ObieGame
A treasure hunt/ARG combining online riddles and puzzles with real-world experiences (clues placed in stores or the library; handoffs from real people). Started mysteriously in spring 2004. Since 2006 over 150 students (and occasional others) have played each year.
Prizes are usually gift certificates to downtown businesses (team's choice) and the winners in 2007 snagged a $200 top prize.
Despite interest from student filmmakers, has never been the subject of a documentary.
