What is the difference between an Alternate Reality Game and an Augmented Reality Game?
All these terms are so new the boundaries are still being explored. One way to think about these two concepts people are trying to talk about with these slightly different terms is that “Alternate Reality Games” strive to replace reality with a well-developed, real-seeming fiction, while “Augmented Reality Games” begin with real reality and build onto it – augmenting it, improving the way we interact with it or function within it, but not replacing the real reality with a fictional reality.
