Alternate Reality Gaming Network:
Film to Feature Text-Messaging Hunt
by Steve Peters
May 13, 2005
The recent trailer for the upcoming thriller "Cry Wolf" seems to be promoting an accompanying text-messaging game of some sort. The film, scheduled for an August 2005 release, revolves around a series of murders that are foretold by someone using AIM®, giving warning about where the victims will be found.
At the end of the trailer, the following text appears:
"Use your cell phone to text your AIM® screen name to CWOLF (29653) and use AIM® on your phone to get in on the hunt!"
It looks like an interesting film, but we have no idea whether this will lead to anything beyond some spammy text messages, but time will tell. Watch for updates if this turns into something ARGish.
