New Alternative Reality – The Jejune Institute

March 8th, 2009 by jtony

For the past couple of months I’ve been playing a new Alternative Reality Game. Becase it starts with your induction into a small 70′s throwback cult called The Jejune Institute, that’s what most folks know the ARG as, but since the Jejunists haven’t played a very heavy roll in the game past that induction, it doesn’t seem a very fitting title.

The game is physically based in San Francisco, playing within several neighborhoods including important elements that occur in the Financial District, ChinaTown, North Beach, and most heavily recently, the Mission.

Last week I danced with Bigfoot and a red sweatsuited hip-hop guy in the rain on 24th Street near Mission. This in order to receive a visual transcript of a radio piece that would allow us to finish off some specific tasks. Pretty damned amazing.

You can get the visuals and the flavor of last week’s Mission mission at http://www.ornitopterjumsuit.com and see Bryce and I “physically jamming” the negative energies emenating from the Jejune Institute.

If you want to get started on your own, go to http://www.jejuneinstitute.com to plan your visit to their facilities. The induction itself takes less than half an hour, but plan for a good 2 hours of fun treasure hunting after that.

More as things occur.

    Damn Damn and double damn.
    I was really hoping to get to dance wiht the goddamned Yeti.
    I didn’t realize it was a one shot to get your transcripts. Didnt want to pry as to where it came in, as i just assumed you had all done all your bits already, didn;t realize you were a dancer too!
    I’d have paid twice as much to have gotten to do some yeti dancing.
    Double damn again.

    Which of the street prophets did you end up connecting with?

    I am an ARG newbie and only just discovered this game from a blog posting about the meetup flashmob of Jejune Inst gamers meeting at Union Square (as of writing this comment) one week ago.

    Is the game over or may a newbie latecomer still participate in this game?

    Thanks.
