gamers want more than action…

They want to be immersed in a game’s lore.

so we created A dynamic, AI integrated campaign and a

SUPER  A.R.G.

*augmented reality game

  • An ARG is a form of interactive storytelling that blurs the lines between the real world and a fictional one, using elements like websites, social media and even phone calls to deliver a story and puzzles that players must work together to solve.

Using chatgpt, We added a custom gpt recruiter…

and we used it to get deep in the weeds on some nerd s**t.

read on to see the full s.a.r.g.

HELLDIVERS 2 is unique in that there is a wildly active community of over 2 million players across various social platforms. Players often role-play their in-game characters on these socials, communicating as if our real world is the world of HELLDIVERS 2. They are active on X, Reddit, forums and in the game itself — it’s the perfect game for an ARG, not to mention the upcoming release of a HELLDIVERS film.

A cooperative multiplayer Player vs. Environment shooter, teams of 4 players have to work together to win the video game.

We’re going to make them work together in squads of four IRL to win our A.R.G., getting merch and VIP tickets to the red carpet premiere of the HELLDIVERS film.

The game starts with our CHATGPT recruitment terminal and the vandalized out of home ads.

player 1

enters headline from OOH

Curious readers will enter

one of the vandalized OOH headlines

into rec-1 chatbot...

“It’s not

just service,

it’s suicide”

once the headline is entered into the bot, it works as a passphrase.

the recruiter bot switches to A secret rebel comms network hidden inside.

this new, unlocked bot will be the main ARG mechanic and game-runner.

The new AI chatbot becomes our game-runner — it replies with a location:

“it’s n0t safe to talk for long here. Meet me aT 38°34'31"N 78°21'26"W ”

if player 1 goes to the given location,

They find hellpod 1 — 

a care package full of merch and goodies.

Inside, a helmet with a heads up display tells of three more pods for three more rebelious players; The players will have to work together to find them, as the puzzles and locations will get increasingly harder to crack.

THe race to find the other

hidden packages is on.

REC-1 Super Earth Recruitment Terminal


REB-1 Rebel Comms Network

player 2

We will hide secret voice codes inside of the Automaton warfront.

On rare occasion, a lone Automaton will run up to players and shout a binary code at players.

Players must record and save the footage, playing it backwards to get a secret code to be entered into the rebel network to recieve a series of challenges.

player 3

We will hack the X (formerly Twitter) feed of HELLDIVERS 2 with binary code. Those who enter the binary code into the rebel network will receive a series of challenges.

Connect-the-dot puzzles

Cryptograms

player 2

player 4

player 4

We will comment and post slightly unpatriotic things on the reddit boards r/helldivers2 and r/helldivers as u/SuperRedacted.

We will not explicitly post — players MUST go to our page and evaluate our posts for clues and hints for a code to progress the game and receive a series of challenges.

Once the passphrases from each platform are entered into the chatbot, The game-runner Will begin to offer different clues and puzzles to each player, including:

High above, it — gleaning — shows, a symbol for the weak to know.

With roaring sounds and pattered shells, it make the ground a living hell.

But there is one of which it seems, to rend and break the freedom dreams. On friends, on foes, on points, with beams, this is the federal death machine.

What am I?

Riddles

Mathematics and coding puzzles

Plus more — rising in difficulty as the game progresses.

after A player completes five puzzles, they will be given locations to find one of

the final 3 hellpods.

Each winning player gets to keep the package, gets unique merch items, and gets tickets to the upcoming helldivers film premiere in hollywood,

where they will be hailed as the dastardly, deplorable enemies of super earth that they have proven they are.

all For democracy.

thanks for reading. Please someone at Arrowhead see this and hire CT and I to make this game a reality.

*If the informant trusts you, determined by a series of conversations, they will identify themselves as Lucian Calderan - a veteran of S.E.A.F. (Super Earth Armed Forces).

He’s full of lore and ideas, and will help you find your way through the ARG with clues and hints. The more helpful you are to it, the more helpful it is to you.
