How did you find that?

Looks like there are some puzzles in Londons subway.

I'm embarassed to say how I found it, now that I realize it's considered poor game play. I'm usually the last to know about any updates, and use a short cut to try to keep up. But I shouldn't have done it and won't do it again.
My apologies.
I'll go back to lurking now.

So who's going to be jolly decent and post any puzzles that are found for those of us nowhere near the Underground Question

Unless of course MC decide to throw some up on the Metro up here in the North East too?

I'll be off for a trip on the Northern Line armed with my camera in a few minutes.

Finally, there's an up side to commuting all this summer. I'll probably be on the Waterloo and City line a lot, but have been known to frequent others, including the dreaded black line, and the endless circle. I usually read all the adverts anyway, whatever they're about, so it will make a pleasant change to the rubbish I usually see.

For my part, I've got the north/west part of the Metropolitan line covered.

Checked the Northern line. All the stations and all the platforms north and southbound between Stockwell and Waterloo including escalator ads and as much checking the train ads as I could without looking too much of a weirdo. Nothing to report.

Damn intriguing. Makes me wonder whether the puzzles will be designed for the seasoned ARGers on the forums (clues to further websites and things like that, maybe), puzzles that will introduce new players to the game, or a mixture of both.

In other words, it could just be another facet of the marketing campaign, rather than something of huge significance in - game, but hey...

Interesting, too, that the web site seems to work at both a 'simple' and a 'meta' level - technically, we shouldn't be surprised that we've found nothing much yet - the web site states clearly that Mind Candy haven't got the set - up running yet, and they'll announce it as soon as something changes. And yet, if 'Green Park' is a genuine hidden clue, then there may well be something already there, and the allegation that *nothing's* been set up is a smokescreen - it's just the real campaign (how many times have we heard that one!) hasn't started yet !!

I guess we'll only know once somebody's got to Green Park, and had a look!
