Lost Penny
A BBC ARG

It looks like a new ARG from the BBC called Lost Penny is just getting underway. Unfortunately it may be a UK only thing, as the video shows up as being "not available in your area."

Anyone from the UK picking up on this one? I can read the board but, of course, not see the video.

Anyone that wants to view the site (and videos) outside of the UK can use a proxy to do so. (I use FoxyProxy for Firefox, and a good site for finding country specific IPs is here: http://www.samair.ru/proxy/type-10.htm)

Actually, that was something from Lost, as the boat didn't belong to Penny but someone else.

The fact that the BBC has created an ARG is really weird...None the less, I'll keep an eye on things, see how the game progresses.

Uh, why's that? The BBC has done ARGs for shows before, like Spooks: Code 9 and an upcoming one for something called Around Britania. There were apparently a number of others too, just search the site for "BBC". Wink

Darnit! I guess being part of the British Commonwealth isn't good enough to get access to those videos. Razz
