Winning option:up to 5,000 http://improveverywhere.com/2012/07/30/the-mp3-experiment-nine/

Over 4,000 participants showed up at New York City’s Governor’s Island on July 15th to participate in this year’s MP3 experiment, the 9th of its kind. Donning headphones and simultaneously taking commands from the same pre-recorded omnipotent voice, pseudo-Olympians took part in several ridiculous games which included implements like bed-sheets and time-honored skills like water-marksmanship.

Predictions

Background

The Mp3 Experiment Nine will take place on Sunday, July 15 at 3:00 PM on Governors Island in New York City as part of the River to River Festival.

The Mp3 Experiment is participatory public event created by Improv Everywhere. Improv Everywhere stages a new Mp3 Experiment in New York each year and also tours the project regularly to college campuses and international festivals.

This is how it works: Improv Everywhere puts an original mp3 file online (usually around 45 minutes long) that people download and transfer to their mobile devices. Participants then synchronize their watches to an atomic clock on our website, head out to the same public location, and blend in with others. At the predetermined time, everyone presses play. Hilarity ensues as participants carry out ridiculous, coordinated instructions delivered to their headphones via narrator “Steve” and everyone else tries to figure out what the hell is going on.
