Yet another pivot to video that is most certainly not, as stated, an alternate reality game.

New ARG alert. I’ve only done a little digging but looks interesting so far. Also got a newsletter email this morning: r.newsletter.pantaloon.io/mk/mr/sh/SMJ...

There is a severe lack of 10-minute ARGs in the world. JC Hutchins just released a new one as portfolio piece, and it's a delightful reminder that immersive can come in snackable sizes, too. quantent.io

Immersive Phantom / Masquerade NYC puzzle! Account associated with the game emailed the below to me. It's a fun, not-too-hard puzzle that's even on theme. ...and because I'm just a little extra, tracked down the in-universe paper. Not useful for the puzzle, just fun and my laundry is still drying.
