Banks, Heists, and Puzzles | Puzzalot

http://www.puzzalot.com/wordpress/2013/09/06/banks-heists-and-puzzles.html

Stuff about, you know, puzzles. Banks, Heists, and Puzzles. Escape from the Bank. Is the newest real life escape game. Im kind of excited about this. It may be a coincidence, but at the end of Escape from the Mysterious Room. They asked for feedback and suggestions for new escape games and I suggested escaping from a bank vault. Maybe they took my suggestion or got it from somebody else. Either way, it sounds cool. I suggested escaping from a bank vault requires an explanation thats a little more in-depth.

Is the BANG dead? (No really!) | Puzzalot

http://www.puzzalot.com/wordpress/2014/01/14/is-the-bang-dead-no-really.html

Stuff about, you know, puzzles. Is the BANG dead? I think I mentioned somewhere (apparently not here) that the Burninators. 2011 run of BANG 28. Was so good, it pretty much killed the Bay Area Night Game. Originally, this was my way of paying compliment to all the hard work and incredible design the Burninators had put into their BANG, and that it would be hard, if not impossible, to top. It was not intended as a prediction of things to (not) come. The Different Area Same Hunt. The Berkley Mystery Hunt.
