  • He has a web-site:

    https://biketag.org/

    Here it is for Portland, for instance:

    https://portland.biketag.org/archive?count=all

    It's a nice way of archiving pictures, which we've had problems with here, but questions that arise immediately are whether there's a forum so people can chat, and whether people can give clues? Was the idea born from a Portland bike forum?

    Also, there doesn't seem to be A MAP! :)

    And yes, MinhDinh, the patron saint of BToB, started it. Praised be his name.

  • Was the idea born from a Portland bike forum?

    From the first post:

    I copied this from my motorcycle forum.

    In fact they are really really old games... I can find online references to "tag-o-rama" games played by motorcycles to the mid-noughties. And that made me ask my dad if he ever played it (he's an old Hells Angel from the 1970s and still rides to this day) and the answer is yes! Though it used to be with riddles and clues more than photos, but eventually became photos when it was quick and cheap to do so (disposable film cameras and mail-in printing).

  • Oh, I know where ours came from. I didn't mean to ask whether the general idea was born from a Portland forum, but where Ken got it from, which jellybaby found. Great to hear about the ancient history! Good games never die.

  • That’s really interesting, though as Oliver says, the range was potentially enormous! Truly we have a lot to be grateful to @MinhDinh for!
