Exclusive: “Find Me Event” Starts to Unveil the Grand Design Zach Oldenburg, October 12, 2011October 18, 2011 You guys remember the article we did on Find Me Event, right? It’s the alternate reality game where the viewer helps free a prisoner from the clutches of the evil Architect. Well, the day of reveal is almost upon us and we’re now starting to put the pieces of the mystery together. To see what Find Me Event is all about, hit the jump. Find Me Event is an ARG (alternate reality game) launching this October, where the viewer must solve riddles, decode cryptic puzzles, and piece together clues to help find the location of a certain missing someone. This real-time event allows you to communicate via social networks with the characters. You yourself become part of this living, breathing horror story. I won’t give away too much, but I had a chance to talk with the project’s creator, and let me say that Find Me Event is something you’re really gonna wanna look out for. – excerpt from ‘Exclusive: “Find Me Event” asks your help to stop the Architect’Now that you’re all caught up to speed from our first article, I will now begin with what new information we’ve been given.Just recently, the Architect released a video message that includes a very awesome demonstration of what the actual game will look like.
