Well, yes it's still there; at least as of three weeks ago.

IMO the uniqueness of Entros is not the challenge of the games, but the "forced" collaboration of the group in order to win...and the realization that different people bring different types of problem-solving skills to the table. At Entros it seems necessary to utilize a diverse population to maximize the outcome.

And it would be *interesting* to have Extropians adapt the games for a gathering... each randomly grouped team responsible for contributing a game.

Of course, then, there was also the olde Rug Factory for the Halloween extravaganza. Visual disorientation its forte in an Escherian room exponentially enhanced with simple strobe lighting.
