+Team Tigger International Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Since we paid the place a visit this past weekend we thought we would tell the rest of you how it went . It was FANTASTIC , the exhibit itself is fun and very hands on . So when it comes to a place near you I highly reccomend the trip to see it ! We would like to thank Groundspeak , and everyone involved for bringing this great Exhibit to everyone ! Here is the link to the Exhibit :GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit When you complete the maze you even get a new icon . They also had an event for geocachers as well as the grand opening of the maze , Jeremy , Shauna , and Bryan of Groundspeak attended. To view logs for the event itself just click the next nearest to the Maze Exhibit. Star Quote Link to comment
Guyute1210 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Sounds like a great time, but is this the only one, or are there other exhibits in the US? Quote Link to comment
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The Psychic Cacher and I will second what Star said, it was a great exhibit! And I'll repeat what I said in another thread: Educational, fun, and entertaining. We equated it to a combination puzzle/multi cache on steroids. Congratulations to Shauna for a job well done! My guess, and it's just that, is that the exhibit will travel. It was hosted in a 2,500 sq ft room and the exhibit is quite extensive. Maybe TBTB will chime in here and let us know if there are any future plans. Would be neat to see it make appearances at Mega events too.

+sTeamTraen Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Is it officially known by its initials (GAME) ? Quote Link to comment
+Maingray Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Any pics? Can't get my head around how this looks! Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 The GPS Adventures Maze is one hands-on exhibit that features GPS technology - its history, current uses and future possibilities; it simulates geocaching by leading visitors through a 2,500 square foot maze rich with interactive experiences. It hopes to travel. View the "GAME" gallery. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I also posted some public photos on Flickr It is a traveling maze exhibit. There's an area on GPSMaze.com that has a place to request the exhibit in your own town. We're definitely looking for new venues after September. Yes, even international. If it is popular enough we can create more than one exhibit though there are one of a kind items in the first maze. GAME? I like it Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very cool exhibit. If at all possible you should stop and check it out. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 It is a very nice exhibit and also a lot of fun. I threw a few pictures onto my myspace page. They are kind of silly ones though. Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 are there other exhibits in the US? If you would like to suggest a venue for the exhibit, please visit http://www.gpsmaze.com/location_request.html and select a venue near you. Quote Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Speaking of upcoming venues, I see on this page that the exhibit will be moving to a place known as "Cranbrook Institute" in September fall 2008. Where exactly is it? A google search turned up a museum in Michigan... is this the one? edit: should have read the page I linked to a little closer. 2008 is still a ways off.

+Snoogans Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Is there anything a local community can do to attract this exhibit? I think the Houston metro community at large would be thrilled to have it here. I've always wanted an excuse to talk to Robert Bakker, our local museum curator. Let me know what I can do to help.

+FamilyDNA Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What are you doing on July 20? Now you've got me curious, but the link won't work. Unpublished cache when not logged in. Error when I am logged in. Waiting for the website fix... Quote Link to comment

A lot of cachers already planning on heading this way for GW6. Quote Link to comment
