The Pick of the Day is one Sansar experience which I highlight for you to visit.

Sansar Pick of the Day: Ebucezam

Ebucezam won second prize in the recently completed Sansar Labyrinth contest. The Sansar experience, created by Tron, consists of a huge cube-shaped maze:

Elevators located at various spots take you up from one level to another. Along the way, you collect crystals of various colours which allow you to operate more of the elevators.

This is a confusing maze! Despite my many efforts to follow every passage, the pink crystal eluded me, and I could not complete this puzzle. Maybe you’ll have better luck?

Sansar Pick of the Day: Beat Blocks

Beat Blocks is music creation experience created by GranddadGotMojo, which allows you to easily build a music track using blocks (hence the name). According to the instructions that GranddadGotMojo placed on GitHub:

Beat Blocks is an experience in Sansar where you can do you own Live DJing. You can create music by adding beats to build up a song. The main component for building up a song is the Beat Block. A Beat Block is a 1/2 meter cube that is initially stored on shelves that are in the Sample Warehouse. These shelves are on the right hand side when you enter the Experience. Each Beat Block contains a sample which is basically a short recording of music. Examples of samples are drum beats, bass lines, guitar riffs, keyboard riffs, lead riffs, pads, risers, etc. All the basics of modern Electronic Music. There are over 400 Beat Blocks and corresponding samples in the Techno Experience using Beat Blocks. These samples are arranged on Shelves by Instrument Type. There is a shelf for Drums, Bass, Guitar & Keyboard Instruments, Leads & Vocals, Effects and Pads (Strings and Ambiance).

Essentially, you pick blocks from the supermarket-like shelves on your right, and place them on special shelves on the left in order to activate them. It’s very easy to use!

Here is an 11-minute YouTube video that GranddadGotMojo created to explain in more detail how Beat Blocks works:

Next to the spot where you assemble techno tracks is a spacious dance floor, where your friends can dance to the grooves you create! Beat Blocks is great fun, and I would encourage you to visit this Sansar experience and try it out for yourself.

Sansar Pick of the Day: Horizon Maze

Horizon Maze is a maddening maze created by Ecne, a Sansar experience which won third prize in the Sansar Labyrinth Contest. The puzzle looks rather simple at first, but is actually quite difficult to solve. It consists of a two-level maze, made up of three separately rotating concentric circles:

Your goal is to start from the perimeter of the maze, and make it all the way to the golden cup in the centre. Each of the rotating sections of the maze has openings which allow you to jump from one circle to the next at certain times. Sometimes you encounter a flight of stairs to take you up or down.

The trick is to keep the design of the maze in your head as you try to select the passages that will eventually lead to your prize. There are many dead-ends which means you need to retrace your steps. Good luck!

Sansar Pick of the Day: The Secret of Mount Shasta

Today’s pick of the day is the grand prize winning Sansar experience created by Abramelin Wolfe, called The Secret of Mount Shasta.

You start off on a snowy mountain, where the winter winds howl and a deserted campsite is found next to the entrance of a cave. A note near one of the tents describes a search to find the Lemurian Ascended Masters that live deep inside Mount Shasta, and warns of danger ahead.

Inside the cave, you must navigate a labyrinth and solve cleverly constructed puzzles to get, step by step, to the goal of your quest. I regret to report that I spent an hour, but failed to get past one of the tests in the middle of the maze. With every failure, you are teleported back to the spawn point to start over again (although the previously solved puzzles seem to remain solved when you pass them a second time).

I can certainly see why the judges picked this as the winner of the US$5,000 first prize! The Secret of Mount Shasta is wonderfully fun to play and fiendishly difficult to solve. Congratulations, Abramelin!
