the San Francisco Bay Area and the Seattle Area. It is one of the most noteworthy of the modern puzzlehunts, in that its teams pile into vans rigged with power and internet access and drive hundreds of miles from puzzle site to puzzle site. Along the way, teams have to overcome often outrageous physical and mental challenges, usually with no sleep.

Game founder Joe Belfiore famously described the Game as "'the ultimate test for Renaissance men and women".
