Welcome to The Game 2011!
The Game is shrouded in secrecy, but it is truly a not-to-be-missed activity that all graduate students are welcome to play. Teams (which are a mix of new and current graduate students) are given a series of clues to solve, leading them around campus to the final destination, at which there is a pizza party.
