If you want to listen to the This American Life episode about the Mystery Hunt (in which the voices of several people I know appear, but mine does not), the podcast is available here. The segment on the Mystery Hunt begins about 30 minutes in and ends around minute 45.
My favorite quote: "My mentor came to me and said, 'Dave, we have to talk.' He said, 'Uh, Dave? Um, you’re using too many literary allusions in your casual speech, and people are complaining.'”
Also,
dalryaug posted links to some of the bad Wordplay sequels (thanks, Nathan!):
Colon Inflating Rhinoceri: the cat one, agreed by most to be the best.
Setec Astronomy: meet the Tyler Hinman of the word search world.
Left Out: sort of the same idea as ours, but ours was better.
ACME: The Making of a Champion.
I really wish we'd filmed ours. :/
