Roy the Dino Is Missing!
Someone stole a giant inflatable dinosaur from a restaurant that doesn't exist

Just got tipped off to this...something, that's going on in the UK. A restaurant that doesn't seem to exist had its 23 foot tall dinosaur stolen from the parking lot. Oh no! What can be done!

https://www.facebook.com/RoyTheDino/

I can't see anything that can be done, but it's a cute idea and I'm interested to see if it goes anywhere.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Likely an indie experience because I stalked down the source of the breakfast pic on their website and it's from an old DailyMail article, but idea is refreshingly evocative

Anyone call the phone number yet? I'm not in the UK so this number is a bit off limits for me or I would definitely call.

There's no new information when you call the number, just a little answerphone message, but here it is anyway
(I don't know how to upload files here and it doesn't seem super important, so I just put it on vocaroo)

crappy website
something to do with 19th May

Checked their 'updated' website. It is very cheesy and flashy. It comes with lots of cheesy facts like Dinos created the word 'Yolo' etc. Its Facebook page says truth will come out on the 19th May. It also happens that on the 19th there are many programs and shows in various museums on dinosarus.

Looks like a new product coming up. Does not feel like an ARG.

I'm interested to see where this leads but it seems like it's maybe a general marketing campaign. The 'reveal' date has been shifted to 2nd June with no explanation but hopefully they'll drip feed some more info soon.
