Where in the World Is BrainStore?
UPDATE: We have a winner! Congrats to Jan-Paul and Michael who correctly guessed (at the same time) that BrainStore is in Munich today!
If you’re been following BrainStore for a while, you’ll know that we’ve been all over the world. We’ve traveled to four continents, holding our Idea Events everywhere from Zurich, Switzerland to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Chicago in the USA.
In fact, BrainStore’s traveling right now!
Today and tomorrow, we’re holding an Idea Event somewhere in the world… but we’re not going to tell you where we are!
Instead, we’re going to give you several clues and see if you can guess!
The first person to guess where BrainStore is today will win a copy of The Idea Machine in English or German (your choice) and a set of our special “It’s Possible” post-its.
Ready?
Here are your first 3 clues:
- The city’s official colors are the same ones used by the Holy Roman Empire.
- During World War II, the city was hit by 71 air raids over a period of 6 months.
- This city is the most successful city in Bundesliga history.
We’ll post new clues every hour until someone guesses correctly.
Go!
Enemies of the idea, beware!

There are all kinds of enemies to a good idea. To just name a few: The focus group, the legal department, the budget, the input of the Creative Director, the deadline…. you make the list.
Fabulous San Francisco based Illustrator Scott Campbell has created a series of subtle and humorous illustrations for the independent film group “Show Off” in Portugal, showing the idea and its enemy in the form of – for instance – Titanic and the Iceberg, Little Red Riding Hood and the Woolf or Marie-Antoinette and the Guillotine, advertising the creativity of “Show Off” film group.
Amazing talent and a great idea! Loved it!
Thanks to you Jan, for the link.
