I don't know how this would go down as a "game", but I thought I'd give it a go.
I've composed a list of items below that we need to "find". There are no time limits, but it'd be interesting to see how quickly we can get all those items. I guess if we made a nominal one, then keeping with the hunting spirit and considering Easter is coming up, lets see if all the items can be found before Good Friday (02/04/2010).
To "find" an item, simply take a photo of the item (including any conditions in the item), upload it then post it here. (For those that do not have access to an upload service, you can PM me then I will upload it to a space on my FT Galleries.)
Rules
Obviously for some items I or any of us cannot be there to verify it may be correct, so we'll have to trust that everyone that participates is doing so for the spirit of the game, and the consensus will also decide whether a find is acceptable or not.
Everyone understand? Good! I'm hoping that someone may be able to pick this game up again once we go through it, and make the next list.
Without further ado, here is the list:

Rules
- Finds can only be photos that are dated from the date of this OP (22/02/2010) or later. No previous photos are allowed. No stock photos are allowed. No photos or images borrowed from airline websites are allowed. No manufactured/synthesised photos. No conjuring the photo on your computer and then taking a photo of the computer screen. Essentially, it has to be a photo you have taken in your travels or daily life.
- Post only one find per posting; in each post of a find, specify:
- The name and number of the item found
- The find (i.e. the photo)
- Where it was found (at least city and country)
- Date the photo was taken
- Any other short description
- The only synthesis/modification allowed with photos is scrubbing out personal details or where it is required by law.
- A single member can only find up to three items.
- I'll try to keep the thread regularly updated as to:
- Who found what
- What has been found and what is left to be found
- Hall of Trios - members who have found three items in the list

Without further ado, here is the list:

- Bottle of Krug
- "Final Call" written in a language other than English
- Airport directional sign written in at least three languages (including English)
- Boarding pass which is completely printed (e.g. the BP without any print on it would be just a completely blank piece of cardboard/paper)
- Old style “clickety-clack” flipping departures / arrivals board except in the QF F Lounges (MEL or SYD) or FRA
- A single word which has two distinct antonyms (these antonyms are not synonyms of each other)

- A triple shot espresso
- A non-Australian nationalistic soft toy in a duty free shop (not necessarily in Australia)
