Wondering if anyone was working on one? Do we have something to look forward to?

Good question. It's been quite a while since the last featured mystery was added. I've been wondering when a new one would be placed on the site.

A few times I've thought about writing one but I know they are long and very time consuming. Of course I wouldnt rush through to get it up I would take my time and all. Then again if I did right one what would it be about? What city would I have it set in and all that stuff?

Maybe I might secretly start work on a mystery and not tell anyone. Then out of nowheres everyone logs on and sees kidgames mystery online.

I went to see the Fortune Teller and he told me that Ben is working on one that will be very good, and has another to look at which may be naff. The crystal ball clouded over before he got a closer look.......

I'd like to write one, but as I've never seen one... I'm not sure what to expect. But, according to the 'Submitting Content Page', it doesn't look like Ben's taking submissions. http://newyork.hypoware.com/map/cityhall/contribute.spy

Hmm I see you are unsubscribed. If you subscribe you can play featured mysteries (as well as other great stuff like joining agencies, participating in treasure hunts, traveling to other cities).

It does seem like noone can submit stuff though. I looked and it says there is a backlog of featured mysteries. So I guess lately a lot of people have been submitting featured mysteries so there may be a bunch up online soon.

Friday night (or saturday morning early if you prefer) at midnight im going to virginia to visit family there. No computer. So when I get back in 2 weeks theres probably gonna be a lot of new featured mysteries up.

Yes, I definitely would like to see some new feature mysteries. If any do come online, I will jump at the opportunity.

Sorry, as the contributions page says, I actually have a backlog of them submitted now. They do take quite a bit of time for me to format and code into a working mystery, so I can't turn them around immediately after they are submitted.

In fact...

Red Queen, the next featured mystery written by Michael Bagen should be ready to go by the end of the week. I will announce a time and day as I get closer to completion.

Sorry about this delay, but as I said, these things do take quite of bit of my time, as well as the author's.

That's okay Ben, we all love you for the amount of work you put into this game. We can be patient for a little longer.....

Thanks for doing this!!!
