(Click Here) > 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. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as marketing campaigns, promotion of movies or TV shows, educational purposes, or simply as a form of entertainment. ## How to Use This Documentation This curated knowledge base will aggregate and document out all of facts, timelines, narratives, and various elements that make up the Cloververse.
