"It was the world's first serious alternate reality game, a cooperative pre-imagining of a global oil crisis. Over 1900 players collaborated in May 2007 to chronicle the oil crisis with their own personal blog posts, videos, images and voicemails. The game ended after simulating the first 32 weeks of the oil shock, but its effects continue, as game designers analyze its unique gameplay and we all watch the continuing drama with global oil prices and supply." http://wwolives.wordpress.com/

World Without Oil (WWO).... Still Playing
An
alternate reality game (ARG) created to call attention to, spark
dialogue about, plan for and engineer solutions to a possible
near-future global oil shortage, post peak oil. It was the creation of
San Jose game writer and designer Ken Eklund, and ARG veterans Jane
McGonigal, Dee Cook, Marie Lamb, Michelle Senderhauf, and Krystyn Wells
were on the puppetmaster team.[1] World Without Oil was presented by
Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funding by the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting.
