Puzzles
We on Floorpi really like doing puzzles. We participate in lots of puzzle hunts, including Mystery Hunt, Dash, BAPHL, and PANDA Magazine. Many on hall also enjoy playing trivia games (Sporcle, Quiz Bowl) and doing logic puzzles (US Puzzle Championship, Nikoli, Logic Masters India).

Mystery Hunt
Floorpi has competed in Mystery Hunt for many years, often joined by friends of hall. Hunting usually takes place in the lounges and residents' rooms, and certain people (such as User:ianosb) have been known to stay awake for an absurd length of time during hunt. Our most recent hall teams were named "✈✈✈Galactic Trendsetters✈✈✈" (2013), "Occupy Leisure Station" (2012), and "Desert Catbus" (2011).
There have historically been a fairly significant number of Mathcampers on hall, and they often hunt with Manic Sages, who won in 2012 and wrote the 2013 hunt. In 2013, a number of hall members also hunted with Palindrome, placing 2nd.
