I think that was just set up for a photo. The statue looks like something easily purchased. It was easily purchased: a statue of St. Dymphna. Being readily available was actually part of the story of that bespoke experience, as the statue was the murder weapon of the story, and had been modified pretty heavily with blood and hair embedded within, with some strategic breaks. It was way creepier then we'd generally have sent to anyone, but we were instructed to pump up the creepy because the recipient would be able to take it. During their exploration of the piece, the recipient was posting real-time updates to their Facebook page, and the sender was screenshotting it and forwarding them to us, in near real time. The entire company was giggling along as it played out. It wasn't from this package, but we had a number of police calls over the years, and one of our staff was arrested because of a package once, but I'll never share more detail about those stories in a written form. 😇

I stand corrected on the gender of the person depicted in the statue, then.

May I humbly ask what the first event was, Sir? The first was an ARG that Misha and I did for my girlfriend's birthday that went simply swimmingly. "There's a business here," I said. "There sure is!" he replied. It was four years before the second event solidified that original idea: an ARG for a single person, with an artifact in a crate as the climax. Very cool! Thanks!

She came up as the Virgin Mary in a Google Search, but thanks for the correction and story behind it. I missed out on The Bespoke Experiences.

Can we just start a story time thread with Timmo detailing old bespoke experiences and the tales that accompany them? Even if it was a once a week thing I would totally look forward to that.

Seconded. When I first joined it was with the intention of getting a bespoke experience for myself and a group of friends. Sadly by the time I was getting into the company those were winding down but would enjoy hearing about what other people got to experience.

I still have secret fantasies about getting a Bespoke Experience. When I get really bored at work, that's what I daydream about. Well, that and Chris Hemsworth...
