billboard I'm in the city now, but, sadly, I have dropped my laptop and cracked the screen. I am going by the billboard tomorrow morning if I can't make it tonight, and I will come back and post from another internet cafe. I don't know if I will be able to get a photo uploaded or not, but I will definitely check it out before noon tomorrow.

I'm in Just checked out the site, and read all possible info regarding this ARG. Very interesting idea; hats off to whoever is sponsoring this. I'm in too!
But, i'm facing two problems.
1. I don't live in NYC. Not even in North America. So, would love to team up with anyone living in NYC.
2. I too cannot access the Facebook page. When I click the link, I'm redirected to my Home Feed. Why is this happening???

Billboard Here is the webcam for the sign in Times Square. It is an electronic billboard (Reuters) where images and ads change every few minutes. The ad for the Treasure Hunt was probably up just briefly as part of the Pirate Captain's advertising package with PR Newswire. It may have been just a one time event. Or perhaps it shows up at a certain time for a limited number of days.

Wow. Feeling more and more like a pirate everyday.
That video made me giddy... and a big twitchy.
Where's my shovel??

they're not just going to give away 10,000. i have a feeling it's going to take more than two people to solve the clues (i hope). in this case 60/40 would be rather unfair
jus' saying

An idea So this came into my head today, it is next to impossible to do anything on Manhatten Island without a scare of some type, which makes me think that the treasure is buried someplace else. Maybe while we are waiting for the videos we can start thinking about the other Boroughs?
