An ongoing part of the stack is "The Claw", a supersize replica of the game often found at cheap 24 hour restaurants and run-down arcades. Solomon's entire room was transformed into a sea of prizes to be won by the skilled operator of The Claw.
Eugene takes the plunge for an exposed prize...
...and snags it.
The group struggles in frustration.
Marching off the next task -- Smirnoff Ice in hand.
At the next task, the group tries to piece together some clues at the entrance to the famous Steam Tunnels of Caltech.
Map in hand, the search begins.
Descending into the depths of the tunnels.
Navigating the windy, asbestos-laden corridors can prove to be a challenge.
Getting a bit crowded in here.
At the next stop, the goal is to clobber a pinata of one of Mario's mortal enemies, while standing on a bridge over lava... except where's the pinata?
Maybe the map offers more insight.
Another group is sighted.
Searching for that pesky pinata.
Searching...
Debating...
Finally found it.
Jackie takes a wack at it...
...and knocks it to the floor -- oops.
Re-hanging.
Helen prepares to take a shot.
Eugene doles out a wallop.
"Duck hunt", our next task, recreates the classic Nintendo shootout with a real BB gun.
Matt Patterson takes aim.
I reload...
...and take aim. That Boy Scout training finally comes in handy.
