Here is an ongoing new media project titled Conspiracy For Good we've been following. So far despite the big names and probably a massive budget, the project doesn't seem to pick up by substantial number of followers judging Youtube views. However, the concept is pretty original and fun.
Conspiracy For Good is a global movement for change driven by a story that the audience becomes a part of, thanks to new ways to view and share information such as web sites and mobile devices that allows for them to make a difference in the real world.
Tim Kring, creator of international renowned entertainment brands, and Nokia launched a game entertainment pilot that plays out across both traditional media and new media platforms including smartphones, game consoles, tablets and PCs. Conspiracy For Good blurs the lines between fiction and reality, compelling the audience to become a part of the story with real world outcomes.
The Backstory (Fictional Plot)? Over the decades, members of Conspiracy For Good have been reputed to be quietly and effectively doing good in the world's most troubled areas. But CFG is not without enemies, and it is now under fierce attack by Blackwell Briggs (www.blackwellbriggs.com), a London-based multinational company committed to advanced infrastructure development and security services. For help, CFG turned to Kring, a master storyteller, to share their story, recruit new members to read the signs, and bring down Blackwell Briggs.
Joining the Conspiracy For Good ?Participants enter into the story, which fuses reality and fiction, through www.ConspiracyForGood.com, where they will join like-minded thinkers, artists, musicians and causes, creating a unified voice to fight for social and environmental justice. The audience can take action within their own comfort zone and level of engagement to meet new people with similar interests online and in person, and have some fun too. Participants who join CFG will be able to solve mysteries online, play casual mobile games or be a physical participant in the London events that will take place from mid-July through early August.
The Conspiracy For Good project explores how story and street action drive engagement in real world issues. The project helped build a library, raise 10,000 books and give scholarships to 50 young girls in Zambia.
