<\/span>The alternate-reality game genre has a new friend, and a new format, thanks to Penguin Books, the famous British publishing house.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Penguin and startup Six to Start launched their new ARG, We Tell Stories<\/em>, a new-style game that its creators say is a hybrid of traditional story-telling, Web 2.0-style mashups, interactive games and classic novels.<\/p>\n

We Tell Stories<\/em> is actually a seven-part adventure, said Jeremy Ettinghausen, the digital publisher for Penguin. It will begin with six weekly installments, each of which is based on a classic novel–and written by a different Penguin author–and which tasks participants with finding their way through the story using tools developed for the game.<\/p>\n

After the six installments, We Tell Stories<\/em> will continue with a seventh weekly piece that will be a game tying the six stories together.<\/p>\n
