Contacted Simon, sends you to a web page, it is not obvious, takes a bit of searching use ALL resources.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
go to the groups site he links you to, open discussion about sight seeing. If you compare all of the locations vs the uploaded maps (pages link), you will find only one location on the maps that is not connected into a tube line. It is NOT listed in Simon's posts.


Heh, you like to do things the hard way.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the instant message he says if you can't reach him it's because he will be on the Bakerloo line, which is only close to one landmark.

And on yesterdays puzzle you don't have to search for simon's entry at all, the link in the briefing takes you right there.

 		Evil or Very Mad I have four. *Glares at you.*

And I used my higher education to guess as well. I swear it's random.
Do you even remember some days had no locations mentioned whatsoever? Screw them breaking their own rules = movie games always (er, usually) fail. Meh.

*Goes off in a huff to make another ARG.*

 		sighting
I finally got a another sighting from placing the camera on 10 Downing Street yesterday. By the way, there was a message that I got a sighting, but the sighting number did not increase, even though I refreshed the screen this morning. I logged off, then logged back on and then it was showing.

This time I chose Waterloo Station and London Eye.

 		Day 10 Clue
Have been way overthinking this. The answer to today's clue is just very straightforward and easy. I keep looking for hidden things; for example was thinking there was something with the thumbnail photo on the priceless.com website today since it doesn't seem to match the photo it link's to.

 		I know I'm overthinking it but I still can't get the answer!

It's so close though I can almost taste it...

I was right there with you - I spent 10 minutes looking for info on the Chunnel schedule! Bang Head

I guess that, while we have all these tools and are asked to use them, sometimes the answer is just . . . the obvious one.

 		Well, that was pretty disappointing. That clue took me all of ten seconds to find. I posted cameras at the station, the london eye, and 10 downing street - the last one because it is in the general area of the other two. I have only 7 sightings so far, though.

 		Totally agree with you guys. Very Happy And thanks for the cam placement info!
It's tempting to stay a day behind just to see if the cam placements are really random catches.

And, if you're still having trouble- here's a few hints. Literally, 10 seconds like afrokaze.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I did not have to dig.
I clicked once.
I read once.
Reading once = 'priceless'. xD Ahh, I love making silly puns.


Maybe it was a wild guess, but who knows with the people running this, on the methods they intend we find out our answers. They have this structured quite differently than one would expect something involving governmentally krav-maga trained parqourista soldiers that carry out missions without hesitation, but then again... I do tend to overthink things. Heh.

So here are my placements today, based on what the briefings were and whatnot:
Waterloo, London Eye, and 10 Downing street. Maybe Bourne is being linear today. Placing my chips on that.

 		Okay so I'm only on day 2. I've got the username and the password but I have absolutely no idea which service to use. I've tried AIM Yahoo and Google ims but none of them have BishopBerkley50 on them. What am I doing wrong?

use the instant message tab on the same screen you got your mission from. There are three tabs. the the second one says archive, the third is the instant message one.

once you click it it will ask for the user name and handle. good luck!


ive got 11 sightings and im almost positive it has to do with educated guesses. Common sense too. If bourne is leaving the city soon, click on cameras that are on route to a train station/airport. get me?

Haha, I was stuck on that too.

We really are overthinking this entire thing.

 		Today's is a snap compared to previous.
You don't have to solve it, trust me.
Here's what to use, though; if you're stuck. Or very very impatient.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Enter the exact URL from the message, not the .jpg URL.
Image filter.
A.
Submit what you see.



Quick and easy.

It was nice to see the Album Location, though, Wink Good immersive effect there.

 		Bourne Commercials
Clues
Now that half of the game is over I noticed that in the commericials on TV there are clues. For example just the other day I saw a car commercial with Bourne in a car chase. The city in the commercial was today's answer. I was guessing at the time that the commercial had the next city in it for a clue and I was right. I wonder how many other clues I missed now.

This game is pretty straight forward (for the masses). The thing I like about it is that they took into consideration when programming the game that people online like to talk about the game in forums and give clues away, etc. in discussions. The designers of the game added that "extra" little bit" of having to place the cameras for individual scoring - even if the clue is given out online, each person has to place their camera to get points. This keeps everyone happy; people who like to share clues and answers and people who like to compete individually (unlike another game that is going on in another forum where the PM is trying to stifle free speech).
