From the Big Huge blog:
I don’t know who started it but this game is spreading like crazy. It seems to have originally been called “Pete’s Game” (Hey, Pete! Where are you?) but after several weeks has taken on a name and life of it’s own, now known simply as “The Game.” Here’s how it works:
The concept:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page, pick an image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s Mosaic Maker.
The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
