UAREHERE : Using Alternate Reality Environments to Help Enrich Research Efforts

IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) is soliciting responses to this RFI in order to assess the extent to which Alternate Reality Environments (AREs), such as Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), may provide capabilities that allow for high-quality, externally valid social, behavioral and psychological research in near-realworld contexts.

The agency also makes a quick reference in the request to this WIRED article about Conspiracy for Good, an ARG developed by TV show Heroes‘ creator Tim Kring.
