"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

I've been looking at that too. Looking at the only patterns we have (1-3 miles from a vzw store and a locally known eatery or attraction), downtown is out. There isn't a vzw store anywhere near downtown, and I wouldn't think they would put it north, east, or south of downtown because there just don't seem to be anything that fits there. That leaves niko nikos or some other restaurant i haven't thought of. I'm not originally from Houston, though, so I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to brainstorming. Any other ideas?

BBQ is big here but there's no one famous place, I was also thinking reliant statium or the galleria are, damn houston is too big.

But out of 9 given out so far, only 2 have been away from downtown or the main city, and those were in places that are VERY spread out. I wouldn't be too far from downtown Dallas, but that's just my theory.

That's what I'm thinking too.. We'll know soon enough (hopefully closer to 4 so I have a chance!!) :D

Man you're making me second guess myself :P The problem is, there are no VZW's in downtown Dallas, only on the outskirts. So if the whole "within a mile or two of a VZW store" pattern holds up, then it won't be downtown.

Either way, I need to get goin! I doubt the Droid is hidden in Watauga! :P

If the VZW theory is correct, then somewhere around Highland Park? Isn't the Lovers/Inwood location close to there?

It should totally be at the new Stadium. But that's just where it SHOULD be. You know, because it's sponsored by verizon and it's the HOME OF THE COWBOYS!!!!
 
reunion tower would make sense as well, but it's so obvious I doubt they would pick that. It's going to be some place obscure in Dallas.

I was at the stadium for a tour and i'm pretty sure that AT&T sponsors them.
 
So looking at the videos, it seems mixed.

The guy in san francisco had to go in the theatre and find the ticket, the guy in philly just walked around what appeared to be a museum, and the other one (can't remember the city) they just showed the guy with the ticket, but didn't show him actually snooping around for it.
 
Could someone send a DM to DroidDecoder and see if they are going to give a clue before the coordinates? I would hate to be in the wrong place and not get a clue
 
plus it seems like the clues start getting sent out around noon in the time zone of the location, so about 15 minutes till the eastern time zone clues start going out it would seem.

yeah there arent really any notable houston restaurants or anything and all the hiding spots ppl have mentioned are like 15mins away from each other haha. if they do this during rush hour...disaster. haha

Except that's in Arlington..

Maybe Cotton Bowl/Fair Grounds, but that is such a big area to look around.

That's why I'm thinking West End @ the old Dallas Alley, or Victory Park area right by the AAC.

The one in Minneapolis (I don't think they've posted a video of it yet) was taped underneath a bench outside of an ice cream shop. So you actually have to be looking around for it, you're not gonna see it out in the open.

hope so, but man what happened with detroit and minneapolis yesterday, 7 & 6 pm, hope they don't do that again
 
@cvf, i dm droiddecoder yesterday, and it seems that each location has its own team doing pretty much its own thing...it sounded like they are supposed to give a final clue tweet before the coordinates go out but they said they didn't know why the ones yesterday weren't following the format, actually i'll just post what droidecoder said...
i asked if they were not doing the final clue anymore...
We're not 100% sure on that matter. LA appears to be side-stepping the traditional method
 
I just got to Orlando.
Couldn't find a place w/ free wifi (even the starbucks that I had a coffee in...); fortunately, I found an Apple Store. I am testing their Mac and Safari to see if I can visit @DroidLanding and Android Forum :P Gotta thanks Jobs for this one. lol
