 		[10 Minute ARG] A Mime is a Terrible Thing
10 Minute ARG unveiled at ARGFest by Steve Peters/No Mimes Media
Pictures will likely follow, but under somebody's chair at the Keynote Dinner was a cloth with "INTERNATIONALMIMEACADEMY.COM" written on it.

Everybody at ARGFest played along together on the spot, but as long as the phone number is still live, you should be able to play through most (if not all) of the experience.

 		the website takes you to youtube.com/oswaldthemime
then he asks you how to open a kryptonite 2000 lock and you email him the answer and he replies right away!

 		Just an fyi, after getting the response from Oswald, everyone at the dinner who had phoned got a callback. Is this still happening or was that a one-off?

(and yes, that's the end. It is 10 minutes!)

 		Got a phone call today with some mime telling me I'll never catch him, something to that effect.

 		Yeah - early Sunday morning in the lobby of the hotel while getting coffee, I got the phone call.

When I saw the caller ID, I figured that's who it was.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The master mime.


So before I answered, I asked an elderly couple if they liked mimes.

The man stared silently at me over his glasses, but the woman replied...

"They're strange."

I said - "tell me about it. I can't shake this guy..." then proceeded to put the phone call on speaker.

Was that wrong? Smile

 		Mime ARG video
I missed the first few minutes because I forgot to hit the record button right away, but I got about 11 minutes of how it played out at dinner.

 		Testing
FYI, I have replayed this game for several friends since the con and everything seems to work, including the final phone call.

I really want to know how it knows who to call back!
