SL is all about doing what you can’t do IRL (in real life), like: putting on a pair of anti-gravity shoes and exploring one of the moons of Lyra Prime. This is going to be fun and easy, even for beginner spacewalkers. So wear something comfortable for walking upside down and come join the fun!

Builders and Guessers Welcome! Prim Quiz is the SL version of pictionary, but rather than drawing a sketch of something, you have to build it with prims! A willing builder will be given the name of something to build. If you are a new builder you can still take part as you can guess and then pass the building part onto someone else! Come have some fun with us!
