=== Type ===
== Unofficial ARGs ==
* '''Official''' - Affiliated with source material, game studio or related organisation.
* '''Independent''' - Not affiliated with any source material or a specific organisation. Often an entirely original story.
* '''Community''' - As 'Independent', but created by one or more GD community members/for the community. Often, trailheads and clues appear primarily on community resources.
* '''Investigation''' - No ARG or puzzle has been confirmed. In the majority of cases, clues have been discovered. This may be used temporarily before such a time that confirmation has been made, or may be a permanent status. Sometimes investigations will reveal a simple marketing gimmick or similar.


=== Status ===
These ARGs are not tied to any existing intellectual property. They can be considered "fan-made" ARGs.
* '''Active''' - Known to be ongoing. Clues are still appearing, or attempts to resolve existing ones are still underway.
* '''Closed''' - The investigation has completed to its logical conclusion (it has been solved), the puppetmaster is confirmed to have permanently ceased progress or a fixed time limit has been exceeded (as with an ARG running alongside a sale, etc.).


=== Started ===
<center>
The date that the ARG or puzzle is known to have begun or the trailhead first appeared.

=== Concluded ===
}}
The date that the investigation was closed or the trail went cold (if known).

== Investigations ==
 
These clues have been investigated and looked after if it was serious, but didn't turn out to be more than grasping at straws. They are listed here for archival purposes.
