tiibet Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This is such a great idea! And I love it that it's a collaboration with Swatch, not just team Mika organizing a competition, but also Swatch realizing he has active fans around the world and that a competition like this could be a success. Good material for his FB and to keep people busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good material for his FB and to keep people busy I don't think this is about Mika and his fans. They first did this competition in 1996 and apparently there were a million people involved even then. The prize at that time was a trip to visit your teammates, I guess as an incentive to join up with people on the other side of the world. It's awesome that they think meeting Mika and his watch make an attractive prize for Swatch fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiibet Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes, I understand Swatch has done this before. But I think there are a lot of famous people in their birthday campaign and they could have chosen someone else to collaborate with? So they had to realize his value and that he is international enough? It's not about Mika fans and a lot of people will take a part just to win a trip to London but it's still nice promotion and something Mika can use on his FB etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one got more than 20,000 likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one got more than 20,000 likes. Ugh. That's so true. And how many of them are already complaining about this competition?! It's too hard, they don't know where to look for the puzzle, they don't speak English well enough... And my favorite is the guy who wrote, "Send me the puzzles by mail." Anyhow, it looks like it's going to be a fun challenge, even if I have no chance of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Sorry I can't quote, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised people want to only see pics, lol, not after all "hot" comments! Still can't believe they are already complaining Let's hope a lot of Swatch fans will learn to know Mika though and many active Mika fans seem to be very excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krysady Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't understand,when they give us the clues,all the three members from a team has to be in touch online at the same time,trying to find the answer as soon as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are all complaining per se but many are asking for help. And if the log in in as buggy as it was the other day it's not going to help things. And yes Nina I hope it does attract a lot of Swatch fans. Especially since they will have more in their vocabulary than "hot!" or "come to X Country!"

I am thinking no but I guess we won't know for certain until the first round or unless they provide more information. Obviously having more heads together will increase your chances of deciphering the clue but I would imagine once a member of the team is able to get the code they will be able to enter it and the team is done. They are talking about giving hints many hours after the first clue so I imagine it's going to be difficult for some, if not almost everyone.

Especially since they will have more in their vocabulary than "hot!" or "come to X Country!" You know, I haven't had one bit of trouble with the site at all. Anyhow, yes, it's good that they'll be reaching folks outside of the Mika bubble -- that is, people who don't already know and follow everything Mika does. Definitely a good way to expand the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangBangLou Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I'm looking to join a team. I feel all self conscious randomly joining an existing team because I feel they might already be waiting for specific teammates. I'm cray.

kreacher Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm glad its open to non-Mika fans too, but i hope at least one MFCer wins. Others cant be counted on for reports and pics I'm scared the puzzles will be really difficult. Oh if only all the questions were Mika-related.

Miss Kristal Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It also seems a bit complicated to me but I'd still like to participate. Is there anyone who hasn't got a team yet or needs someone to complete theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
