If you haven't been involved before, we would love for you to join us - it's easy to learn, bloody great fun, and there's potential that we'll all become world famous. =)

So if you can make it, come along for a cuppa tea and some bikkies - check out how it works, and maybe get involved. We'll be setting up from at least half an hour beforehand, and anyone is welcome to give us a hand - then we'll kick off at 2pm.

For those who are definitely coming, please invite anyone else who may be interested - the more people we can get along the better. =)

NOTE: If weather is going to be terrible, we will relocate to the Victoria University Quad - which is fully sheltered from wind and rain!

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 ____ (TBD) Come early at ___(TBD) if you want to learn the history of the lost sport and pick up super sneaky game strategies!

Time and specific location are TBD, I'll update this when I know more details!

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

The Lost Sport of Olympia is a blindfolded labyrinth race, played in ancient times, and then mysteriously banned in 600 BC.

In 2008 AD, the rules of the lost sport have been rediscovered – and now, this summer, teams are training all over the world, from Tokyo to Buenos Aires, Paris to San Francisco, Sao Paulo to London, Singapore to Wellington, New Zealand. Each city hopes to master the game, and to become the world champions of the lost sport!

Now, for the first time in history, the game will be played in Vienna.

Join us in Stadtpark (we're meeting on the Stadtparksteg), Saturday July 5 to discover the secrets of the Lost Sport. It’s free, and it’s easy to learn. Come alone, or come with friends – we’ll put you on a team, and teach you how to play!

WHEN: Saturday 5 July 2008, meet at 15:00, start playing at 15:30

WHERE: Meet on Stadtparksteg, the bridge in Stadtpark that crosses the Weinfluss

Arrive between 15:00 and 15:30 to find out your ancient strength, and to learn secret strategies for the lost sport.

From 15:30 to 16:30, we’ll play the Lost Sport at a secret location nearby. You must arrive by 15:30 to follow us to the secret location! (But if you’re late and have sharp eyes, you might be able to spot us playing nearby…)

WHO: Everyone! All ages and all athletic abilities are welcome. You don’t have to be naturally athletic to be good at this game. It mostly requires trust, collaboration, listening, and most importantly courage!
