http://realescapegame.com/sp/sf/ The titans are coming, and they’re hungry. Based on the manga megahit, Attack on Titan, the newest Real Escape Game (REG) takes players to a world inhabited by giant, humanoid creatures that live for no other purpose than to make a snack of all of us. The high walls of the stadium are the only thing keeping you safe… for now. Experience the latest edition of SCRAP’s interactive storytelling and puzzle-solving games, ¨Escape from the Walled City,¨ on a scale never seen before. Join thousands of other players as you decode clues inside a real stadium! Each REG requires participants to use their best detective skills as they race against the clock. Be warned, though: survival isn’t easy, and teamwork will be essential if you hope to survive. Escape or not, the game is going to be killer! This event will be held in stadiums in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. After already hosting over 40,000 players in the US to date, the SCRAP team is excited to present a new project with such a grand scope, keeping them at the forefront of live escape entertainment!

Puzzled Pint is a social puzzle solving event which happens on the second Tuesday of every month in locations around the world! For the current list of PP cities, visit our web site: http://www.puzzledpint.com The Friday before each event, we post a location puzzle to this web site. The solution to that puzzle will lead you to a local pub/bar/restaurant in your city. Hints will be available here on the site, and you can also e-mail us with questions. On the night of the event, show up at the pub any time between 6PM and 9PM (7-10PM in London and DC), and we'll have more puzzles for you to solve while you enjoy drinks and food. Most teams take between 30 minutes and 2 hours to solve a typical puzzle set. "Game Control" will be on hand to give hints and verify answers. 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. Use the feedback link on this web site, find us on Facebook or Twitter, or join our announcements mailing list for more information.

If you're a fan of The Game, National Treasure, Amazing Race, Da Vinci Code or Goonies, this is the race for you. This quest will take you through some of Virginia's great historic landmarks and institutions, as well as its lesser known banjo filled areas, while testing your physical and mental limits. Brilliant codes, ciphers, clues and puzzles await! The winning team will receive the mother of all trophies - the Golden Gnome, a timeless testament to glory and genius and now named in tribute to a man who exemplified both qualities, the late Dr. Randy Pittman.

http://con.puzzlers.org/recouvery The NPL Con is a four-day convention where many of the most puzzle-mad people in the world gather. Most of them are members of the National Puzzlers' League, the world's oldest puzzlers' organization. As members of this nonprofit organization, we've been solving puzzles nonstop since 1883. (Well, not the same people. But you get the idea.)

http://www.midnight-madness.org/ Midnight Madness raises funds for the New York City children’s charity Good Shepherd Services to help at-risk youth achieve their potential. Midnight Madness is open to everyone who can form a team and raise the targeted funds for GSS. Registration is limited and based on fundraising ability, so get in touch soon! Last year’s game raised over $3 million through sponsorships of 30 teams. Teams largely hailed from ten financial institutions in the tri-state area, but participants joined us from the west coast, overseas, and from outside the financial community.
