I found this on PC Gamer
Description: AWARE II is the sequel to a highly successful Alternate Reality Game (ARG) produced by Real World Gaming. ARG's use other media forms to make the experience feel real for the players. You may receive a phone call, instant-message, email or other such interactive formats to make the game seem real and the player immersed. The official date of the launch of this game is unknown. Almost 1000 players have signed up to play already, and the game appears to have a large following.
The first game was featured in places such as Slashdot, NYTimes, and the ARGN.
If you have ever seen the movie "The Game" with Michael Douglas, well this genre takes a chapter out of that book.
When you go to the sign-up sheet it asks very freaky questions like "Criminal History" and "Family Members Names". I plan to have a go at this and see what happens.
