Hmm. This is a tough one to present. An Alternate Reality game is an elaborate creation in which players get to participate within a storyline, potentially even affecting the outcome of the game. As such, these are very carefully curated experiences, though not designed experiences.

This is, oddly, a very interesting statement on the place of design in our culture. Anyhow, check out the case study video to learn more, or visit the case study site for much more context.

More goodies after the jump.
