Agents set out from Little Beer Quarter for October's Wellington First Saturday, following a mission through the laneways of central Te Aro. The route wound from Edward Street through Dixon, Eva and Egmont Streets, across Courtenay Place and into Holland Street, with plenty of Cygnus beacons providing an extra distraction along the way. Some agents also took advantage of the route to collect stamps for Wellington's Craft Beer Capital Trail.

After a cold and windy start, conditions improved towards the end of the afternoon before agents regrouped at Mean Doses. Two levels were gained, one by a Resistance agent and one by an Enlightened agent.

16 agents gathered for September's Wellington First Saturday, with many meeting beforehand at Three Sisters on Blair Street before setting out to explore Waitangi Park and the eastern edge of the CBD. The route showcased a corner of Wellington where heritage façades, theatres, green parkland and the harbour come together in the city's creative heart. A clear early spring afternoon and brisk northerly made for excellent exploring conditions. 7 Resistance and 9 Enlightened agents took part, neutralising 442 portals and capturing 393 before many regrouped afterwards at the Welsh Dragon Bar.

17 agents met at Rogue & Vagabond in Garret Street before heading through the laneways and side streets of central Wellington, finishing at Little Beer Quarter. The route highlighted the city's public art, tucked-away corners and ever-changing street culture while keeping agents busy along the way. 3 levels were gained during the afternoon.

July’s First Saturday took agents to Petone, where the event started at Abandoned Brewery Taphouse before heading along Jackson Street’s Walk of Champions. Between heritage shopfronts and sporting history, 17 agents explored one of the Hutt Valley’s best-known streets. 8 levels were gained as agents earned more than 7.8 million AP, walking a combined 52 km. With an emphasis on clearing and rebuilding the area, agents neutralised 710 portals and captured 700 portals throughout the afternoon.

I built this web app because statistics can be challenging. I wanted my players to have a better sense of how challenging a climb up a 50' cliff would be, when a critical failure results in falling.

Working on the basis that for many skill challenges (such as lock picking, but not climbing) a critical success is 2 successes, and critical failures requiring starting over, this gives an idea how long it may take to open a complex lock, and what the chance of breaking the lock picks might be.
