Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) challenge what players understand as
"real." Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay is
the first collection to explore and define the possibilities of
ARGs. Though prominent examples have existed for more than two
decades, only recently have ARGs come to the prominence as a unique
and highly visible digital game genre. Adopting many of the same
strategies as online video games, ARGs blur the distinction between
real and fictional. With ARGs continuing to be an important and
blurred space between digital and physical gameplay, this volume
offers clear analysis of game design, implementation, and
ramifications for game studies. Divided into three distinct
sections, the contributions include first hand accounts by leading
ARG creators, scholarly analysis of the meaning behind ARGs, and
explorations of how ARGs are extending digital tools for analysis.
By balancing the voices of designers, players, and researchers,
this collection highlights how the Alternate Reality Game genre is
transforming the ways we play and interact today.
