Part II · The feel

How it feels

The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.

The room

Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.

Quiet expectedUnpredictable volume

The crowd

Designed for 3–6 people. Good group-of-friends territory.
