SUMMARY:Puzzled Pint
DESCRIPTION:Puzzled Pint is a monthly puzzle tradition running around the world for 15 years\, in London for over 12 and in Brighton since February. \nImagine a team pub quiz but replace all the questions with puzzles: word puzzles\, picture puzzles\, logic puzzles\, ciphers\, figure-the-rules-out puzzles\, maybe some physical puzzles. Then dial the competitiveness right down; hints are free and teams’ performances are not explicitly compared – game control will make sure that everyone gets to see and solve all the puzzles they want to. \nTeams are typically 3-4\, but there’s no restriction either way\, and will typically take somewhere around two hours\, to get through the puzzles; they’re just difficult enough to be interesting… even if you’ve been drinking a bit. \nAt Strange Games Festival\, we’ll rerun an old set of puzzles that previously proved popular. Maybe you’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll want to check out future months’ sets\, on the second Tuesday of every month in nine UK towns from Winchester to Edinburgh – see https://puzzledpint.org/ for details. \n  \n  \n[Note: please bring chairs if you would like them as this marquee is set up as tables only during the day]

SUMMARY:Mega SPIES - Role Assignment Open
DESCRIPTION:What’s this? One of the biggest games of the festival…JUST GOT BIGGER?! \nWanna make some new friends? This is the perfect Ice-Breaker to talk about random stuff with random people! \nIn Mega SPIES\, you sign up for the game in the morning and then go off and enjoy the festival\, at any time in which you encounter another spy\, strike up a conversation and see if you can gain some intel or complete a mission.\nYou have the whole day to try and gather as much Intel as you can. \nCollect your roles and badges from Nicky in the Arena between 10am-12pm\nFull rules explanation and briefing on the stage in the Arena at 11am – Not compulsory but advised. \nWinners announced at the all hands meeting on Monday at 1pm on the Arena \n  \nYou need a phone to be able to play SPIES \nAll players must be signed up before 12pm to take part \nThe game itself will last from 12pm-12am\, but you do not need to be an active participant all throughout. \nYou should wear your SPIES badge during the whole day (You may take it off for short periods if you do not wish to be bothered by other SPIES) \nPlease return your badge to the stage at some point before or at the all hands meet on the Monday \n————————————————————-\nWhat is SPIES?\nYou find yourself at the International Espionage Society’s yearly convention for the world’s greatest Spies. Time is short\, so you need to mingle and get as much Intel from them as possible. Don’t worry\, you’re not alone on this mission\, you just don’t know who else the agency sent in…Thankfully\, due to budget cuts\, you’ll likely have the same Pseudonym. \nThe Secret Pseudonyms of the International Espionage Society (SPIES for short) is a Mega Social Wordplay game for 20+ Players. \nThe main theme surrounding this game is to strike up conversations with fellow Spies\, dropping hints to your Pseudonym to work out if you’re in the same Agency. \nBe the Agency with the most Intel from collecting Data and completing Missions \nCome join the discord to learn more and find out about when/where games are being run:\nhttps://discord.com/invite/zwDJxGWYe5
