 		[NEW][PUZZLE] What is the Question?
A Puzzle game in London, UK, Running now
To highlight the XDRTB.org campaign we have devised a unique blend of Puzzle solving, Mobile blogging and geolocation that creates a web first.

GPSdrawing (reference http://gpsdrawing.com) is "digital mark-making with satellite navigation technology". The game uses map markers to draw a macro image on a google map rather than one single line drawn using a Tom Tom or other navigator.

The markers each contain and represent a media node at which a piece of media has been posted that has a direct relationship to the macro image that is being drawn.

The game asks you to hunt out the 43 objects scattered over London and post them to the site. People create this macro GPS artwork through solving clues to find the objects, photographing them and then uploading them to the site with mapping co-ordinates provided on the object, which can also be found at 43 participating blogs which the clues refer to.

Each of the objects contains a letter, and when each marker has been uploaded all of the letters together spell out a question. Participants are invited to work out what that question is with the first person to correctly submit the 43 character phrase wins the game with prizes from Moo.com and Nokia, as well as two tickets to James Nachtweys launch party on the 30th October.


The URL for this project is: http://moblog.net/map/blog/findme/ - and the clues went live at midnight Monday morning, so far 9 of the objects have been found.

 		Is this pertaining to an existing CF campaign? If so, could you please tag it properly?


EDIT:
I think this is the proper thread:

 		Actually, you should not have made a new thread about a trailhead in the CF with potential section of the forums, it makes things hard to keep track of and confusing. could a moderator lock this thread please?
Locky!
