What’s happening this weekend

weekly calendarSo there have been a couple of preview posts recently, but this weekend is as busy as any yet seen by this site.

Are you in Norwich? The Knightmare Convention, discussing one of the most beloved children’s puzzle shows in UK TV history, starts today, featuring a hunt very late on Saturday night, which promises to be distressingly cool.

Are you in Wrexham? Saturday sees the Silent State hunt through the town, as part of the European Opera Day celebrations. Tickets are still available, with the ticket page promising “a mixture of puzzles, music, intrigue and theatrical happenings”. Even if the puzzles were dialled down fairly low, this would still promise to be distressingly cool.

Are you in London? If murder mystery is your thing (and if it isn’t, you’re probably lost) then “get ready to explore, puzzle and pun your way through the streets of London” with a door in a wall‘s The Diplomatic Corpse hunt. Tickets are £30 per head for a 4½-hour team game, though twentysomethinglondon have a discount code for Tuesdays. Early reviews seem as positive as you would hope for an event that promises to be distressingly cool.

If any readers go to any of the above, this site would be delighted to feature reviews or reports from any of these events; please send e-mail to the usual address.

Are you far from Wrexham, Norwich and London? It could still be a big weekend! Solvers from all nations are invited to take the two-hour UK Sudoku Championship paper online between now and Monday night – and, if that’s not enough, the World Puzzle Federation’s Sudoku Grand Prix features 90 minutes of puzzles from Japan this weekend. Alternatively, Logic Masters Germany feature the 2½-hour online qualification round of the German puzzle championship this weekend; instructions are available in English, and it’s good practice for the US and UK counterpart puzzle contests of the same length over the next two weekends.
