//BUILDING IMAGINATION the ARG is focused upon Modesto, CA, but it can happen anywhere. For the next 10 weeks, we will imagine together.



HOW DO I BECOME A SUPER HERO?

Every hero has an origin story. It’s time for you to discover yours. Where do your powers come from? Who inspires you? What set you on a path to change the world?

Simply add yourself to our Heroes Page as a Comment. We will create a Hero Profile for you and start giving you Mission Tokens. Don’t forget to tell us your Origin Story!

If you like, create your own superhero avatar at Marvel Comics or at the Hero Factory. Set up a Home Base for your hero over at Blogger. Need help coming up with a name? Try the Super Hero Name Generator at Seventh Sanctum.



:-D OR if you simply have a great idea or resource that you would like to share, just add a new comment and let us know! :-D


And don’t forget, every Super Hero has a strong Code of Ethics to guide them. All interactions through //Building Imagination will follow common netiquette, or will be edited / removed by the puppet masters.



WHAT ARE MY SUPER POWERS?

Your super powers are the skills and abilities you need to change the world.
Complete missions to earn powers, and find out where your true strengths lie.

How to earn powers:

  1. Learn what each power means.
  2. Complete a mission.
  3. Collect Power Votes from other Super Heroes. Once you have three votes for a single power you will receive a token for it on your hero page.


How to give power votes:

  1. Browse the mission evidence on each hero’s Home Base.
  2. See something powerful? Vote for it — and you get to pick the power!
    Once a super hero collects three votes for a power they will receive a token on their hero page.

Watch your super powers rise on your Hero page. Your power profile is a unique statement of your abilities and talents. Show the world what you’re good at. There’s no limit to how many powers you can gain.



WHAT IS A MISSION?

Every Wednesday at midnight, the network will send out a new mission.
Your mission is to practice your world-changing skills, right now, wherever you are.

Each mission has three objectives:

  1. LEARN – Investigate our great challenges and share what you discover.
  2. ACT – Get out in the world. Do something small to help solve a real problem.
  3. IMAGINE – Unleash your creativity. Tell a story about the future you want to make.

[Supreme Eagletronic] will personally review your mission evidence and alert you when your mission is complete.

Complete one objective to get credit for the mission.
Complete two objectives to get heroic credit.
Complete all three for legendary credit.



HOW DO I COMPLETE A MISSION:

1. Accept your mission.
2. Submit your evidence for each of the objectives: a blog post, a video, or an image.
3. Await your rewards, earning more GOLD helps you LEVEL UP.



HOW DO I WIN?

There is no one way to win this game. Take the journey you want to take — and choose the rewards you want to earn.

Start your future now.
