[FRC Top 25.com] Game hint release show!

We hope everyone is as excited as we are as we anticipate release the game hint tomorrow!

We can't thank Frank and the rest of FIRST enough for being willing to work with us to make this idea a reality.

Tomorrow at 8:30PM EST, we'll be live and we hope you will be able to join us. FRC Director Frank Merrick will be on the show around 8:45PM to talk about the reason for the game hint and help us continue to build excitement towards our 9PM release of the FRC Game Hint.

After the hint is released, we'll be taking calls from the FRC community and having a general discussion with the LIVE chat about what the game hint could mean.

We're also looking for 2-3 people(groups) willing to put together a 3-5 minute breakdown of the game hint. These people would call into the show around 9:30 and give us their best guess as to what they think the game will be after having about 30 mins to research. If you'd like to be one of these people, please contact us, Mikeandjustinitm@gmail.com.

If you have any others ideas of something you'd like to see on the show let us know!

Thanks and we'll see you tomorrow night!

Re: [FRC Top 25.com] Game hint release show!

Perhaps you could review the previous year's hints, and compare them to what the actual game was.

Agreed!
Some hints became obvious once the game was revealed, others, not so much.

A chronological run down could be fun.

They could also go through them without telling what game and year they were for so people could try and guess as they went.

Ya know, get people in the puzzle solving mindset before the real hint is given.

Re: [FRC Top 25.com] Game hint release show!

I love how obvious and in your face some clues are (if you know what you're looking at). 2007's hint is a great example.

...and on the Winter Solstice of 2014 the Game Hint was unleashed and there was much revelry and rioting afterwards....

2008 was also incredibly obvious looking back.

2008 Game Hint: A set of coordinates that was a turtle and hare statue somewhere in Boston(?). The game that year was NASCAR with track balls larger than the 2014 balls.

That's fantastic. I wish I did FRC in 2008, but alas, college somehow got in the way
