![]() Tired of your boring life? Aren't most of us? Maybe you could spice things up by participating in a game that plays out in real life - with you as a secret agent.
So, you're out of town on business, and someone calls you with a chance to participate in the game:
"Not particularly. You know I'm in Edinburgh?"
