TL;DW: It was a complete catastrophe which unsurprisingly lead to its abrupt shut down. The promise for the hotel was a two day event of "interactive storytelling" and escape-room-esque activities in a luxury environment; instead, the interactivity never seemed to work, the activities were boring even to children (when they were functional), and a tiny room with bunk beds certainly didn't justify the $6,000+ price tag.

Since no one else will, here it is to ruin the fun:

Lol was this before or after he crushed the rail workers strike? Pretty funny that the most "left" thing you can attribute to Biden is performative bullshit while he has actively worked on behalf of capital to limit workers' actions. What level of "left" does that make him?

Biden has been president for 4 years. Can you give me exactly one (1) thing that he's done for the left in that time period?

I thought it was like a meme but it's literally a still from the interview. That's the CTO of OpenAI saying she's not sure what data was used to train the models lmao.

If the democratic party was at all interested in the opinion of the general public (which includes you and me), they would at least run some primaries and go through the motions of a western liberal democracy. Instead, they've decided to rerun 2020 on the hope that the bold message of "He's not Trump" will work again.

The election is in eleven months - if Biden loses the fault lands squarely on the democrats for covering their ears and saying "lalalala" any time someone suggests maybe actually doing something resembling democracy. Or hey you can continue to pre-blame the left for an election that hasn't happened yet and accuse us of actually being conservatives, certainly that will convince us to line up behind Genocide Joe.

 

Here's the site for the puzzle hunt: https://www.timehop.com/greathalloweenpuzzlehunt. Getting them all right puts you in the running for $100 so hopefully a hexbear (or 3!) gets it in the end.

Each puzzle resolves with a 5 letter solution, in this case all part of a spooky halloween theme. I have solved 4 of the 6, but could use some help with the other two.

Here are the solutions I've found:

#1The key here is seeing the little 'P', 'B', '1', and '4' under some of the moons. The "14" especially gives away that you are supposed to transpose the message on the card onto the moons starting with the top left. (The 'B' in "celebration" ends up being off by one space but they've made little mistakes like that before.) To find the 5 letter word, take the letter from each full moon and spell out:
spoiler #1 answer SCARE :::

#2Pretty obvious imo, take the word said during each of the flashes in the video and add them to the grid design in the bottom right, starting from the middle and working counter clockwise. The word is then in the vertical shaded section.
spoiler #2 answer RAVEN :::

#4The key here is in the little dots found on the cards first and second pages. Choose a color and start with the single dot, then connect that to the cluster of two dots of the same color, then the cluster of three, etc. until there aren't any more of the same color to connect. Each drawn figure is a letter (for instance, the black dots form an 'E'). To figure out the correct order of the letters to form the word, arrange the letters in the order that the colors appear in the poem.
spoiler #4 answer COVEN :::

#6This ones a pigeon cipher, looking at the 4 pictures shows a set of letters on the pumpkin. These can be listed out in order as 'LENTGAHI'. We can fill this out in the pigeon key already provided, starting with N in the top left and moving through the list clockwise. Then we use the code to find the answer.
spoiler #6 answer NIGHT :::

~~#3 and #5 are still eluding me, so I if anyone wants to share a solution that'd be awesome.~~

Comrade HumanBehaviorByBjork solved #3, now #5 is the only one unsolved.

 

It's a show where a group of office workers have their memories surgically separated between their work and personal lives. It's like sci-fi/mystery/anti-work horror and unambiguously portrays the megacorporation as torturing their employees. So basically as anticapitalist a product could be coming from a trillion dollar phone company.

The first season just ended and set up what should be an equally thrilling second season, so check it out friends.
