[arg_discuss] Alternate Reality Game Jam (Idea)

[Brooke Thompson]

We actually had a "FestJam" this year as one of the workshop options -  
it was a bit intense with only 3 hours of time dedicated to small team  
get-together (though they could have met outside of that time). We  
thought some folks might enjoy getting together and creating  
something(s) that could be played during the festival - not  
necessarily an alternate reality game. The concept was fairly well  
received but there were a number of workshops competing for attention  
and more directed/driven where as the FestJam was unstructured outside  
of a signup to help find potential teammates. We did get one game out  
of it A Walk In: Atlanta...

more about the game & ARGFest later :)
