Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, to the 77th annual Humour Games!

In this Hunger Games and Improv mashup, you will nobly volunteer to join one of four districts. The districts will then be set a series of tasks and trials, in which they compete to earn vital Credits.

Mixing traditional improv games, creative art challenges, and intriguing puzzles, The Humour Games provides a way for everyone to contribute to their district’s success.

Test your wits as you navigate the various twists and turns that will unfurl throughout this year’s, The Humour Games.

Brought to you by the creator of the award winning Super Alex, the immersive Operation: Sentinel, and part of the team behind Neil Patrick Harris’ Murder Mystery at Canyon Ranch.

May your oddness be ever in your favour.
