Genre(s)Alternate reality game

Majestic was one of the first alternate reality games (ARGs), a type of game that blurs the line between in-game and out-of-game experiences. Majestic was created by Neil Young.[5][6] It debuted on July 24, 2001. While noted for its unusual concept, it did not fare well commercially.
