Come and Getty

Last week, on Thursday July 7, I arranged a trip to the Getty Institute for the conventioners of the National Puzzlers' League. From what everyone was telling me, a good time was had by all. I'm not that surprised by that. What I am surprised by is the amount of people who were impressed by the puzzle handout I created for the event. I had thought that it was a minor little thing that would help direct people to different places around the museum. But people have been very, well, impressed.

I've made the handout available here. If you were to take this to the Getty today, all puzzles would be solvable except for puzzle E.

I'm going to be writing up my notes on the puzzles soon, once I can figure out how best to organize them.

Personally, I was impressed because the puzzles were fun but not difficult, involved different types of solving, and led to many different parts of the center without requiring a huge amount of walking. In addition, the Getty Center was just cool as it was, and the puzzle handout was geared toward both a relaxed trip around the center while solving and allowed plenty of time for browsing after.

Some of the puzzles and the reveals for their locations were awesome as well. The anainstruction reveal blew me away.
