WHAT IS IT? The Lost Sport of Blindfolded Labyrinth Running! It's a ton of fun!!!

NO SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS IT?
The ancient Greeks banned it, but we’re playing it anyway!

2000 years ago, the ancient Greeks played a game they called simply "The Labyrinth." Until recently, little has been known about the mysterious sport - only that it required the athletes to be blindfolded, and that eventually it was banned from their Olympics games. Now, the rules for the lancient abyrinth have been rediscovered - and for the first time in modern history, the world will learn to play the Labyrinth again.

You don’t need to be an athlete to master this lost sport - it mostly requires trust, courage, and collaboration.

Come learn the sport and participate in a labyrinth race - or just come to watch, as The Lost Sport of Olympia is rediscovered in New York City.

Play the game at 1pm on the Embarcadero to the East of the Amtrak Building on Pier 2. Come early at Noon if you want to learn the history of the lost sport and pick up super sneaky game strategies!

Once you’re initiated into the secrets of the human labyrinth, Team San Francisco is racing against other teams who are training in New Zealand, Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, Zurich, Madrid, London, and more!
