ARG: Sammeeeees

Sammeeeees.
Formula for getting a good ARG - Send SpaceBass a package, filled with petals + Have some of the main characters ARG players + Have a character send lots of packages. = A rocking hard ARG.

This formula does not do justice.

The Story:
Well, there's QUITE a lot of it.

But, to be honest, i've lost the plot myself.

Anyway - The main goal currently is to stop Spoocheeeee(The ARG's bad team) from pretty much controlling the world by retrieving all 5 pieces of the Spoocheeeee disc. Here's konamouse(squeek)'s EXCELLENT recap topic in unforum.

The puzzles:
Man, the puzzles. They are quite good.

In around the middle of the ARG, one of the characters posted a flickr with lots of camera photos of a book with codes in it. danteIL currently has this book, but there was quite a few puzzles in the book.

And then there was finding of the Twinz, who liked to email in reverse writing. And all we got at the beginning was a lot of numbers(See said story so far for more information).

The interaction:
Well, there's no instant messaging in this ARG - But there is a lot of emailing. And i remember Alan Johnson(The ARG's main bad guy) saying that he would do a conference call one day.
And there's a lot of blogs.
I mean a lot.

Review:
Rather good story, puzzles and interaction. And the images are quite good.
10/10.

I haven't really done much for this post - Blogger was being hellish. But i'll come back to it.

Hopefully i'll find time to update on the ARG every week.
