January 8, 2007

Posted by Clare in: Events | Watershed | Technology | Gaming | Trackback

Immerse yourself in a world of intrigue, an alternate reality running parallel to your own. MeiGeist is an Alternative Reality Game, created by Bristol-based Licorice Film. Blending humour and short film with code-breaking and clues (the more traditional elements of an ARG) it is the largest grass roots game of its type produced in the UK.

MeiGeist is free to play and launches mid January 2007 for 8 weeks. Sign up now to receive a cryptic message when the game starts: http://www.enter-geist.com

An Alternative Reality Game or ‘ARG’ is a form of cross media narrative that blends fiction with reality.
