Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

The alternate reality games project and page is a great example of why there's a need for an "immersive" project and genre. 10 years ago, ARGs were a standalone thing, but in the last decade, the genre has evolved and now ARGs fall under it. The

Escape rooms

are under the Games project. They are those, but "Immersive" is an umbrella that includes all three.

Support

Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.

• ​ The categories you listed are far too small to justify a WikiProject, and your proposal has failed to gain traction. I understand WikiProject Games is inactive. Might I suggest reviving it and creating a task force? elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:23, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
