The Games, as in plurals of "The Game"
Saturday, November 03, 2007

Just a bunch of links to games that are big, intense, competitive, urban, cross-disciplinary:

  • Challenger World - big-ass 4-day running, kayaking, puzzle solving, team based, charitable events, but out in the country, innit
  • Rat Race is a cross-discipline urban chase, mostly physical stuff
  • The Go Game is way more lighthearted and creative
  • Area/Code make Big Urban Games but do more mobile stuff now
  • Journey To The End Of The Night is basically a race with an added stealthy "avoiding the catchers" element.
  • Game Control compiles some of the big ambitious 24-hour games in American cities, very much by-geeks-for-geeks, big entry fees, super hard puzzles, but massive WOW factor, especially Shelby Logan's Run, though no updates since 2002....
  • Wow, lots more of the above on Wikipedia and here
  • Also, Microsoft Puzzle Hunt
  • City Chase is a big 4 to 6 hour urban race with puzzley elements
