So I don't want to give away any of my secrets, but here are the steps I follow high level to find new secret badges...
  1. Read clue and look at artwork. Try to hit anything that I think it could be.
  2. Read the release notes, thinking that what Eric has been working on recently is usually what he wants to highlight with a mystery badge.
  3. Stalk Eric, see what he's been up to lately because he's always the first one to get it so if I copy him I could stumble into it.

Doing that, I've found them all fairly quickly (never more than half an hour, some just a few minutes), but this time with the addition of a specific day I have resorted to literally going through every feature, even if I don't think it is the case, to find it. Just methodically working my way through the entire site. Trust me, going to my activity feed and trying each filter is quite the pain in the ass.
The xbox 360 was released Nov 22nd, 2005 which happened to be a Tuesday, so I was chasing that idea around for awhile when it was thought Tuesday was the day to unlock it. Went to all the game pages for the 360 launch titles and some other stuff, but now guess that theory is probably thrown out the window.

I have a couple other ideas in mind, but will have to wait until later in the week to test it.
I still stand by the theory that it's only available on a Saturday; kind of a "week in review" type thing since the best week ever badges state that the week runs Sunday to Saturday.

So what's new that Eric has been working on? haha

Eric said he manually gave himself the badge so he wasn't able to go to pay on Tuesday so I'm guessing Tuesday is ruled out.

It says Search for...does that mean find out the site or it requires a specific phrase in the search box?

The icon is that of a calendar but there's only a few places you can pull a calendar up and plus a search on Assassin's Creed gets nothing too haha

I just want to say, I don't think the icon has to be a calendar.

So...... major troll from Eric?! Or is it an anniversary badge?
Well Fshguy got it yesterday.
