GISKIN is an immersive cellphone adventure, the history-culture tour "for people who don't do audio tours."

I work on schools projects that draw a lot on ARG-like thinking, though I'm not sure I can out-right call them ARGs: role play and mission-based paths through immersive experiences, usually spanning a few consecutive days. I've done a post-mortem on one of my projects that may be useful for others working (or considering working) in this way: <a href="http://npugh.co.uk/blog/how_to_wow_day_1/" rel="nofollow">http://npugh.co.uk/blog/how_to_wow_day_1/ </a> Also bits and pieces get posted to my blog under this tag: <a href="http://npugh.co.uk/tag/schools/" rel="nofollow">http://npugh.co.uk/tag/schools/</a>. YMMV! Hi, thanks for this listing – really valuable!
