Metagame 2025

Metagame 2025 ran for three days at Lighthaven. The whole con was one large megagame: players were split onto the purple and orange teams, solved puzzles hidden in and on their swag to unlock team headquarters, then spent the weekend competing in various subgames and sidequests to battle for territory across campus and level-up their personal player stats. Meanwhile, other attendees learned how to construct crosswords, built an escape room from scratch, solved human sudokus, and played every flavor of LARP under the sun.
