For all those budding sleuths out there I need you to answer me a question, who or what is Neurocam? I know this may sound simple, but believe me these people weave a mysterious web.

Wow! This is totally bizarre--I can scarcely believe it is true, and am still not sure that I do. What is the purpose behind it all?

It seems to me in these days of super-paranoid terrorism-realted-fear-driven governments that if Neurocam were really doing something "bad" or "shady"--the FBI, CIA, or Interpol would be all over them. So maybe it's just a 'game' where you can 'play' spy by doing seemingly mysterious things? Along the same lines, if they were dangerous or shady, why would they advertise their organization on a billboard?

None the less, I'm extremely curious and am heading over to their site straight away. ;)

I've just received another assignment being a couple of days after collecting the badge. (I know this seems to be happening rather quickly its because I've just decided to chronicle it for you guys but from now on things will be happening in 'real time'). I can't tell you too much at this stage only that it has "something to do with The Magus". (WWJr maybe that book you mentioned)

I did not realize there were billboards about it. FBI/CIA would not apply to me. Actually my ex-boyfriend is an internet cop here in Holland...for some reason I don't have much faith in our police, or other government bodies. hahah. Besides everything seems to be legal here anyway. :)

Mmmm Ace, I wonder what it is like to play outside of the US. I mean it is doubtful that they have a physical location involved in all places all over the world.

Well, if their desire is to get people involved in a lot of speculation and hype, it's succeeding.

And if it's a game, it sounds like it might be fun.

As long as it's not some stupid hidden camera thing or other prank!

I've done a little research and found some interesting web sites. Common belief is that Neurocam is a social experiment, but there are theories that it is a con game or just a regular role playing game. Either way, a lot of the people involved are art students/professors, which explains this page:

Here is what looks like a "Preview" for Neurocam:

And here is an in-depth discussion that contains many links to blogs:

Here's the "Who's who" of Neurocam:

And one of the most popular and informative blogs related to Neurocam:

Anyone have any good theories on this?

I agree jstkdn. I doubt it very much they would be physically located overseas and it seems most of the activity is located around Melbourne, Australia. If you have signed up let me know what happens or alternativly post it on this thread. I am really interested to find out the scope of Neurocams reach.

Actually, I've read that they are all over the world. People are participating from Europe, USA and other places.
