Classic ARGs in 2007: My Geist, Sammeeeees2 and NyTakma
All completed and enjoyed by the players. None were marketing, viral, timewasters or simple puzzle trails. Just ARG in what I feel is the “pure” form.

What?! No mention of Deus City / Tcotsa? if for no other reason than to bash it as usual? Let the blackballing stop!
