Just been looking at todays Telegraph where there is an article about this and their own weekly competition.

I've just been looking at this too Kathlyn. It looks interesting, but if they're all like that picture for their puzzle, then I'm not at all sure how to go about starting it.

Book available from Amazon for £6.99 instead of RRP of £9.99

We could always work as a team.

You're on then.

I've just ordered my copy from Amazon at £6.12 plus free delivery. It's not released until the 1st Sept though.
Anyone else interested in making up a team?

Explain to me what it is? How big a thing is it? Likely time commitments? How often does stuff happen? Would we do it like the puzzlehunts on googledocs or is there a better way? I don't do newspapers, so I know nothing about it.

did anyone else guess then work out the links to find out if your right?
(i was i think)

Yes, I think (if Im right) that was easy. Which means the real thing is going to be a nightmare

#14 Post by **clvrlad** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:35 am

well the hotel chain they list has one inNew York.......

#15 Post by **Redfraggle** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:46 am

Yep, that's exactly what I thought too

Or it's going to be equally easy. I doubt that, but this one didn't exactly need Google Earth, did it? Of course, we may all have fallen into a horrible red herring trap! But that seems somewhat unlikely.

well it could be the sister one cause there is a branch in paris too

#18 Post by **kathlyn** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:58 am

Ordered from Amazon delivery on 5th Sept.

Don't suppose I'll be very good at solving anything but I'll give it a go.

Me, too. Though feel rather like Kathlyn, and rather like the idea of a team.

PS Don't do Twitter or Facebook

#20 Post by **Laura** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:12 pm

Well, I do twitter, sort of, and facebook, so we have both of those covered. It's the actual puzzly bits I'm less sure about. Even with the link posted yesterday, I never found this puzzle that seems to have led you to a hotel in New York.
