FevGames has adapted the First Saturday Event to be attended from your own home!

From their website: "A ‘Base Portal’ is required to help run some activities we have planned and show your city on a map, however the portal will not be activated and will not be required to be hacked. There will be no need to leave home for any of the activities. All the details will be announced soon."

IUENG Virtual IFS, 6th June 2020

@IUENG is proud to announce the first virtual event run by a telegram channel!

The Ingress First Saturday will start at 12.00 UTC (mid-day), and will last 2 hours.

Feel free to join us, to be part of the craziest virtual event ever done!

The base city will be Udine in Italy, home of admin @GigaThunder, and the base portal will be "Castello di Udine", a Castle in the center of the city. First build, according to a legend, by Attila the Hun in 452, rebuilt after an earthquake in 1517 to host one of the first parliaments in the world. Today it is home for some museums and the big square in front of it is used for music and theatre events.

With the transition to Niantic Spatial the team has been reduced significantly and as such, standalone Mission Days outside of Anomalies will be temporarily paused.
