Whodunnit? Competition proceeds as usual while Grim’s investigation continues
While chatter and speculation on Grim’s disappearance makes its rounds amongst the Eyewire community, HQ keeps their silence on the matter and promises that the bi-monthly competition will proceed as usual. (See our previous article on Grim’s sudden disappearance here).
The National Enqeyewirer finds HQ’s blasé response rather alarming when a such a staple Eyewire community member like Grim has gone missing! But nevertheless, perhaps a gathering of Eyewirers for another friendly competition will unlock some of the clues behind Grim’s mysterious disappearance.
The National Enqeyewirer reporters have gathered exclusive inside information on the upcoming dates of each competition event. Read on to be the first to know where and when these events will take place.
