Three hours and 15 minutes after receiving the initial email from Jess (without clicking the link supplied). I get this.

Subj: quick chat

Hey Sharna,Did you get my last email? Sometimes the server goes a bit wonky:-( Wondered if you fancied a quick natter.

Although not strictly ARG (which, if you miss, you miss), this could be a good device to ensure all participants are following the same path. This game has an eposodic structure, which can be mapped on school lessons structure. Teacher could set the first part of the task during the lesson, and the students could realistically follow this up for homework…I like.
