Ari selects a variety of piano music played by some of the finest contemporary musicians in the world. Dance, chat, or multitask while you listen along with us.

An initiative to explore the healing properties of music and sounds - inspired by Ari's relaxing and uplifting piano events.

Come join us after Ari's - to meditate, do some tai chi or yoga, dance or just relax.
You can also use this time to do chores in RL, work or study - while AFK at our Chill garden.  Or you might want to do yoga poses in RL, sit in meditation, paint, or write a poem.

Come enjoy the chill with us!

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
