ARG: Alternate Reality Game



The EverymanHYBRID project that we are exploring is classified as an  Alternate Reality Game.
Wikipedia defines ARGs as:

"an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and uses transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions."

Transmedia storytelling is defined as:

" the technique of telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats using current digital technologies."

Many ARG's are not a threat to inter-dimensional security.  However, there are potential risks for malicious violations of Universal laws that are inherent to ARGs, because transmedia storytelling allows for fluid movement of ideas, and entities between universes.
EverymanHYBRID has caught the attention of the IDSO because it is associated with a powerful supernatural terrorist known as Slender Man.
