Hi all,

I'm wondering if any museums out there have successfully used games

for museum publicity and/or to increase attendance? I'm looking for

something beyond the stereotypical treasure hunt through the museum or

murder mystery night but more along the lines of Alternate Reality

Games (ARGs), extended treaure hunts over a period of time (like come

back each week for a new clue) or other types of games.

If your museum has done such a thing or if you have taken part in a

game, I'd be interested in knowing about it. (Probably off-list unless

others are interested.)

Here's an article on ARGs for those of you who aren't familiar with

them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game

Thanks in advance!!

Deb
