The ancient Greeks banned it, but we’re playing it anyway!

2000 years ago, the ancient Greeks played a game they called simply "The Labyrinth." Until recently, little has been known about the mysterious sport - only that it required the athletes to be blindfolded and that, eventually, it was banned from their Olympics games. Now the rules for the ancient labyrinth have been rediscovered and, for the first time in modern history, the world will learn to play The Labyrinth again.

You don’t need to be an athlete to master this lost sport - it mostly requires trust, courage, and collaboration.

Come learn the sport and participate in a labyrinth race - or just come to watch.

Once you’re initiated into the secrets of the human labyrinth, Team Essef will be virtually racing against other teams who are training in Wellington, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, Zurich, Madrid, London, and elsewhere.

Play the game at 1:00 pm. Come early at 12:45 pm if you want to learn the history of the lost sport and pick up super sneaky game strategies!

This is the last training event before the Multiverse Olympics on August 23rd when, at 2:30pm PDT, Team Essef will be competing against teams in this universe, as well as other universes. We hope to experience the thrill of victory, rather than the agony of defeat. And if this universe wins--the other universes win too!
