HEINRICH: Hugo! HERE you are! Why haven’t you reported back to the camp?
Everybody’s been LOOKING for you! SEARCH PARTIES are combing the swamp!

HUGO: I heard ’em.
They passed by maybe ten feet away.
Roughly speaking I mean I did not actually MEASURE.

HEINRICH: Well, why didn’t you SAY anything?
HUGO: I just figured ‘live and let live’

HUGO: I did not want to be presumptuous

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
