Se você está pensando -- Mas que treco é isso aí ?? -- Esse guia deve dar umas dicas para você e te colocar no páreo.

Vista Geral

O que são as Olimpíadas? Você sabe responder? Fácil? Se você acha que pode. dê uma segunda olhada - tem certeza ?

O ARG Find The Lost Ring é um projeto organizado por um grupo de equipes com bastante experiência no gênero ARG, incluindo Jane McGonigal (de World Without Oil), AKQA (de Iris), patrocinado por ninguém menos do que McDonald's, e em cooperação com o próprio Comitê Olímpico Internacional . Pode-se dizer que promete ser um jogo em grande estilo, unindo comunidades de todo o planeta em várias línguas.

O seu objetivo final ainda é desconhecido, mas a descoberta é a graça do jogo.
Estima-se que aconteça de março até agosto, chegando a milhões de participante !
Pera aí ! O que é um "ARG"?
"ARG" quer dizer "Alternate Reality Game". Está bem explicado em Wikipedia. Mas basicamente significa uma experiência fictícia que se mescla com o mundo real.

E sobre o que é esse ARG ?

In Short?
There's a history to the Olympics that's been hidden for centuries, even millennia - a set of events dating back to ancient Greece that were erased and long forgotten. And today, six amnesiatic strangers woke up in various places (forms of Labyrinths, no less) around the world wearing athletic garments, and tattooed with the phrase "Trovu la ringon perditan" - "Find the lost ring". Now they're seeking our help to find out who they are, where they're from, what their purpose is, and just what the heck is going on around here.
Expect to dig into legends, Greek mythology, ancient Greek lore and philosophy - and don't forget that there's lot of 'new' stuff to learn that no one yet knows (at least, knowledge that has been lost to our modern civilization).

Join with others around the world, communicating across language barriers - even learn Esperanto if you like - in an attempt to help our six amnesiacs 'save the world'.

So where do I start?

That depends - you may want to learn the story, the events that have happened up until the time of this writing.
On the other hand, you may want to find a community to join, find out how to interact with others and get caught up first hand.
You may want to jump in where we're at right now and learn about the past events over time.

Everyone's got a strength, a role to play in the community... if you unsure of yours yet, unsure of what you can do or how you can join in, you'll soon find out. Don't be afraid of the story, don't be afraid of the puzzles, don't be afraid of the community. Embrace it, explore, and have fun!
Find a community?
Depending on the language you're most familiar with, certain websites and communities may be more at home for you. Since this is an English site, references will be more focused on English communities, but it's not closed to listing others (in fact, we encourage it!)

Read up on the game's timeline?
February 29th, specially couriered packages arrived at many homes around the world - bloggers, industry heads, and ARG veterans... we call this package the Trailhead.
  • Step 1) Find out what mysterious contents kicked off the game here: Trailhead

That package gave us four milestones within a week's time:
  1. Find her...
  2. Find the others...
  3. Find him...
  4. Find the secret...
Since February 29th, those very things have been happening. Our heroine Ariadne was found at Findthelostring.com (thanks to some helpful tips in the trailhead package). Shortly after, five more people like her were found scattered around the net, having woken in similar circumstances. Enter: Diego, Markus, MeiHui, Noriko, and Lucie.

However, on the heels of these discoveries, we found a man named Eli Hunt - a historian who's been studying Ancient Greece and mysteries surrounding what he calls the "Lost Games". His website TheLostGames.com he set up to share his research, including a few podcasts in which he quite articulately describes his research and finding about the ancient 'lost games'.

The connections between our six amnesiacs and his research is astounding. But for some reason he was quite closed and stand-offish about listening to the crazy testimonies of these six random youth. But with enough convincing, he decided to listen, and has embraced this mystery as part of his own.

Not only that, Eli has secrets of his own. As predicted, "the secret" was found - a level to his research he kept private, to himself, until today. In a relatively secret revealing podcast, he dedicated his time and work to help Ariadne and those of us also already dedicated to the cause.

...The trailhead package also included a fifth milestone, supposedly slated for August 24th, 2008:
  • Save the world...
How? No one knows... But August 24th is the date of the closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing.

  • Step 2) Read up on the events since the February 29th launch: Timeline
Get a grasp of the bigger plot?
Research and discovery is an ongoing process. Thankfully, there are some resources that are set up to help.
  • At the very least, Google is your friend and Wikipedia rocks.
  • Officially, Thelostring.com includes a handy photo collage connecting various people and friends
  • Primarily, Eli Hunt's website Thelostgames.com contains Eli's podcasts which fill in a lot of background about these mysterious ancient, lost games, and how they may be connected to our six amnesiacs.
  • On this wiki, the Glossary lists many researchable, mysterious, strange, ancient terms and such. As more is discovered, the more these things will connect and make since in the bigger picture.

So what now?

Well, if you're caught up, then you're with the rest of us. There are outstanding things we need people to help with, so check that out too. Then join us, eagerly and impatiently awaiting the next tidbit of information for our immediate consumption in our passionate and urgent strive to save the world.

Welcome to the game...
