Howie: Martha! It’s lovely to see you again. / Martha: Why, if it isn’t Howie, come crawling back to me!
Howie: Gosh, it’s been ages, hasn’t it? / Martha: Why, I haven’t seen you since… Since…
Martha: …since you left me for that tramp standing behind you! / Howie: Right, of course! The one that I like better than you.

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!
