# Welcome to the CloverVault! > The Cloververse ARG is a series of interconnected games that expand the narrative universe of the Cloverfield film franchise. The ARG began with the untitled trailer before the first Transformers movie and quickly grew after the announcement/teaser at San Diego Comic Con for an upcoming Godzilla-like monster [Bad Robot](https://badrobot.com/) project that would later become the 2007 original "Cloverfield" movie and later continued with the subsequent films "10 Cloverfield Lane" (2016) and "The Cloverfield Paradox" (2018). Through the ARG, players explore the Cloverfield universe, uncovering details about the characters, storylines, and the mysterious corporation known as Tagruato. > [!FAQ]- What's an ARG? > An ARG, or **Alternate Reality Game**, is an interactive, multimedia storytelling experience that combines elements of puzzles, games, and narrative to create an immersive world that often extends into the real world. Players engage with the story by solving riddles, decoding messages, and uncovering hidden information across various platforms such as websites, social media, phone calls, physical locations, and more. ARGs often involve collaborative efforts, where players form communities to share findings and work together to progress through the game. > > ARGs are designed to blur the line between fiction and reality, creating a sense of immersion and engagement that goes beyond traditional storytelling methods.
