Samhain Says

When: Last 3 weeks in October

Where: That's kinda the point...

Sam takes pictures of the future. Pictures with his mind. Right now, his mind is picturing murder!

Each week, he'll predict a new death and post a series of psychic photographs on his Facebook page. If you can locate the crime scene and cleanse it, by leaving behind a mystical symbol, you can prevent the murder and save a life. When nobody dies, everybody wins.

Samhain Says is a cooperative, anytime game that takes players off the beaten path.

The killing starts Monday, October 10th.

Journey to the End of the Night: St. Paul

Save the Date!: Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Starting Time: 7:00 p.m.

The people demand more play! And MNZERO abides. Join us Saturday, September 17th for Journey to the End of the Night: St. Paul. Tell your friends, save the date, and get ready for a city-sized game of chasing and checkpoints.

The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger's signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.

For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.


I'm confused. What's with all the heavy breathing?:

http://totheendofthenight.com/ should clear things up.

Whoa. This is cool. Can I help?:

You so totally can. Check out our call for volunteers and tell us how you can help us make another great JTTEOTN.

Asylum

When: Saturday, August 20th, 4-6pm

Where: Calhoun Square

In this game of recreational espionage, one team orchestrates a wild goose chase designed to whisk a Defector away from the watchful eyes of their rivals. The surveillance team tries to track the Defector and photograph them making contact with the enemy. Then, the teams switch roles and do it all again.

Both rounds of this fast-paced game should conclude in under two hours, then dinner. Everything from team formation to planning will happen on-site, no prep required.

Dino Hunt!

When: Saturday, July 9th, 4-7pm

Where: Minnehaha Park

Tribes of prehistoric vegetarians will hunt dinosaur puppets with wiffleball spears, while trying to avoid the predations of ptreacherous pterodactyls. With each meatless kill, they'll claim a new dish for their vegetarian picnic.

Volunteer Puppeteers Needed! Must be able to run fast whilst impersonating a paleontological creature. If you're interested, post a comment below or find us on Facebook.

A donation of $5, to cover food, would be appreciated. Volunteers eat for free.

That was, hands down, the best vegetarian dinosaur puppet hunt with whiffle balls that has ever been orchestrated by mankind. Congratulations to all involved. (Yeah, I know. Pics or it didn't happen...)
