WARTRON: BOSTON is an adaptation of the event originally written by Team Snout and produced in the Portland, OR area in August of 2012. Boston Game Control is made up of a group of volunteers from a cross section of different Boston area puzzle hunt teams (Left as an Exercise for the Reader, Team Luck, Plugh, Illegal Immoral and Fattening). Between us we have experience running events such as the MIT Mystery Hunt, DASH and BAPHL. In order to participate in WARTRON: BOSTON you will need to complete a mini-puzzle hunt. This hunt is designed for a team of four to six people to solve in about three hours and will be released at noon EST on Sunday March 3rd. The hunt will remain open for two weeks and the first 20 teams to successfully complete it will be offered the opportunity to participate in WARTRON: BOSTON. Additional teams may be accepted as space permits. We need at least 60 participants (approximately 10 teams) in order to bring WARTRON to the Boston area. We will make a final determination as to whether or not this event is a go approximately one week after the end of the application period (mid-March). MORE INFORMATION: http://boston.wartron.net

http://www.tripleplaypuzzles.com/2013extravaganza.html On July 1, 2013, I [Trip Payne] will be releasing my second puzzle "extravaganza" contest. It will consist of 12 puzzles plus a "metapuzzle" that requires the answers to those puzzles in order to be solved. Solvers who submit a correct solution to the metapuzzle by the deadline (July 31) will be entered into a random drawing for the grand prize. There will be one $100 grand prize for every 100 people who purchase the extravaganza. So if there are between 300 and 399 buyers, for example, there will be three grand prizes of $100 each. The puzzles will primarily be word puzzles of various sorts. There will be no math puzzles, pure logic problems, music identification, computer programming, or sudoku. The difficulty level will be similar to last year's extravaganza -- challenging, but not brain-busting. All the puzzles will have explicit instructions; you will never wonder what you are supposed to do next.

http://www.pandamagazine.com/ P&A Magazine is a bi-monthly "puzzle hunt" magazine sold on-line, featuring a puzzle extravaganza (a series of interconnected puzzles leading to a single solution). Each issue contains logic, word, and trivia puzzles intended to challenge even the most hard-core solver.

http://puzzledpint.com Puzzled Pint is a monthly event for puzzle lovers in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington occurring on the second Tuesday of each month (unless otherwise announced). At 6:00 PM on the day before the event, we post a location puzzle to our web site. You'll have 24 hours to solve that puzzle, which will lead you to a local bar. Hints will be available on the web site. Starting at 6:00 PM on the day of the event, we'll be at the bar with more puzzles for you to solve while you enjoy drinks and food. If you don't have a team, we can introduce you to other puzzlers who may want to join forces. And hints are always free! Standings will be posted every month, but the goal of Puzzled Pint is for everyone to have fun! We welcome your thoughts on how to improve future events.
