Quotes from Tweets:
“I’m so scared”
“This is creepy”
“I’m getting worried about this”
“Serious data protection implications”
“I have a red hot poker ready…”
Hi all, Thanks to you lot and your detec^ve work (and geing me his email address ;) I’ve just made contact with the mysterious Rufi Franzen. Firstly, you’ll be relieved to know that you have nothing to worry about in terms of data security – there have been no breaches of security. I can’t say any more at the moment as I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so I need you to trust me on this. What I do know is that this is going somewhere good – amazing in fact. I don’t know much more at this stage, and I’m not sure I’m going to be told. Anyway, let’s chat about it tomorrow – remember the feedback session 3-‐5 in 3.34! See you tomorrow. This is crazy – but ace. Helen

“Best TV programme I’ve watched in ages!” (James)

The Reveal: Reactions
So was it worth the risk?
“This was a fantas^c learning experience; The intrigue, the teamwork, the puzzle solving; Everyone who has taken part in the process has brought their own theories and ideas, everyone has helped solve a li9le bit of the puzzle.”
“this is something I’ll never forget”
“I wanna do it again!”
“Just so pleased to have been involved in this ARG, Rufi will live forever!”
“Today I realized just how amazing the small things in life can be. Yes, this is a massive cliché but, yes, it
is true!” “It was incredible, we all watched in the rain as passers by watched the work we had created,
broadcast on a huge screen in one of the most famous
ci^es in the world.
Transformations
“You now have me pouring over all the blogs. The subtlety and deliciousness of this game and how you all dealt with each issue on a day to day basis is staggering… it is good to know that I played a part in possibly the greatest thing I have ever been exposed to…”
“I will always remember Rufi, and the way it has forced me to think about certain things. I’d love this way of teaching to become a permanent fixture in our educa^on system (I’ve just wri9en 1200 words on a Friday night for God’s sake, and
it’s not even for an assignment!)”
"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." !
