Description

Welcome to ENCOD3D 2.0: The Boxer Games

****While the ENCOD3D 2.0 potluck picnic is associated with The Boxer Games Puzzle Hunt Challenge, you do not have to be a part of the hunt to be a part of this picnic of fun, food, games, and stamps. Anyone is welcome to come - join us and bring a friend! ***

Our event is being held at Pavilion 1. Follow signs to Parking Lot 1 from the main entrance (with Park Office building).


May the odds be ever in your favor!!!!

Following in the demanding footsteps of last year's ENCOD3D event (hosted by Magical Music Man) this event will be a team challenge (team size 3-5 recommended) running for a few weeks before the culminating Game Day on August 23!

Know ahead of time this event challenge will have a board gaming theme. Phase One of The Boxer Games will see several puzzle boxes released in early August in the SEPA region, but only to the teams that have signed up. Teams will earn Victory Points (VPs) for finding these boxes prior to the August 23 gathering at Nockamixon SP and for meeting challenges presented during Phases Two and Three on August 23 (more details to follow).

Bonuses will be awarded for the most creative Team Name and Team Stamp Carves (board game influence will be well regarded) !!!

This ain't no lottery, so if you're looking for an exciting, mildly eevil challenge in Southeast PA, sign up by sending your team name and team member trail names to (RIVERSOL@atlasquest.net) prior to August 1. Please also register individually for this ENCOD3D 2.0 Game Day event. Address General Questions to Love Party of 4. (requests for spoilers may result in game environment cataclysm implementation for your team :P)

This is one event you won't want to miss!

Jul 29, 2014: ENCOD3D 2.0: The Boxer Games Update (29 July 2014)
Attention Boxingjays!

The first Phase of the ENCOD3D 2.0: The Boxer Games is planned for release within the next week! Those boxers named below will gain full access to the clues involved as we begin the 2014 challenge! (so be sure you and your teammates are on the list...send River Sol any corrections)

Current Team Signups are as follows:

The Three Mousetrapteers - Auggie Doggie, Butterflies Are Free,She Shoes
Letterboxers Against Humanity - Keypendragon, Kithpendragon, CozyReader, Mugiwara, IndigoRoses
Did Not Pass Go - Honeybearclan, Sir Braemoor, Aiphid, Sheba
Ticket to Hide- Magical Music Man, Luvable Panda, Caribbean C, and Green Sage
Candy Landers-Anne of Green Gables, Emcsquared, Red Cruzsader, Lotus, and Treasurehonas.
The Parcheesies - placeholder team for any who opt to participate (non-competitively) after launch day

Let it be known, the competition this year will be puzzly to be sure, but we also have designed the boxes and the culminating event to combine many aspects of competitive fun for all. Those who intend to drop in on the gathering can participate as well, even if non-competitively.

In summary:

Phase I will consist of fairly challenging puzzle clues (all based on board games) to challenge your teams over the weeks preceding the August 23 Event.

Phase II will present your team members with the Challenges of Catan, a series of head to head physical competitions to test your team's real-time abilities.

Phase III will consist of the Seven Wonders boxing series to challenge your teams on site with your full letterboxing (de-googled) skill set engaged!

During these phases team prowess will be assessed, points will be assigned, and victors will be crowned! (bonuses/prizes to be awarded as well for best team name, team stamp, and perhaps a few not so random other things)

Stay tuned for the detailed Phase I release announcement!

Your lovable dungeon (box) masters,

Aug 3, 2014: ENCOD3D 2.0 Launch Imminent!
Happy Boxer Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!

This alert has been sent to prime your puzzle solving mindset, and to set a few ground rules!

Tonight you will receive an invite to join the ENCOD3D 2.0 - Boxingjay Group on Atlas Quest. Join as soon as possible. It will be key to you gaining access to the letterboxes.

Tomorrow afternoon the website location and password to launch Phase I of ENCOD3D 2.0 will be emailed to you and posted on the private AQ board.


Primarily have fun! We hope the puzzles and hidden treasure and competition stir up your joyful fervor as much as it did for us last year.

This is a competition. We encourage for the duration of The Boxer Games (through August 23), for teams to work independently. Slackerboxing within your team is obviously fine.

The Boxingjay AQ group board provides a means to communicate with us. This isn't a place to exchange inside information on a clue; however you can post your questions regarding the structure of the games as well as puzzles and the event in general. (we will selectively answer those questions). It is also a place to post friendly taunts to other teams, with emphasis on the word friendly!

We have decided on a scoring structure this year that will support competition through all three phases of the Boxer Games. Teams will be able to earn Victory Points (in keeping with the board game theme) during each phase, thus creating a fair, competitive field throughout the games where any team can mount a comeback. Bonus prizes can be earned by finding bonus boxes, including the previously listed Monopoly and Scrabble boxes, if you choose to go after them.

For scoring, let it be known there will be SEVEN (7) Phase I puzzles/letterboxes. Your team will score Victory Points for your accomplishments! In Phase I you will collect 5 Victory Points for each complete box logged (a series must be found fully; bonus boxes excluded). The team with the most finds will score an additional 5 Victory Points! Scoring for these finds will happen at the event! Bring your journals to check them in officially before 11 am on August 23. A valid box find will be made by presenting the original stamp imprint(s) required to log the box.

Again, if you have any questions post them on the ENCOD3D 2.o Boxingjay Board, and we’ll respond there!

And finally, have fun!!!
