I live 5 seconds down the street from this. I don't see how any part of the game could be associated with this.

i also live 5 seconds down the street from this, i disagree and i think this may have something to do with the game. whatever is in the point of view of the bearing that is given i think may have something to do with this game.

I think the Hancock tower has something to do with the game. Just all the little interesting facts about it and all the changes its gone through. i dont think its just by chance the coordinates are directly next to it...

I'd be concerned as to the accuracy of the web sites being employed. It might be important to get the location to within, say 10 feet.

Do any of you guys in the area have access to a good GPS receiver?

For all we know, the true spot could be at the Hancock Tower, or over by the statue of Copley (which could be meaningful).

It's the statue of Copley. From there, at the heading given, you can look through two obelisks at the Globe Cafe.

I was just thinking, you know with how involved Google is getting with FIRST, maybe it is something in street view. Just a thought.

Since Google & FIRST are so close nowadays, I was almost expecting to pull up this co-ordinate on Google maps and have a blank square over the area saying something like "Do not look here till January, 5th 2008".

Lol ^^.

Try subtracting the 300 number from the current year, (and next year) to look at the paingings this copley guy had, and possibly look for hints in the artwork?

Just an idea!

Hmm.... I think it either has something to do with a historical fact there, like something that may have happened at Copley Square, or maybe we are thinking too far into it. It could just be a Square year.

I figured I would throw that link in this discussion, as it shows an alternate view of the square without that huge shadow from Hancock.

And from that view, I believe this statement to be wrong:

But I believe this one to be right:

I believe the statue of Copley is more on the west end of the park of the point shown.

that's funny!
I live 5200 miles away from there. Why dont I just stop by tonight..hehe.....nah, but I've been there before.

I just realized this, but the picture above was taken a long time ago! Street view is not available, and the Hybrid button was changed to the terrain button a couple of months ago. Why would this person want to take a screen shot that long ago for a game hint released this week?

That is odd, but maybe it's actually a screenshot from Google Earth, and not google maps?

That would explain the addition of the Coordinate box as well.

idk.

I went to Copley Square this morning to see what's there -- nothing but brick! And snow. And it was before sunrise and raining, so I didn't stay long.

In this picture by Elgin the three colored squares in the middle look like they are covering a circular fountain, but there was nothing.

There will be ice sculptures all over the park on New Years Eve (Boston's First Night celebration)

Maybe the name of the game is "Copley Squares"?
