I've been out a while and haven't had much time to look into Lost Experience, so today I googled around and visited other message boards where they're talking about the upcoming Lost Experience. I figure the more people working together on clues and puzzles the better off we'll be.

Although no one really knows exactly how this is going to work, a similar alternate-reality game was done when Steven Speilburg's movie 'A.I.' came out. Here is an article about the concept of alternate-reality gaming:

Blurring the line between games and life

Sample of an alternate-reality game:

Here's a list of other forums that are discussing Lost Experience. I've never visited these before, so I don't know how much involvement there will actually be among the members, but they all had a sub-forum and/or a thread discussing the Lost Experience. I figure we could check back on some of these if we get stuck or want to make sure we're on the right track.

So if you know of more sites/boards, feel free to add them here. It can be a kind of research library for us as we play the game.

I went out to 4815162342.com had browsed through their Lost Experience forum. They have a thread going where they're discussing the best way to organize and keep all the clues straight. Once the game gets going, we may want to use some of their tips.

Also, I noticed this on a couple of forums; people are discussing the 'unofficial' Lost sites that are not really associated with ABC, but try to pass themselves off as such. There is a concern that these sites will post bogus information that will interfere with playing the game. Someone at 4815162342.com posted a list of these sites. I hadn't even thought of that.
