We owe all of our success to your intuition, cooperation and diligence.
We've been through quite a lot over these past few months - from Flynn's Arcade to the infiltration of Encom... from global scavenger hunts to the discovery of a secret work server... from Space Paranoids to the search for Sam - our movement has emerged stronger and more fired-up than ever to find Kevin Flynn.
This is all thanks to you.
You have ignited our resolve and opened up a whole new world beyond our wildest imagination. This is Flynn's realm, and we are closer than ever to finding him.
There's so much more on the horizon - meet-ups to attend, clues to hunt down, mega-huge software companies to keep honest - but, for the next few weeks, we need to lay low. We'll be calling on you before you know it, so stay connected, keep your contact info up-to-date and always remember: FLYNN LIVES!

...We now have a passageway into Kevin Flynn's world!
In 1989, Kevin Flynn was formulating bold new theories in the fields of gaming, computing and digital evolution. Tragically, he disappeared before he could transform the tech world with these radical concepts.
But now, our F.L. members have uncovered one of Flynn's old work servers and revealed a new page in his turbulent history. So, Log On and explore! The following codes will help you start navigating through the techno-breach (move your cursor over the field below):

Curious how we found them? Well, they're all thanks to "glitches" in Space Paranoids. See, Flynn programmed hidden rooms in every sector of the game - you have to bump into some walls to find them, but they're there, trust us! And each room has a curious piece of art hanging in it - check this out:
Take a crack at Space Paranoids and find them all for yourself.
Encom finally gives up the goods on a revamped classic.
Before there was the internet... before we all carried cell phones... before the tech explosion of the mid-80's... there was Space Paranoids. Kevin Flynn dreamt of a world beyond our reality, where Recognizers loom above and tanks bob and weave their way through a glowing, neon labyrinth. Over the years, we have all benefited from that dream and today, we get to experience it anew. The latest version of S.P. preserves everything that was great about the original and offers new insight into the projects Flynn was developing before he disappeared.
We miss you, KF - but, we PLAY in your honor.
Your spot-on detective work led to Sam's whereabouts... but how did you do it?
It was a complex string of clues to decipher, but you did the legwork and tracked down Kevin Flynn's son. Now he has heard our battle cry, he has acknowledged our support, but he moved on before we had a chance to contact him directly... to tell him that he's not alone in the search for his father. We fight to preserve the Flynn name!
To retrace the steps it took to locate Sam, check out this recap.
Help us track him down - he needs our support!
There's a debate brewing on our discussion boards as to the whereabouts of Kevin Flynn's enigmatic son, Sam. Check out what's already been said and get ready to scour the globe for evidence.
He's got to know where we stand - Flynn Lives will never abandon the search for Sam's father, no matter where it takes us!
Where is Sam?
It's about time to start brushing up on those tank driving skills.
Encom developed this trailer for "Space Paranoids Online" and even though we hate to give them props, this new incarnation of Flynn's classic looks extra sweet.
See for yourself.
How our stalwart band of protesters conquered Encom
Anticipation filtered through the city of San Francisco (along with the bracing wind and scattered rain). Our intrepid street teams were getting the word out, loud and strong: Kevin Flynn is alive and well! And to show our solidarity, we assembled in the Grand Ballroom at 5 Embarcadero Center just before the main event.
The mood was rousing and festive - we were ready to disrupt the Encom press conference in a huge way... and disrupt it we did.
A big thanks to everyone for their support!
Check out our pre-meeting.
Young Flynn has an announcement of his own.
Looks like Kevin Flynn's son Sam has posted a video on our discussion boards. "89. That was the year everything changed for me," says Sam as he readies his parachute for the jump. "I'm doing you a favor (Alan) because you know and I know that you really don't like these Encom dog and pony shows."
And we thought we were going to steal the stage from Encom last night! Good job Sam, you've outdone us again.
See Sam's own video of the stunt here.
Encom event gets interrupted - TWICE!
Hundreds of people gathered in Justin Herman Plaza tonight as Alan Bradley unveiled that Space Paranoids would be making its way online soon.
But the big news is that our resourceful FL members got everyone's attention by rushing the stage and letting the world know that Flynn is still out there. "While Encom smeared his name to blame him for their mismanagement, while they rack up the profits off of his work - SPACE PARANOIDS IS, WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A KEVIN FLYNN WORK OF ART!" Way to go guys!
The even BIGGER news is that right after the FL interruption, an Encom helicopter appeared and someone skydived out of it - flying right over the crowd and landing next to the stage!
Check out this clip of what went down.
We're ready to make some waves in the city by the bay!
Flynn Lives is on the ground in San Francisco to lay the foundations for our biggest demonstration ever! Encom International's press conference is scheduled for Friday, April 2nd at 8pm in the Justin Herman Plaza and they're making it open to the public... they will soon regret that decision.
We are holding a special Flynn Lives meeting earlier at 6:30pm, and you are an essential part of our mission. To learn more, check out this new site - it's got all the details.

Encom's press conference will have some unexpected visitors (us!)
The suits over at Encom International are gearing up to make some grand pronouncement on April 2nd at the Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco. Looks like some notable figures will be in attendance, namely Alan Bradley and some of the executive wing of the company. We can't wait to hear what Mr. Bradley has to say - as for the rest of them, we're sure it's the same old song-and-dance. They haven't acknowledged Kevin Flynn for decades, so why would they start now?
We're going to pay a little visit to their press conference to keep them honest - so get the word out and bring your friends. We need as many supporters there as possible. This is going to be big!
The "Employee-Only" Region of Encom's Intranet Is Now Fair Game
Some very brave operatives have been making major strides in our effort to get a closer look at Encom's inner-sanctum... and we just blew the doors off the place last week. Secret discussions, plans, articles - they're all there, and they're all ripe for the picking

And thanks to the help of Zack and his password cracker, we now have a better picture of their executive branch, from Alan Bradley to their soulless CEO. See for yourself by entering the names of these Encom big-wigs:

Reconciling the idealistic Encom of the Kevin Flynn era with the mega-conglomerate of today
Imagine it: losing one of your best friends and most trusted confidants, and then taking the blame (unfairly) for the financial strife of his multi-billion dollar company. Most people couldn't survive such an ordeal...
...But, most people are not like Alan Bradley.
Encom's world-famous Executive Consultant (and go-to guy for good PR) recently sat down with IGN to discuss his complicated history within the company, as well as the topic on everyone's mind: Kevin Flynn.

It's time to breach Encom's firewall of secrecy
They arrived in the mail: laminated passports to a corporate realm of greed and power. Custom made with your picture and a unique ID number, these badges are your entry into Encom International. But, how will we leverage this incredible opportunity? By piercing the nerve center of their top-secret employee/employer network, that's how.. To see what they're up to, check this out.

A Strange Transmission Filters Through Cyberspace
Kevin Flynn's presence has manifested itself in every conceivable form of technology over the past three decades - his soul is in our games, our software, and our very awareness of modern computing. But just two days ago, some very perceptive Flynn Lives members stumbled across a new and bizarre digital artifact. It appears to be a phantom glitch in the system that defies categorization:

What is Encom up to now?
Our intrepid Flynn Lives members are keeping an eye on things over at Encom International. Years ago, they slandered Kevin Flynn's good name and abandoned the search for him... but we never will.

Last week, Flynn enthusiasts scoured the globe for artifacts from a brilliant career. Kevin Flynn's quintessential video game, TRON, spawned a pop-culture phenomenon - action figures, graphic novels, even TRON trading cards. And it was these trading cards that led fans on a global hunt for evidence of Flynn's existence.
