So this is going to be at 12:00 noon tomorrow in LA?
Hopefully, from other players it seems like the West coast is the last to go live

Recommendations for first-timers : (please add to this, anyone else) it depends on how complex they're going with this, but better to be prepared. If you're doing ground duty, phone set up for GPS mapping is a huge help. If you don't have a QR scanner on your phone, install one. Bring a laptop too if you have one, faster than a phone if you can get wifi. Buy a flashlight-sized blacklight if you don't have one. Might want to bring a multitool/scissors, can't go wrong with having tools (getting envelope open in a BIG hurry, maybe? heh). Backpack with some snacks and water/caffeine is good. If we don't have info beforehand about where to be, pick a central location, preferably a cafe with wifi to wait.
For net support, a local person who can be on Mapquest/Google duty is great.

As best we can (at least as far as this forum's concerned), try to play fair and nice - whether you're the first person there, or perhaps missed it by seconds. Play nice with other people who might show up before/after you if you go to your city's location. Have fun, and yeah, play nice If there's swag, decide amongst yourselves how you'll split it up if you do, but try to respect the first finder's choice. Assuming of course it plays out similarly... who knows what it'll be like this time. *shrug*

I'm sitting in a parking lot here in downtown LA, mooching off someone's unlocked wifi. Not getting anything from the site, anyone got any tips on where we need to go?!

Currently New York & Orlando are up. I would expect LA to get their info from this URL, but it's not live yet:
http://missionicefly.com/rescue/pdf/losangeles.pdf
That PDF will contain GPS coordinates and a photo of the location where the package is hidden.

Someone said they got it. But the site hasn't updated yet. Could be a technical or human error. Anyway, here's to watching the entire video unscrambled!

Historically the site hasn't updated until the user who got it posted about it.
