Hello Wanderer,

We are Smirkbox. Our sole purpose in life (beyond trying to get Keira Knightly to be our prom date) is the humorous deconstruction of Alternate Reality Games. We're here to show you that the universe you have stumbled into is as prone to mockery and good humor as, say, the Star Wars kid. It's okay to laugh, really... after all, this is a genre of gaming. We hope you enjoy yourself while you are here -- unless you're one of those people who can't take a joke.

We are the only humor site in this UnGenre. As such, in our attempts to be funny, we may give into the Dark Side and our contributing writers may get a little satirical from time to time. Just remember, we're trying our best to look at the lighter side of things. And if you become enraged by something you happen to read here, then please... travel elsewhere. Our intent is not to offend but to inform and entertain.

We're a proud membersite of the ARGN, the foundation on which the ARG community has rested for many years. ARGN provides you with the most complete source for ARG information, hands down. Don't believe the hype of the competitors -- they get their information from ARGN too and they're just not telling you . Feel free to visit the other ARGN affiliates in order to keep your finger on the pulse of the ARG movement.

So, in short: We're here for you. Have a great time. Leave your tips at the table.
