This page was one of the entry points for En Abîme, an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that ran from 2024-2026. In February 2026, we linearized and archived the En Abîme experience so you can get a sense of what playing the ARG was like!

​

En Abîme is hypertext, which means the locations and format of text on these pages carries both story meaning and, often, clues to puzzles. Therefore, throughout these pages, out-of-story text boxes like this one will appear to offer additional context & clarify when something is not part of the ARG.

​

Arrows like this                  have been added to all the webpages for easier navigation. If you click through these arrows, you will see every page of the ARG in a semi-chronological order. However, many links originally hidden in the pages are still there, so you can either try to uncover the website yourself through clicking around, just like the original players did! During the run of the ARG, most of these pages were protected by passwords, but they have been removed for your reading pleasure. You might find www.en-abime.com/error helpful as you navigate around.

​

One way players found the ARG was through stickers and posters around New York City, NY; New Haven, CT; Princeton, NJ; Chicago, IL; and Bethesda, MD. Scanning the QR codes led to this page of the website.
