Hello Games did an ARG for the Waking Titan update in 2017. They sent out a number of them to people that participated and registered.

I assume that was a US only thing (maybe US/CAN?). I've been playing NMS since it was first around but don't ever remember this - looks like it would have been fun.

Hello Games is based in the UK, so I'd expect it took place at least there.

I've got mine (in the UK) and really enjoyed the ARG even if I didn't manage to solve much of the crypto stuff. It was a team effort and I hope they do some more, maybe for LNF. I think they hired a third party company to do ARG as it must be a hell of a lot of work to create and manage.

Not everyone. I never got mine :/

Cool! That’s some neat swag.

I was one of the lucky people who also got food for Mr. Noodles (later re-identified as Ms. Noodles), as well as a classic scifi book, Nine Tomorrows by Asimov

Prized possessions. Having old rabbit foot as a prized possession feels kinda weird, but sometimes your destiny is handed to you, you are not always given a choice.

I remember reading about them on the wiki, but that is all I know about them.

I still have mine, still wish it would have had some in-game use.

The Waking Titan ARG was THE MOST bonkers game launch thing I have ever seen and when I try to explain parts of it ("We had to collaboratively solve puzzles to unlock a fuzzy image on a web page that revealed another inscrutable clue", "We sent an actual human to a random physical location to collect the next clue by hand"), I get gobsmacked stares.

I remember one of the people sent to get things was in South Africa. They couldn't get it because they stopped at a convenience store that was robbed.

Yup, got mine in a photo frame on display as well
