I saw a comment reference in a discussion you started that lead me to the cues discussion you guys are having. I can't add to it there w/o joining the Minneapolis group, but can here and you can pass it on. For the Atlanta Freeze last night, we used synchronized cell phone alarms set on vibrate. Since they are controlled by satellites, they get the time from outside so are snyced to the second. People without phones watch those around them and freeze by those visual cues. Set a second alarm to go off for unfreeze or whatever you are doing. No one hears a thing. It worked flawlessly here with over 70 agents. I picked up on it from the Seattle & Portland discussions. Have people fiddle with their phones well beforehand though since our unfreeze signals weren't quite as perfect due to some people being unfamiliar with that function on their phones (me included). But everyone relies on visual cues again since once someone moves, it's over.
