| - Lost體驗是Lost系列的第1部另類實境遊戲,主要是以Hanso基金會為主題。故事講述一名Widmore企業公司的員工Rachel Blake,懷疑她已離世的單身母親為何能夠供養她接受高等教育,因此她開始調查母親生前的經濟來源。經過初步調查後,Rachel得知是一間名為Hanso基金會的公司支助她讀書,不過這間公司十分神秘,而且還有很多不為人知的秘密。所以Rachel決定辭去在企業公司的工作,去查明基金會背後的邪惡活動,並透過她的網誌向全世界的網民揭露一切真相。 alternate reality game (ARG) designed by the writers and producers of Lost to engage fans and expand the storyline of the show during the hiatus between Season 2 and 3. It was the first Lost ARG, although it was preceded by the launch of ABC marketing department's viral marketing website oceanic-air.com. The Lost Experience began in May 2006, during the broadcast of the last few episodes of Season 2 in the United States (mid-season in the UK and Australia), and ran through the hiatus until just before the start of Season 3. It would later be followed by smaller-scale ARGs bridging the gap between Seasons 3 and 4 (Find 815), and Seasons 4 and 5 (Dharma Initiative Recruiting Project), as well as an online multimedia experience through Seasons 5 & 6 called Lost University. The Lost Experience was co-developed by three TV companies: America's ABC, Australia's Channel Seven and the United Kingdom's Channel Four. The main writer of The Lost Experience has been identified as Jordan Rosenberg by Carlton Cuse [1], while writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach also apparently had some input on the narrative (as well as starring in the game as one of the main protagonists). All in-game websites (with the exception of the sponsor sites) were developed by UK Design Agency Hi-ReS!, who had previously created the acclaimed Lost: The Untold interactive website for the United Kingdom's Channel 4 company. The narrative for the The Lost Experience was designed to be a parallel story line not part of the TV show. Considering the deep mythology to LOST, the Experience acted as a way to cover some background that could not be feasibly addressed in such depth on the main show. In particular, TLE developed the backstory to the DHARMA Initiative and its parent company, the Hanso Foundation. It also established some clues about the Island and the true meaning of the numbers. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse first mentioned the ARG in the official podcast, concerning the Hanso Foundation website, which was offline for several months (or in their words, "down for remodeling").
