Thursday we will begin looking at Alternative Reality Gaming. For class read “The Puppet Master Problem” by Jane McGonigal. (This article is a critical piece, so save some extra time to read it.) Jane is one of the designers behind the now famous I Love Bees. Finally check out her latest project/ARG (now complete): The Lost Ring.
If you are unfamiliar with ARGs you might want to read the Wikipedia entry before you read the above article.

Forgot to mention, two recent projects that she was also involved with are Ruby’s Bequest, on the future of caring – http://www.rubysbequest.org/ and Superstruct – on how to save mankind from ourselves – http://www.superstructgame.org/.
Enjoy!
