I'm with thebruce on what 'really' happened. This is a nice understated way to handle it.

And - the labyrinth walls have to keep ahead of the athlete while running around each other? Unless the athlete walks backwards, he or she is going to quickly get ahead of 6 people dashing around each other on the lines. This should be entertaining to watch...

OK - to be fair - I shouldn't forget that it might have been intentional foreshadowing of the entrance of the mysterious Theo.

Yea, I wonder if the PMs have playtested this human labyrinth idea, and if so, will there be video available?? Razz

Maybe it looks like a folk dance. Do not you feel a great inclination to seize such an opportunity of dancing a reel?

Good spec, but when I look at the trailers, I just honestly don't see people coming together to form a labyrinth. I see them coming together to form some kind of kumbaya/Hands-Across-America type event.

If we don't do it before July, I definitely see us trying it out in Boston at ARGFest. Talk about Adult Play and Outdoor Play (ooooh, you Jane, you love to make people dance in public, don't you). Cool

I know how to hid it in plain site - MUSIC! It's a concert and we're all dancing! Laughing

It would blend in well at Covent Garden or the South Bank in London. You get all sorts of odd things going on, and no-one pays much attention. Heck, you could call it performance art and probably get the Arts Council to provide funding for it. Laughing

This... reminds me of a children's game we have here. We call it "London Bridge" (because the song is sung while playing the game) and I'm not sure if it's played elsewhere, but this is how it's played here:

Two rows of children stand facing each other and link hands above their heads. The song starts, and two of the children at one end of the line hold hands and run through the "tunnel" the other children make, emerging at the other end to continue the "tunnel"; they stand at the end of the two rows again and link hands, and the next pair of children from the starting side, runs through, and the game carries on.

As the song ends, after the line "My fair lady", the "arch" of the tunnel collapses and the pair in the tunnel will be "caught".


I don't think this is really relevant to our game, but reading the document's description of how the game is supposed to be played, I thought of this childhood game and I just had to get it out of my system.

Has anyone tried entering the Pruvo code into the Ompha-Puter? I'm getting a "decryption failed" note, saying the site is "unidentified."

I'm pretty sure that I kept trying the code for Sydney all last week, and even on Monday, and kept getting the decryption failed.
Today, both Sydney and Brussels work
PRUVODEREHAVIGO 9JRL/ADIM/I0OC/JMC2/KMHI
gives you Sydney
PRUVODEREHAVIGO JKC7/C8JB/5ARH/MBM2/3ITE
gives you Brussels.

Miguel-Angel sent me a facebook message a few minutes ago. It reads:

Hello,

I found the message!!

It was just a sheet of paper with a message, that was written in french...


Hey Chid12, do you think he'd be able to scan the page for us - a number of questions still hang around this message and who wrote it...

If you could ask him, that would be fantastic. Smile
