[edit] ARG overview

Main article: Alternate reality game

At first glance, the alternate reality game may seem confusing. It started in 2007 with a letter to video game news sites that led people to the game's website. Since then, many ARG puzzles have been released asking the community to solve them in order to receive information. The riddles are solved by the collaboration of many community members working together on the official forums. Many different types of puzzles have been solved, including ones requiring ciphers, visual and audio analysis, and knowledge of real world history and lore.
