Today my attention was directed to the latest global ARG from Jane McGonigal (see also:I Love Bees and World Without Oil) - The Lost Ring. The story revolves around the mystery of an ancient olympic sport 'banned' from the games for reasons yet unknown, and the discovery of a handful of athletes with no memory and only a few clues to guide them.

The global community must help to uncover the artifacts and piece together the puzzle, contributing ideas and testing theories to gain the knowledge required to make sense of the game.

I am only part way through the story so far as it kicked off at the start of March, but the game is well worth a look.
