Who’s playing?
Use your first name and last initial, and type it the same way every time. That’s how the board keeps your score if you reload or switch phones.
Wordle
Six tries to find the five-letter word. Clinical, not coastal.

0:00A criss-cross of the Avalon and the OR. Your time is your score.

The Crossword
Full size, Monday difficulty. No checks and no hints. Submit once, and every square you got right counts.
There’s no clock on this one. Fill in what you can, then submit. Answers lock when you submit.
Trivia Ladder
Anesthesia, Newfoundland and the retreat itself. Answer as many as you like. Right answers add points, wrong ones cost half as much.
Keep-Ups
Tap the ball to kick it up. Tap off-centre to send it sideways. Don’t let it hit the ground. Play as often as you like; your best run counts.
2048
Swipe to slide every tile. Two matching tiles merge into one. Play as many games as you like; your biggest tile ever counts.
Archery
Land a headshot on the stick man to steal a point from whoever is in first place. He sways, and wind, distance and height change every arrow. Unlimited arrows. Get passed, and you can shoot back.
Shame Shop
For the bottom half of the board. Trade your dignity for points. Everything you buy shows on your avatar on the leaderboard for the rest of the retreat.
