Repeat Customer

November 28th, 2008 | Posted by Cole in Completed Missions - ()

One agent enters a downtown Starbucks. They buy a drink, then leave. After they have left another agent will enter, dressed exact same. They will act out the EXACT same routine, buy the same drink, etc. Then leave. This sequence will repeat every 3 minutes.

To begin the mission, we staked out the Hero Burger across the street, for our base camp.

Each agent would cross the street, act out the predetermined routine, and then return.

1)Enter Store
2)Get into line.
3)Drop hat by accident just before it is your turn
4)Ask if the the Vanilla Latte is good.
5)Order it with whipcream
6)In the middle of the order you are interrupted by a phone call.
7)Apologise for the interruption
8)Thank the employee nicely.
8)Pick up drink when it is done being made
9)Ask where the milk and sugar are
10)Notice a placed agent, and walk over and exclaim you havn’t seen them in years.
11)Ask where the the placed agent where the subway station is.
12)Leave

Real Life Where’s Waldo

November 18th, 2008 | Posted by Cole in Completed Missions - ()

A giant game of Where’s Waldo, the childhood book we all love. But in real life! Thirteen fake Waldo’s were hidden throughout the mall, with only one real waldo. Each fake waldo had a clue about the real waldo’s whereabouts, but they would only give it out if the participants completed a task! The tasks varied from doing a model walk, singing a song, finding waldo in a waldo book, complimenting random people, finding the name of an employee in a store, etc.

Check out the video we have put together, and then continue down to see some pictures and read more about how it went.

For this mission a group of 20 agents made there way to Dundas Square. At first they stood around like that had come down to the Eaton Centre for a day of shopping. But things quickly changed. At first it was just one agent who felt an itch coming on and started to scratch his back.
