Fresh Takes on Innovation

UPDATE: We have a winner! Congrats to Axelle who was the first to guess (on Facebook) that BrainStore was in Strasbourg today.

Here’s where we held the Idea Event! For more pictures, check out our photo album on Facebook.

Last month, we started a new contest here on Brainstore’s blog called “Where in the World is Brainstore?”  Why?

In the past 20 years, 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 Washington D.C. in the USA.

So since we get to have so much fun traveling, we thought we’d share the fun and give you all a chance to win prizes as well!

So Where in the World is Brainstore?

Today, we’re actually holding two Idea Events simultaneously!  One at our Idea Factory in Biel, Switzerland… and one somewhere else in the world.

Where?  We’re not telling!

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).

Ready?

Here are your first clues:

• In the mid 1400’s, this city’s newly-build Cathedral – named after the city – stole the title of “World’s Tallest Building” from the Great Pyramid of Giza.
• This city was the location for a bizarre plague where hundreds of citizens took to the streets and danced without stopping for days until many of them died.  The cause of “plague” is still a mystery.
• 1988 was a big year for this city – it celebrated its 2000th birthday!
• This city was the first one to have it’s entire historic city center classified a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

We’ll post new clues periodically until someone guesses the correct city!

Go!
