dharma Needs A Few Gullible Men (and Women) - It should be no surprise to anyone who has been following the show LOST that there would be something special during the season finale. Fans were not disappointed. Close to the end of the episode, a mysterious commercial branded with "Paid for by ABC" aired, advertising a recruiting event for a company called Octagon Global Recruiting. They are looking for A LOT of "volunteers to assist in a range of unpaid positions" - a scrolling list displays diverse opportunities and skills ranging from Physicists, Mathematicians, and Botanical Researchers, to Drivers, Janitors, and Ex-Military. This recruiting event will be taking place in San Diego, July 24-27 wait, what's that, you say? Those...

The Dollhouse Welcomes You with Virally Goodness - Over at Furious Nads, The One True b!X (founder of Can't Stop the Serenity) reported receiving an email from Adelle DeWitt, a character in Joss Whedon's upcoming drama, Dollhouse. The email reads "Take Southlandlabs.com offline for now, whilst we redesign." The domain Adelle used for the email, AdelleDeWitt.com, currently displays a single login page.

Progress Report: The Sky Remains - A couple of weeks ago, ARGN received a witty recruitment letter from The Sky Remains 6th Dimension Detective Agency, kicking off "The Sky Remains," a much-anticipated game by Licorice Film.
If you haven't had a chance to jump in on "The Sky Remains", don't worry! The game is still "in progress," and Licorice Film has designed it in a way that allows players to follow the story at their own pace. In addition to the website, the player-maintained wiki is a good place to start, as is the "Useful Info" post for the game.
Curre... Be on the Lookout for the Red Seal -
Over the past few days, a wide variety of people have been finding mysterious envelopes in the mail. Identified only by a customized stamp with a red seal labeled "tb", the envelope contains one of four different letters, each encoded in a different ancient language. In addition, each letter includes a rather striking red seal with an ink blot encircled by superimposed characters.
J.C. Hutchins, a prominent podcaster, novelist and author of the 7th Son trilogy, notified ARGNet and UnFiction of his discovery, linking to a detailed post about the package including pictures of the contents on Flickr and a video...
