History ARG / TheWallWillFall

In early September 2012, both Echo Chamber's facebook page and Zack Wallnau's twitter account posted a link to a Youtube channel started by someone named [[https://www.youtube.com/user/WTFAverageJoe Average Joe]]. Joe had recieved several videos, appearing to show fictional characters in the real world. As time went on, Joe started receiving threatening letters. Worried about his safety, Joe decided to go on the run. With help from his friend Edward, he set up a website, [[http://www.watchthefootage.twwf.info watchthefootage.com.]] With Joe's aid, and through several puzzles solved by tropers, many fictional characters and real people were found. Some of them are friendly and cooperative. Others... not so much.

* CreditsGag: The credits have [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer Sir Not Apearing in this ARG]] for Junior Fallon. [[WebVideo/EchoChamber Zack Wallnau]] is credited as "The Voice Behind the Camera", Hummingbird is credited AsHerself and the last line is "'''SPECIAL THANKS TO MR. ADMINISTRATOR, WHO MADE THIS CREDIT ROLL, AND IS TOTALLY AWESOME'''".

* IncrediblyLamePun: The Pun thread. Also a rule of the Drinking Game.

''The Wall Will Fall'' is the FanNickname for the ''WebVideo/EchoChamber'''s AlternateRealityGame, launched shortly after the ending of EC's second season. It began with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUxTp_Hci0M a grave announcement]] from [[MysteriousEmployer Mister Administrator]], posted on [[Website/TVTropes this very wiki]]. In this announcement, he stated that The Fourth Wall had started to crack, and that fictional characters were now crossing over into the real world. The tropers' mission is now to find all the characters who managed to cross the wall, bring them back, and fix the wall. If they were to fail, it could have [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt disastrous consequences]] for both the real and fictional realities.

The ARG ended on 27.12.2012.

* OverusedRunningGag: The [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/bees bees]] from Wiki/SCPFoundation. The story was posted on the chat once, and now everything is bees, and they just won't die, much to everyone's chagrin.

* DifficultySpike: The players hit one once real world events became an important aspect of the game. It seemed like no matter what location the PM's picked, the players did not have easy access to it or the available equipment to complete the objective.

** It was established early into the game that the characters can't read their stories (they see it as blank pages), and, as it turned out, can't watch adaptations, either. The solution? Show them their page on Wiki/TheOtherWiki. This was used to calm Theatre/SweeneyTodd.

* StronglyWordedLetter: The first Morgan's action in her attempt to stop Joe's webshow was to send him a neutral-toned, but threatening letter. Then the other Cabal members joined, and decided to scare him off by taking it UpToEleven. Joe snapped at 97 letters.
