The Geek Hideout

Alternate reality game written by players »

Black Helix is an alternate reality game that has just launched at TheBlackHelix.com

Unlike most ARGs, players of Black Helix will become part of an unwritten story where at the end of the game we will be publishing the story as one of the world’s first player sourced ARG novels. The players alias names, information, research and sub plots that develop over the period of the game will all be integrated into the final story to create a unique ebook. The plot will revolve around the kidnapping and players must hunt both online and off to discover the victim’s whereabouts, the game will react to conversations on twitter and Facebook with the story changing accordingly and there will be a live interrogation on the website. Over a period of four weeks players will be engaged into an interactive game that will include live events, phone calls, real world tasks and a final role playing event.

If by “Battleship” you mean “PS3 Security” Then yes, Kevin. I sank your battleship.

Probably the best pwned tweet of all time, and even better @exiva does NOT own a PS3. Congrats to you Travis and you are now in the running for 2011 Geek of the Year! ;)
