  That’s so weird. I actually know the building it starts on. I had a meeting there and I looked it up on google maps to find the place because I’m from Canada not London. It’s not a particularly famous building either. The odds of that happening seem just insane.

  How long until somebody does a “Carmen Sandiego” game using Google maps?
  Or is there one already?
  Hang on, I’ll google it.

  Would be nice if it could incorporate zoom a little more. The tube ride in chapter four is quite tedious at street-level.

  Too tedious to go very far in it.

  Too tedious? I think it is brilliant! One of the hardest things to imagine for me is the geography behind stories, and this really takes care of that. And if I ever go to the UK, I may actually know which way is up a little more than before.

  I agree with WillF - it was a very creative way of telling a story. Got me to read the entire thing, too!
