Legends Of Alcatraz: It Begins
On January 27, something is happening at Alcatraz…
After JJ Abrams’ new TV series premiered on January 16th, visitors to LegendsOfAlcatraz.com were presented a short puzzle. Solving this puzzle revealed a cryptic announcement for an event that would take place at N37 49.6062 W122 25.3793907 – Alcatraz Island.
The announcement [image] indicated a time of “9:14”, and the dates January 27, 28, 29. On Wednesday, more details were provided:
We now know that the event will take place Friday evening, of January 27th. “It Begins.”
Dr. Soto has arranged exclusive night-time access to the Rock for those interested in helping him solve mysteries for his new book – “Legends of Alcatraz”.
The first 302 volunteers to check in when and where we say on Friday are selected.
Don’t miss this special once-in-a-lifetime adventure!What to bring:
- A flashlight
- Warm clothes
- A comfortable pair of shoes
Note:
- This event will last approximately 2-3 hours. Food and drink will not be permitted on the island so please eat before you come.
- Parking is not provided.
- If under the age of 18, you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Valid ID required.
302 people – that’s number of guards and prisoners who ‘disappeared’ from Alcatraz in 1963.
Diego himself posted a new update to his comic shop’s tumblr, linking to an organization that re-enacts history. Could this be a hint of something we might see Friday night?
I can’t wait for them to do this again. Fort Point has a “Civil War Living History Day,” organized by the Friends of Civil War Alcatraz.

Attendees to Friday’s event will likely experience quite a memorable adventure, even if only for the visit to Alcatraz Island itself, at night. If “Diego” is indeed there, then expect more than just a simple tour of Alcatraz.
