This was online ARG created as a group project during my third year of college.

I mostly focused on managing the technical aspects of the social media accounts and providing additional artworks as needed by the team.

The storyline of the ARG followed a company called 'Hindsight' who allegedly invented a time machine and the rebel 'Julia' who is trying to stop them.

Real-world players would begin the game watching the introductory 'meeting footage' and use hidden clues to chase after a series of online puzzles.

Along the way, players would learn more about how Hindsight used people with their fake time machine and solve the cause of death for Julia's uncle.

If the players managed to finish all the puzzles, they would be given a few different pieces.

A specific time, date, and a website link.

Putting these together, it would lead them to a virtual meet-up celebration. They had the chance to talk with the puzzle designers and jam out with our dj.

Eventually, the party drew to a close and we thanked everyone for playing.

Although the ARG is no longer being actively hosted online, some footage of the playtesters were taken along with a game doc summerizing the event.

It was interesting seeing the different pieces of the puzzles come together.
