- Increasingly multi-platform means stories without borders \n
- Another key concept is what J.J Abrahms’ termed the mystery box. Fans responded to the cryptic clues creating multiple wikis & websites devoted to solving & tracking the show’s mysteries.\n
- Levels of fan engagement in ARGs has led to the 90/9/1 rule: 90% of your fans will be more passive, 9% active & 1% super enthusiastic. While it may seem counter intuitive, the most important groups are the 9 & 1 - these are the fans who will be active online seeking content & creating buzz. Know who they are!\n
