Last month I received a message alerting me to the Alternate Reality Game Traces of Hope that is being organised by the British Red Cross. I have just registered and I am waiting for an email to enter the game.

“Traces of Hope” is being launched by the British Red Cross to coincide with its Civilians and Conflict month. The game features Joseph a sixteen-years-old caught up in the Ugandan civil war, separated from his family, hungry and alone in a camp overflowing with thousands forced to flee, Joseph is desperately seeking his mother. But he needs your help

I have found a number of sites with additional information about Traces of Hope

Have fun!

Relevance: Alternate Reality Games with a cause are great as entertainment while also making you more aware of important issues around the world.
