Conspiracy For Good- Tim Kring & Company P launch ARG for social good

Tim Kring, of Heroes and Heroes Evolutions, has partnered with The Company P, creators of the highly successful ARG The Truth about Marika, in this ARG for social change. Nokia appears as their 'preferred partner.'

The Blog hints at a running ARG game, with a mysterious illustrated book that requires a code to unlock

The site seems to be largely oriented towards encouraging fans to get involved through posting links & information on charities they are interested in & so far there are links for helping the homeless in Mayfair, Children in Sierra Leone, and fostering creativity in kids.

The emphasis on interactive storytelling suggests that the site will function as a forum for participatory storytelling as fans as heroes 'write' the stories they are interested in and heroes of. See Rules below

'Rules

How to participate

Think of this as a movie where YOU are the hero! It’s okay to just sit back and watch, but trust us, you’ll be missing out on the real excitement. Live the adventure, read the signs, fight the bad guys. Welcome to the ride of your life… this is merely the beginning!
