[New Website] therecedaapproach.com

Arrived at Beit Quad about 10am and searched everywhere- in bushes, under benches, in litter bins but nothing.
Sat down to have a fag and wait for a sign then at 11am 2 guys (one male one female) put up some posters.
Here was me looking for something subtle.
I left after taking some photos.
Maybe there will be more stuff for the people who get there later or maybe this is it.
Not checked it out yet

Of course! The puzzles are going to be in advertising in the cinemas. Bloody hell, that's cool.

its obviously a coded message to the 3P, because a perplexian band which as far as we know doesnt exist, and has the same symbol as the third power cant 'land on earth' and start touring toronto, thats just stupid... What the code is, i dont know although i think it unlikely it will be encoded in the trailers for films in toronto, i will drop an email to famous players asking about any qadvertisements poted by 'the receda approach' or 'mind candy design' or 'perplex city.com' or 'adrian hon' or 'the third power' or anyhting else i can think of, the fact that theredoesnt appear to be a 'collosseum 10' may also be a clue. A date is featured and it may be a message specifiying a meeting for all third power members.

EDIT: Dropped the following email;

Quote:
To Whom it May Concern,

I was wondering if i could receive a full list of on screen advertisment placements for the toronto famous players screens which will be showing from 23 Sept, specifically all advertisments featuring in the following cinemas on or after the above date;

canada square
paramount toronto
coliseum 10, coliseum scarborough
colossus woodbridge
silvercity brampton, newmarket, north york, mississauga
richmond hill, yonge-eglinton, yorkdale

Yours Sincerely,

Perplexed

I'd say on the contrary, it's highly likely that there will be *something* to see at these cinemas from the specified date onwards. That said, it might be quite expensive to run a trailer/ad before every single showing of every movie at every cinema, so I expect we'll find out something a little more specific nearer the time.

Either that or we need someone to see every showing at every Cinema. They might get reduced advertising rates as they can guarantee people will pay to go to the Cinema just to see the adverts!

I agree. Cinema advertising will be WAY too expensive. I don't think this will be an actual event, just as the band are unknown to us and probably fictional. I'm sure it's all just one big coded message.

A few of us are in an internet cafe off of Kensington. Has any one got any ideas if there is anything left to do here or is the poster all there is. I'm thinking the later.

Also to note, if you take the first letter of the song names you get TESTB.

My number is 07838356185

You are maybe overestimating how expensive cinema advertising can be. I've considered it for my own ARG uses, and still-screen ads can be had for a not too unreasonable amount of money.
