the parasite was an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) scaled for approximately 1,750 people during the University of Chicago orientation for first-year students in 2017. The specific goal of the parasite ARG was to encourage incoming students to develop capacities linked to collaboration, leadership, inclusivity, digital media, and twenty-first-century literacies. This ARG was a collaboration among a transdisciplinary team of contributors, including three faculty members; graduate and undergraduate students; staff and administrators at the University of Chicago; and professional artists. Learning outcomes from this experience included time management, physical and mental health, asking for help, identifying resources, and conflict resolution. This transmedia experience unfolded across multiple online platforms from May to September 2017, and across nine site-specific participatory challenges in September 2017. Students discovered a secret society and located 121 unique objects, hidden around Chicago, which were necessary to unlock a singular room and uncover an entity known only as "the parasite."
