Despite having run a weekend long Game (24 hour west coast road rally style puzzle hunt), prior to this fall I'd only actually participated in one, so I was gleefully happy when I learned that a group would be running such a Game in Washington DC at the end of September. The Game in question was called the Famine Game. And was based on the Hunger Game novels. The 75th Annual Famine Game. And I hashed out a basic plan for our application video. We refined it further over the next two weeks as we discovere...

It occurred to me recently that I've started taking part in puzzle events on a regular basis and that I should start keeping a list of these events (and my write-ups about them) so that I can more easily direct interested parties to information about them. BAPHL 13: Puzzle Island ( official site. Dash 7: Harry Potter ( official. Spring is Coming ( official site. MIT Mystery Hunt: 20,000 Puzzles Under the Sea ( official site.

Is the BANG dead? (No really!) | Puzzalot

Stuff about, you know, puzzles. Is the BANG dead? I think I mentioned somewhere (apparently not here) that the Burninators. 2011 run of BANG 28. Was so good, it pretty much killed the Bay Area Night Game. Originally, this was my way of paying compliment to all the hard work and incredible design the Burninators had put into their BANG, and that it would be hard, if not impossible, to top. It was not intended as a prediction of things to (not) come. The Different Area Same Hunt. The Berkley Mystery Hunt.

That Puzzle Guy's Blog. Waiting for an endorsement deal from Pentel. Well, it's been three weeks and chatter about the recent American Crossword Puzzle Tournament has died down. So, finally, who wants to hear about how I crapped the bed this year? Now then, the tale of my undoing. This includes a picture of the offending solution grid as well as other spoilers, so if you have yet to do the at-home solving, you probably should avoid clicking through. If you see something I really should change. Decathlon&...

The Famine Games: persona
http://persona.livejournal.com/349093.html
I'm going to lose most of these memories if I don't relate them soon, so I will write the recap that I always want to read from the Games. Plus, with a nasty rash of van thefts at the final stop, having garage parking may have saved us a lot of heartache. I won't get to do this every year, for scheduling and budgeting reasons. But I am really hoping to be able to take what I've seen here and participate in, and yes eventually help to organize, more of these in the future. Like I said to Todd afte...Dinne...

That Puzzle Guy's Blog. Former child documentary star. I dreamed a dream. As you may have noticed, I've become pretty lazy in discussing my various doings in the puzzle world. I need to make the effort for the 2016 MIT Mystery Hunt, however, because my team ran it. You can get plenty of perspectives elsewhere from competitors and my teammates alike, and I don't want to put another retread here. I'll just share what I was involved in and share a few personal thoughts. The Sound of Silence. Probably my mos...

Stuff about, you know, puzzles. Epilepsy and Me: The Big Bad Seizure. I awoke and instantly it was all wrong. I was lying on my back, but not in my bed. I tried to move my head to look around me, but found it was strapped down. The same was true of my limbs as well. I could not move. Whats happening? I croaked out. Someone sitting nearby. Why cant I move? You need to be quiet, said the person. Try and be calm. But why cant I move? Just stay still, was the only response. Try not to move. In the summer cla...

That Puzzle Guy's Blog. And Clarkson still sucks. Last week, I returned from the annual National Puzzlers' League. Convention, which this year was held in Portland, Maine. As usual, I had a fantastic time solving and socializing with my puzzling family, and I still have a pile of cryptics I never got to! If you see something I really should change. Looking ahead, here's another reminder of the upcoming Lollapuzzoola. American Values: Working on holidays. Hey, it's Christmas! Remains very much available!
