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 a specific time (counted down) 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 emphasis on "TRAIL" and "ER" implies that the reward for this game will be the next Dark Knight theatrical trailer.


The locations are as follows:

  • Boston: George Washington Statue in the Boston Public Garden at 5:30pm
  • Los Angeles: Courtyard on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave at 5:30pm
  • Philadelphia: Warehouse on 4000 block of Main St (check Google Maps) at 5:30pm
  • Chicago: Northwest fountain in Olive Park at 5:30pm
  • Dallas: Northway Christian Church on the corner of Airline Rd and E NW Parkway at 5:30pm
  • Seattle: Amphitheater in Victor Steinbrueck Park at 5:30pm
  • New York: Center of Bryant Park at 5:30pm
  • Kansas City: Northeast corner of Sprint Pkwy and W 117th St, across from the Sprint Nextel Corporation (may be inside the compound) at 5:30pm
  • Toronto: Center of Nathan Phillips Square at 6:30pm
  • San Francisco: Center of Hillside Park at 5:30pm
  • London: Center of St. James's Square at 9pm
  • San Paulo: Center of west section of Parque Ten. Siqueira Campo at 9pm
