[OT] upcoming "The Game" game with a TRON/WarGames theme

so if you've never heard of "The Game" games, or DASH or BANG or the rest, prepare to fall down the rabbithole of your life.

Do we have anyone near Portland willing to sponsor a team? It's too early to apply, but they only accept a limited number of teams, so slots fill early. Prepare to create an application like you're auditioning for a job. Experience with Flynn Lives should help a lot!

(for background on this style of play, here are some links for reference and background)

well, yes, these kinds of games are like Road Rallye sports or scavenger hunts. The puzzles and clues are location-specific, or at least are designed to be solved in a sequence (each solution tells you where to head next), along with some amount of immersion via role-playing and physical sets.

However, there *might* be a puzzle or two showing up online next week, as part of the "recruitment" phase. Teams apply for the opportunity to play, as slots are limited. Part of their application involves a challenge...

Visit the ReadMe for the details, then next week head to the events link -- start at http://www.gotovision.net/ for the full experience.

(Either way, I think the players in this forum will appreciate the homage they've got going there.)
