Hi Underscore - 

Sign up to play Geist now and hope to see you at the live event happening
Œsome time¹ in Bristol....


Immerse yourself in a world of intrigue, an alternate reality running
parallel to your own. Geist is an Alternative Reality Game, created by
Bristol-based Licorice Films. Blending humour and short film with
code-breaking and clues (the more traditional elements of an ARG) it is the
largest non-commercially funded game of its type produced in the world.

Geist is free to play and launches mid January 2007 for 8 weeks. Sign up now
to receive a cryptic message when the game starts:

An Alternative Reality Game or ŒARG¹ is a form of cross media narrative that
blends fiction with reality.
