Note: often an ARG is named by the community. Alternative names that exist appear on the specific investigation's main page.

ARGs

These fully-fledged ARGs are confirmed to be the "real deal"; they can include puzzles, characters, and plotlines which the community can interact with.

Investigations

These are trails that have been investigated by the community, but have either concluded in nothing, or in the discovery of a mere Easter egg rather than an actual ARG.

Notes

Type

  • Official - Affiliated with source material, game studio or related organisation.
  • Independent - Not affiliated with any source material or a specific organisation. Often an entirely original story.
  • Community - As 'Independent', but created by one or more GD community members/for the community. Often, trailheads and clues appear primarily on community resources.
  • Investigation - No ARG or puzzle has been confirmed. In the majority of cases, clues have been discovered. This may be used temporarily before such a time that confirmation has been made, or may be a permanent status. Sometimes investigations will reveal a simple marketing gimmick or similar.

Status

  • Active - Known to be ongoing. Clues are still appearing, or attempts to resolve existing ones are still underway.
  • Closed - The investigation has completed to its logical conclusion (it has been solved), the puppetmaster is confirmed to have permanently ceased progress or a fixed time limit has been exceeded (as with an ARG running alongside a sale, etc.).
