3D Maze is a challenging test of your spatial relations IQ, and is far more bewildering than you expect. Be forewarned: only about one in three people ever finish this fiendishly difficult challenge! To generate the levels for the game, the creator used a technique called "evolutionary computation" (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_computing), a sub-category of artificial intelligence based on Darwin's Theory of Evolution. This unique 3D Maze is open throughout the week and is changed every Sunday night, with new courses and fun and engaging themes! Persevere and exercise your short-term memory as you race up, down and all around. Can you beat the best time? Prize for finishing the maze. See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2jimM2NHk

Join us for cookies and a chat about all things Death.

In our society, Death had become a topic that no-one talks about. The word was whispered and Death was put into an dark, dusty attic that would not be touched if need not be. That way, it often hits in a shock when we encounter it in our lives or the lives of those close to us. The idea is to take the topic out of the closet. These days, with the reality of Death so obvious in our lives, we need to talk about it all the more.

That is the idea of Death Cafes. Chat about Death. Make it more natural, and thus ease the dealing with it. Share stories, ideas, questions. Eat (virtual) cookies and add your piece of cake. Talk, share and maybe even laugh.
