After a very long break (are games just not having live events now or am I really that out of the loop these days?), here is a new dead drop for all of you. Just in time for the Royal Wedding! I’m sure it’ll be a piece of cake to go and find this with so many people camping out, hoping to catch a glimpse of royalty.

According to the Unfiction forums, the dead drop for Villain Training is on the Nelson statue in Trafalgar Square. Which is about 1/2 mile away from Westminster Abbey. So I would maybe recommend against going on Friday, unless of course you’re already waiting near there. Then in that case, search away!

The Secret Lewis ARG is coming to an end. But they are having one last event which sounds like it will be the biggest one of them all. The stolen trophy is being sent via courier from Abu Dhabi to London and we are tasked with getting it back. The event is free, but you must register in advance if you plan on going.

This is your chance to be a hero.

With Lewis in Abu Dhabi, we’ve had to figure out a way of pulling off one final heist. Fortunately, we have a secret weapon: you.

It’s going to be fun, and it’s free, but you’ll need to register in advance.

First, check your diary and make sure you can be at the Apollo Cinema, Lower Regent Street, London SW1 for 6-8pm on Wednesday 10 November.

If you’re available, mail London@SecretLewis.com with your name, email address and contact number. You can ask for either one or two tickets, but if you ask for two, make sure you include contact details for both people. Then we’ll be in touch.

There are going to be fantastic rewards for everyone who can make it, so clear your schedule.

This finale event looks like it’s going to be a blast, so if you’re in the area, try to clear your schedule for Wednesday night. Secret Lewis has been a lot of fun over the last several months and it would be great to show it out in style.

The second London event of Conspiracy for Good is being held this weekend at Brick Lane at the 1-2-3-4 Festival. The free registration (for those 18 and over) will secure your place for the event and give you a ticket to the 1-2-3-4 Festival. You will need to search for clues hidden in the art and music in order to thwart Blackwell Briggs.

There will also be a street diversion benefiting Kidsco so bring a new toy to give away to a kid.

The latest mission of Secret Lewis is having a live event this Saturday in London. Lewis Hamilton needs our help in tracking down a forged Frank Kline painting so that he can recover the genuine painting, stolen by a cultural attaché, without causing a diplomatic incident.

Anna has requested that people meet at the TenderPixel Gallery between 1-6pm on Saturday, July 10th. It’s on Cecil Court near Leicester Square. No word on what you’ll actually be doing during the mission. Maybe tracking spies through the city in an easier way that doesn’t require you to try and watch 3 red blips at once. Took me forever to complete Mission 7 a second time (Firefox crashed after my first success).

The Conspiracy for Good is having a series of London live events over the next few weeks. Registered participants will be given “a device equipped with GPS and image-recognition software” to use during the missions so that they can find the streaming videos and hidden clues throughout London in an attempt to help the CFG expose Blackwell Briggs.

The first event is called “Get Her In!” and requires CFG members to create a street diversion to allow Nadirah to get away from the Blackwell Briggs security agents.

Date: July 17, 2010
Location: Traitors Gate, Thames North Riverbank, London
Time: 12.00 – 18.00
Party: 21.00 – late

She has crossed thousands of miles, to expose Blackwell Briggs. Meet Nadirah at the Thames21 For Shore mud larking, at the Traitors Gate, on the Thames North Riverbank. Create a street diversion, so she can disappear in the crowd. Security guards will hunt you, as you search for the Conspiracy For Good in London.

Registration is required for the event (presumably because Nokia only has a limited number of phones to lend out), but it’s free and should be quite fun.

Over on the Flynn Lives website, there is a countdown that will hit zero on February 24th at 11am EST. Below the countdown there is a slowly revealing list of city names. Current speculation is that things will be happening in those cities when the countdown hits zero, but it’s far too early to tell at this point in time. If you live in or near one of those cities, keep the countdown page or back here for updates within the next 5 days.

 

Update: So the image has completely resolved and all of the cities have been revealed. The original list posted was pretty close to what it finished up to be (the two switches were Detroit -> Denver and Indianapolis -> Minneapolis). We still don’t know what is going to be going on in those cities or exactly where things will be happening, but hopefully an update is on its way so those people who are contemplating taking off work will know if they should or not.

At least one player got an email from Droogie of Clamamus Pro Aeris about a new meeting tonight.

My People!

It is time to meet us in person – away from the bodysuits, dark rooms and
in a social context.

This is the stage before you are initiated into the group, so come with a
smile – you are one of us, having passed the test, trials and
tribulations.

A ‘bit of a show’ is promised.

8pm at The Foundry, I’ll have a ‘top hat’ on.

Droogie
qui audet adipiscitur

Just a reminder, these events have not been for the faint of heart, so be prepared if you go.

A couple of people reported back from the Clamamus Pro Aeris meeting at the library. It turns out there is another meeting tonight at midnight at Aberfeldy House on John Ruskin Street near Oval Station.

I would not recommend going if you are of the faint of heart. “Blindfoldings, beatings, hidden animal feet and death threats. A midnight rendezvous with added violence coming up.” is what Dagada says about this event, so forewarned is forearmed.
