<p>Bwahahahaha – I know what it is, but I can’t tell you. But you can now play a text adventure game, created by <a href="https://eblong.com/zarf/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Andrew Plotkin</a>, which will give you hints. Remember <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adventure</a>?</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>You really shouldn’t have wandered away from your tour guide. The gleam of glass in a deserted room caught your eye for just a moment… but with that mob of chattering tourists out of sight, the MakerBot facility doesn’t seem quite as friendly as it did a moment ago.</em></p>
<p><em>Servos hiss behind you — but that’s not the guidebot’s cheery mask looming out of the shadows. It’s a security bot! You’re in trouble now. You duck into the laboratory. Or is it a showroom? Test chamber? You pull the door shut; hopefully you can hide out until the robot has passed.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>No maze of twisty little passages here. Just a big scary security robot. I just played it for a while – it’s awesomely fun. I expect <a href="https://www.sethlevine.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Seth Levine</a> and <a href="https://paul.kedrosky.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Paul Kedrosky</a> will get sucked in this afternoon and it’ll cause Paul to need to buy a MakerBot to print out the pieces in game.</p>
<p>I’ll see you at CES if you are going to be there. And keep your eyes on the <a href="https://www.makerbot.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MakerBot</a> site for some cool new things.</p>
