The Great All-Nighter was a game inspired by the movie Midnight Madness. Teams worked together to solve challenging puzzles. A puzzle's solution led you to the next location where you could find the next puzzle - sometimes your team had to do a little thinking there too. The chain continued until the finish line on the Brooklyn Bridge. The game was grueling but extremely fun.

The Great All-Nighter was held on Saturday, May 7th, 2005. It started at 9pm in City Hall Park in Manhattan. The winning team finished at around 11am on Sunday. I worked with two friends to design and run the game.

Puzzles ranged from the usual paper-based ciphers to physically taxing tasks like determining the spices in a really gross concotion posing as an actual product in an open-all-night shop to social challenges like asking to buy tickets to a non-existent movie at a major theater to deciphering complicated spatial relationships in plazas and the Vietnam Vet Memorial. Teams even had to take an incoming phone call from a pay phone guarded by a bum!
