More Links

In addition to Puzzle Parties, "Puzzle Hunts" of various sorts are also popular (at least within the über-geekdom world). I, myself, participated in the 2005 Microsoft (Las Vegas themed) Puzzle Hunt. One of the eldest ones is the one put on at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Though my Parties are much lesser endeavours, all of these things belong to the same "Puzzle Event" genre.

BANG 14 (I helped playtest this one)

Even More Puzzly Stuff

PERPLEXCITY, an "alternate reality game" that is impressive in scope, fun, and marketability.
