Usufructuary

Graffiti notwithstanding, this is probably my personal favorite Challenge to-date. And what’s more: with the type of traffic today’s Location tends to get, the Object is likely to remain in place until someone seeks it out.

Inside the Object focused in the last frames of today’s video is, as usual, a slip of paper. To earn 200 points, post the quoted phrase on that paper into the comments here. Make sure to register and login first — that’s how I keep track of scores.

Welcome to the Usufructuary. To summarize what you’re getting yourself into, here’s a brief excerpt from the rules page:

Usufructuary is a game that combines the spirit of usufruct and urban exploration with the format of a scavenger hunt. Completing a Challenge in the game usually requires both knowledge of the urban landscape and the ability to navigate with cunning. Some challenges require ingenuity and stealth, while others require speed, agility, or luck.

Because this is the first challenge, I’m not going to make it too difficult. Today’s Object is a film canister, completely visible in the picture attached below. You’ll know you have the right film canister because:

1. There are identifying green circular stickers on the top, bottom, and side of the canister.
2. The canister contains an email address and a secret phrase.

The first player to identify the Location, find the Object, and send the phrase to the email address inside will earn 200 Points. While this is really only a 100 point challenge, at most, I’m giving a Bonus because it’s the first such challenge.

Keep in mind that while you’re welcome to give out hints and spoilers in the comments, it’s usually beneficial not to do so until a winner is declared.
