Re: Educational Alternate Reality Game
Posted by Jay on 5/06/08

    Hi JE,

    The students will attempt to infiltrate a secret society known as
    the Apex of Khufu to acquire information about a mysterious
    artifact. To do so, they must undergo the online initiation of the
    Apex of Khufu. They are asked questions about history, art,
    literature, science, etc. and must find the requested information
    to proceed. There are a couple of place where they will need to
    text a character in the game and receive a reply. If you want, you
    could text for them and inform them of the reply when needed.
    There are other online services that allow texting without a cell
    phone. Try Google SMS:

    I would recommend going through part of it at least so you are
    familiar with the quest.

    Good luck!
