 		#LookForLaurie
Just found this. Looks promising.
Long time unfiction reader first time poster.
Found this twitter - https://twitter.com/FindLRedferne - after my friend shared it on facebook. We've started following it together. It's been going since 2nd May and it's already at the top of google. (Not freaking bad)

Some ARG elements have started to appear. I am stuck on this one - https://twitter.com/FindLRedferne/status/467014109050191872

We have to translate it. Don't know where to start really.

Will appreciate any help. Smile

Thanks guys

- Vinnie

 		Nailed it. Thanks for your help mate.

I also made a wiki for this once I got that it was ARG after a few days of following. http://find-laurie-redferne.wikia.com/wiki/Find_Laurie_Redferne_Wiki

it is kind of difficult to keep it up to date. But at least it makes it a bit easier.
