💚💙 What Christmas would it be without the traditional X-Faction Field Art?

Agents in Warsaw, Poland gathered to celebrate this holiday in a very Ingress-y way with not one, but two different designs which they created by intersecting links and showing how Christmas brings unity even in our communities.

Below, you can find the full SITREPs about the operations.

Niantic released some details on a new global challenge, part of the Cryptic Memories Anomaly Series!

The Cryptic Memories Global Op will take place from January 12th, 17:00 UTC to February 5th, 17:00 UTC.

The medal for this event will have two tiers at the following thresholds:
Bronze: 1.500 points
Silver: 15.000 points

Agents will be able to earn points by performing the following actions:
- Destroying a resonator: 1pt
- Deploying a resonator: 2pts
- Upgrading another Agent's resonator: 2pts

The Faction with the greater number of Agents achieving Bronze or Silver tiers of the medal will earn a point-based advantage in the Cryptic Memory Anomaly Series which runs from January to March.

⚠️ Note: This is a separate medal from the Cryptic Memories Anomaly Medal!
The design for the Cryptic Memories Global Op will be revealed next week.

In addition, Niantic has also announced that the rules for the Cryptic Memories Anomaly will be revealed in two weeks, together with information as to how the point-based advantage will influence the score.

Wondering what it takes to earn the Cryptic Memories Global Ops Medal?

We've done a few calculations and we are sharing them with you!

Bronze Medal - 1.500 points
- 63 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 94 full-deploys of neutral Portals

Silver Medal - 15.000 points
- 625 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 938 full-deploys of neutral Portals

It's a steep road to Silver, but we know this threshold will be reached by many 💪

🇳🇱 Ingress Mission Day Holten, The Netherlands - March 2nd, 2024

The Dutch Ingress Community is proud to invite all Agents to the second part of their Worldtimepath Mission Day in Holten, The Netherlands!

The event will take place along the Worldtimepath, which is a trail approximately 11 kilometers long. This trail takes hikers through different time periods, starting from the Ice Age and ending in the present day. Along the way, hikers can learn about the history of the area and the changes that have occurred over time. To us, it looks like an interesting and educational experience for those who enjoy hiking and history and for those interested in learning more about the region!
Details about the trail are available at this link! (in Dutch)

Important update to the Chicago anomaly in May

After consideration and discussion with the POCs of the Chicago anomaly the decision was made by Niantic to reschedule the Anomaly, delaying it by a week from May 18 to May 25.

This decision was made in part due to a separate event that is held in Chicago on the weekend of May 18 causing prices for hotels to skyrocket and making it very expensive to visit the city during that time.
