I hinted in an earlier post about some changes going into the game this year. I've already mentioned that we are going with a single round of 1 hour and 50 minutes. The game will support 40 simultaneous people this year, which is double our usual capacity. We've also gone with the same number of obstacles/goals/puzzles so people won't feel as pressured as before.

We are throwing in things that we have done in the past but are putting new spins on them. One thing we are making sure to do this year is to get more of an interaction between the staff and the players. The staff are no longer just judges but are fictitious people involved in the storyline whom you can try to social engineer information out of. Doing so may get you an answer to something but it will not get you a point for it, so use it only as a last resort.

There's a lot more in store for this game so remember to come prepared for anything (and I do mean anything).
