Messing With Your Head

The rest of Puzzling World included roman public toilets, the Lord of the Rings illusion room, art illusions, following faces, 4D hologram photos, and the leaning tower of Wanaka. Your mind is so easily tricked, but it made me appreciate the fact that the world is so full of wonder and that questioning that same world around you is a really good thing.
















One of my favorite things was the cafe; every table has a few different brainteasers on them to finish off the day. Perfect for enjoying with ice cream or a drink after a long day of having your mind messed with.

Cropool Anyone?

Has anyone ever heard of cropool, or croquet pool? My guess is probably not; Have-A-Shot in Wanaka claims to be the only place in the world that has it! Chris was pretty good at it. For me on the other hand, never having played croquet before, it was a learning experience to say the least.

This is what the "field"(?)/"table"(?) looks like.


And this is how you play:







I'm not sure I'd like to play again, but it was cool experiencing something not many people have.

Has anyone played anything like this before? Or maybe even cropool?
