Ready your teams of approximately 4 for another puzzle hunt!

MN0PQ is a puzzle-solving race through unexpected environs. The
solution to each unique puzzle will point to the next puzzle's
location. The first team to make it to the end (and take the fewest
hints) wins, but everyone will have fun. Teams should have three to
four players and may want to bring pencils, paper, clipboards,
scissors, tape, hats, and BRAINS. The puzzle hunt can be completed on
foot, and any lengthy puzzles will have warm, sheltered space in which
to complete them.

MN0PQ puzzles feature a mixture of logic, lateral thinking,
exploration, and experimentation. The puzzles are challenging and
designed for groups of 4. But fear not: There is a hint system
available, so if a puzzle is particularly annoying, you can skip it
(at the cost of points).

Registration is hereby open!

Send an email to mnzeropq@gmail.com to register your team. We need a
team name and an email address for full teams. Also let us know if you
have a complete team of four, if you are a single player looking for a
team, or if you are a team looking to adopt a player.

Also:
If you want to volunteer to help in any way, let us know! We will
definitely need help on game day, as well as for preparation. Also,
playtesting is always helpful!

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.

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.

When
