Info
Ground Rules
- 5 riddles will be hidden inside of a labyrinth that is located at an institution. (figuring out which institution is part of the game)
- Players are asked to visit the institution and the labyrinth during open hours of operation.
- Riddles will be placed inside the labyrinth the morning of march 1 (1/2 hour prior to opening)
- Once there, visitors can search the labyrinth for 5 riddles + a bonus riddle to be solved. (it will be helpful to bring pen and paper)
- Once the riddles are solved/completed, players take their answers to the front desk and ask for solution confirmation
- If you get stuck, ask a friend.
- If people are having a really hard time of it, i'll post extra clues on this page.
- If the solutions are correct, they will receive a pin from the front desk. (each pin is individually numbered and signed)
- Pins are first come first serve for players who have solved the riddles -- until supplies run out. (I should warn you, I'm considering limiting the signed and numbered ones to 10).
- The game will end early if the pins run out.
Ground Rules
- Find the labyrinth (legally and during business hours, please).
- You must solve all 5 to get pinned. (inner crew to verify) OR
- Solve the bonus riddle, that if answered correctly (inner crew to verify) -- you go straight to pinning.
- One pin per solver.
- While at the institution, look around. it's pretty great,
- Play nicely. :)
Daniela's Notes about Game #2
This game is about divergent thinkers (a group i always find myself comfortably part of). Once the game is over, I will list all of the riddles and answers on this page.
---
"If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
come in!"
Shel Silverstein

4. How big are they? small, 1 inch.
5. Are they signed? yes.
6. Are they worth anything? :)
