The site

The packages from Joseph Candoloro intercepted by participants for Operation Slipknot turned out to be Joker-associated, since these participants received a text message on their new phones from humanresources@whysoserious.com:

I wouldn't worry about Gordon. ITS ALL PART OF THE PLAN


This lead to Whysoserious.com/Itsallpartoftheplan, the starting point for a game that will presumably commence on April 28.

The countdown site features Jokerized portraits of numerous political figures on a wall, with a Joker card run through with a red knife near the top.

Locations

The portraits are updated with instructions to meet at certain coordinates (linked to Google Maps) in each city at 5:30pm local time on Monday, April 28, similar to the Whysoserious.com/ComicCon scavenger hunt game.

Gather with 300 of your closest friends at this exact spot on April 28th.

You'll need to be in contact with a partner-in-crime who has online access to relay your instructions once you're there. These instructions will give you the TRAIL to follow, but be sure to look both ways when crossing the street; we wouldn't want you to make an unscheduled visit to the ER now, would we?

Put on a smile and plan to spend about an hour or so bonding with your fellow clowns.

Check back here often for updates or changes.


The locations are as follows:

  • Boston: George Washington Statue in the Boston Public Garden
  • Los Angeles: Courtyard on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave
  • Philadelphia: Warehouse on 4000 block of Main St (check Google Maps)
  • Chicago: Northwest fountain in Olive Park
