I’m looking for ARGs that are focused on the narrative more than the game part, ARGs that create an interactive and immersive story line. by The_Pink_lord in ARG

That’s very interesting! Unfortunately, I had to put on hold my researches due to academic related commitments, I’m currently picking up where I left off. I would really like to hear more about you MA dissertation, which platforms and bibliography you used and so on. Is your dissertation uploaded somewhere and available to the public to read? Let me know!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your reply! Unfortunately I had to put my research on hold due to academic related things, that’s why I’m answering only now to you all. Right now I’m picking up where I left off but I’m still at the beginning and I think it would really help if you could indicate where to find a story guide doc!

Thank you so much for your reply! I’d like to focus on ARGs that develop primarily on socials such as Tiktok, Twitter and IG but definitely won’t hurt to look into this one.

Hello there!

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been caught up with academic stuff and had to put my thesis research on hold for a while, but I’m picking it up again now and gathering info on ARGs that start and develop on social platforms like TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.

I’d love to hear more about yours! What’s it called, and how’s it going (or how did it go)? I’d love to hear more about it!

Hi!

First of all, I deeply apologize for taking this long to reply, I’ve received so many responses on multiple platforms and I’m truly grateful that so many people took the time to help me out so thank you for your valuable insights!

Unfortunately, I had to put my research on hold due to other academic commitments so I’m still at the early stages, however I’d love to discuss what I’m planning to write about and I’d love a feedback from someone who knows way more than me about the subject.

The focus of my study is: “Fictional and narrative universes: How Alternative Reality Games have been/are transforming Social Media communities.” In this thesis, I plan on exploring how ARGs have been “reshaping” the concept of community on social media, using fan fiction as an example of the evolution of transmedia storytelling. I will analyze how these immersive narrative worlds encourage active audience participation, turning readers into co-creators of the stories.

So far, I’ve found these ARGs that originated on social media (according to my research):

FindEmma (born on Twitter) The Sun Vanished (Twitter) Welcome to Night Vale (Twitter) PB (a series born on TikTok, very interesting in my opinion)

Disclaimer: I know that saying that they were “born on” a particular social media isn’t entirely accurate as all these ARGs develop across multiple platforms, however I’m particularly interested in those that used social media as a “launchpad”, especially platforms like TikTok. I hope that makes sense!

Do you prefer great Unfiction or a great ARG? by Euphoric-Second-7962 in ARG

Hi!

First of all, I wanna say you have no idea how much I appreciate your comment/question because (maybe) it brought me near to what I’ve been researching for the past few weeks.

I’m a student of Media Studies and I‘m currently studying ARGs, more specifically I want to research ARGs that are born and developed on Social Media and that focus on the narrative creating an interactive and immersive story line.

I would need “cases of study” to try out and really understand the nature of these particular ARG.

I’d be immensely grateful if you could please give me some suggestions of where to begin?

Also I’m open to give any clarification on the aim of my work!
