There is an event called "The Game" that's been going on for a number of years. It has evolved into a 24+ hour contest where teams compete against each other by solving puzzles, looking for clues, and doing some very unique things along the way. Eric rounded up a team of players from Amazon.com, which became Team White in the vQuest 2000 competition. We ended up in last place, but would definitely try competing again!
