[edit] WELCOME TO THE BIG EXPERIMENT!
The Big Experiment is a collection of tournaments and other events at Origins organized by and for the fans of Looney games. Thanks for joining us!
In the Big Experiment room, we play Looney Labs games. Our main focus is on our Official Annual Tournaments, with prize medallions up for grabs. There are usually two different Tourney events happening at any given time (not counting Floating Tourney games, which happen randomly throughout).
[edit] TICKETS OR A RIBBON?
You Must Have One Or The Other
Think of our Lab as being like a little amusement park. You can use a ticket every time you go on one of the rides, or you can buy a Big Experiment ribbon, add it to your badge, and then play as much as you want and never worry about tickets!
[edit] DEMO TABLES
For those needing to learn our games, we have two official demo locations: our booth in the exhibit hall and the demo zone in the Lab. You can play for free in the booth but space there is very limited; games at the demo table in the Lab require generic tickets. (If you have a ribbon, you can play in the Lab anytime!)

Floating tournaments start whenever you jump in - you can play as many games as you want. Score sheets will be on hand for reporting official results to the Tournament Director. Your total score goes up when you win, and down when you lose. Special ribbons will help you identify your competitors. Results of the Floating Tournaments will be announced on Sunday Afternoon at 1 PM.
