BRAZIL
Brazil has perhaps the largest established non-English-language ARG players due to the extensive media coverage and player-numbers of ‘Zona Incerta’. Like all ARGs however, there are usually only a few hard-core (ARG skilled) players. Brazil has many ARG playing groups in the main social networking site: Orkut. It also has an ARG wiki to summarise ARGs (and ARG-like games): www.argbrasil.net.

Cosmo Larapio (Superinteressante I) January/Janeiro 2006, created by Superinteressante (science & general interest magazine)
André Sirangelo explains that ‘the game began with a single page article published on a science & general interest magazine called Superinteressante. Incapable of finding a picture or illustration for the article, the editors decided to create a little arg-like game and published nothing but a note saying “This illustration was stolen – help us find it at super.abril.com.br/arg”.’ (Sirangelo, 2008). Due to the success of this mini-game, Superinteressante commissioned ‘Zona Incerta’.

The ARG began with advertisements of Purifica Institute on MTV with URL to www.institutopurifica.com.br. Players signed up for news & received game information & missions from the ingame listserv. Multiple player-created gameplay groups were created in Orkut. The game provoked a discussion about the democratization of the media and resulted in players creating own media site: Social Memory (www.memoriasocial.net). A sequel, ‘Teoria das Cordas’, was commissioned.

The ARG caused controversy when a Senator believed the fake footage (video), as co-designer André Sirangelo explains:

Basically the villains of our game were a company with a project to buy the Amazon rainforest and turn it into an area under private control, which of course has always been a delicate issue in Brazil. […] So we put a video out on YouTube – http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=LPrdeL2Lr98 – in which a fake CEO said the amazon doesn’t belong to any country etc. etc. The buzz was just OK in the first 2 months, so we didn’t expect much more of it… until the press found out about the video and forwarded it to the Senate. […] [O]ne of the most important senators in Brasilia made a speech alerting the people and the government against the menace of this multinational corporation that wanted to buy the amazon. I believe he even showed the video in the session. So the next day there were a few websites (including the senate’s) that ran stories on the subject. Among other things, they said the senate was trying to contact the company looking to start an inquiry. It wasn’t long until some journalists connected the dots and found out the company didn’t exist. That’s when it really exploded – after all, there are lots of companies that actually do want to buy the rainforest, but it’s not every day a powerful senator makes a speech about one that doesn’t really exist. So we made the cover of the country’s biggest newspaper. Suddenly the game was on every news channel and every major news website. […] So because of our sponsors we had to break TINAG and apologize to the senator, which was right I believe. Surprisingly, he was OK about the whole thing when he found out, he even made jokes about it. (Sirangelo, 2007)

Other impacts:

• The players created a “National ARG Day” (March 30th) (Sirangelo, 2007)
• “Because of the ‘incident’ with the senator and Arkhos Biotech I related before, plus the fake protests we organized during George W’s visit to Brazil, the press coverage was gigantic. The game was featured in every major newspaper and television network , magazines like the brazillian Rolling Stone and Carta Capital (weekly news coverage), most of the popular online news portals, tons of websites and even the foreign press, because of the Reuters coverage of Bush’s visit.” (Sirangelo, 2008)
• Case study written by university students: Carolina Cristina Da Silva, Daniela De Souza Pereira, Érica Benites Manssour, Luana Helena Coelho, Monalisa Nascimento Fidelis, Moises De Agiar Junior, Nataly Guimaraes Muranaka, Nivea Audrey Gomes Boa Nova (2007) ‘ALTERNATE REALITY GAME: ANÁLISES TEÓRICAS E PRÁTICAS’, Monografia de Mídias Digitais da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo, sob orientação do professor Sérgio Dassie Genciauskas, UNIVERSIDADE METODISTA DE SÃO PAULO FACULDADE DE COMUNICAÇÃO MULTIMÍDIA, CURSO DE MÍDIAS DIGITAIS, São Bernardo do Campo.

Engima Due to the lack of information about the extent of this project, I’m not sure if this is an ARG or not. ‘Enigma’ was created by Grafikonstruct to market the Nokia N95. It included a website for the fictional character ‘Mr. Zadeh Dubois’. It appeared to run for two months from September 13th 2007 to Dec 14th 2007.
