""we're very story-led. We storyboarded the journey that we wanted to take the guests on. Once we're all happy with that we do start to develop the puzzle side, the gameplay narrative that feeds into and supports the storyline. You're playing through an adventure as opposed to a themed collection of puzzles that don't really fit together.""

- Brad Wynne, in DWM 535's article "The Great Escape"

Now this isn't directly comparable to alternate reality games given that, in this article, the escape game Worlds Collide is being discussed, and is a completely different medium, however I feel the idea of focusing on storytelling over "loosely themed puzzles" is fairly applicable here.
