Hitori
A logic puzzle on a numbered grid: shade cells so no number repeats unshaded in any row or column, no two shaded cells touch, and the unshaded cells stay connected.
KenKen
A grid puzzle that combines Sudoku's no-repeat rows and columns with bold-outlined "cages" of cells that must combine, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, to a printed target number.
Kakuro
A numeric grid puzzle, part crossword and part sudoku, where you fill cells with digits 1-9 so each run adds up to the sum shown in its shaded clue cell — and no digit repeats within a run.
Scanwords
A crossword variant where each clue sits printed right inside its own answer cells instead of a separate numbered list, so words interlock in a chain rather than the classic black-and-white grid.
Japanese Crosswords
A picture logic puzzle where number clues along each row and column tell you how many cells to fill in — solve them correctly and a hidden image emerges from the blank grid.
Ice Yachting
Sail a wind-powered blade craft across frozen lakes at breathtaking speed — ice yachting turns hard black ice into a racetrack, letting a small sail and three steel runners push riders far faster than any boat on open water.
Crayfishing
Set baited traps in a lake or river at dusk and haul them up after dark to see what crawled in — crayfishing rewards patience with a hands-on catch that traditionally ends in a communal feast.
Mushroom Picking
Wander forest floors with a basket and knife, scanning leaf litter for edible mushrooms — a quiet autumn ritual that sharpens identification skills and rewards patience with a haul for the kitchen.
This activity is intended for adults. Please confirm that you are 18 years of age or older to see such activities.
Cigar Tasting
Sample hand-rolled cigars from different regions and wrapper types in a relaxed lounge setting, learning to read the band, cut, and light each one — often paired with whiskey or rum.
