New ARG by Jane McGonigal for the New York Public Library

Find the Future is a new ARG by Jane McGonigal for the New York Public Library:

Starting May 21, 2011 anyone, anywhere in the world can play Find the Future -- by visiting the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in New York City, or by logging into the game site at nypl.org/game.

But on the night of May 20, 2011, five hundred daring people will become the first in the world to play Find the Future. They’ll experience the overnight adventure of a lifetime, including the chance to stay at the Library from dusk ‘til dawn -- and explore its treasures as never before.

You could be one of the 500 to Write All Night. Here’s how.

_________________________.”

Based on your creativity, originality and determination in completing Quest #1, we’ll pick 500 people to become the first in the world to play Find the Future -- and to stay overnight at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in New York City.

The overnight game runs from 8 PM to 6 AM... and by sunrise, you’ll be an author.
