Toronto Public Library Launches ARG
Hand Eye Society Executive Director Jim Munroe writes:
Today is the launch of KTR 451, a game I developed for the Toronto Public Library. Drawing on the themes and characters in Fahrenheit 451 (the TPL’s One Book this year), it’s a simple alternate reality game — part scavenger hunt, part audio drama — and you play it by calling the phone number above, (647) 931-1585. There’s three missions, one per week, until it ends with a live event on April 22nd.
On a related subject, the Hand Eye and the Toronto Public Library are also exploring partnership possibilities for November’s International Games In Libraries Day. People who love libraries as much as games are encouraged to get in touch if they’d like to get involved or to contribute ideas!
