Minnebar 19 POAP
Minnebar 19 is coming up this Saturday and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create a special Minnebar 19 POAP token for folks at the event to get and commemorate the event! I did a POAP for Minnebar 17 two years ago.
For this POAP I reached out to Meg Steuer at Minnestar and she was kind enough to share the graphics that are being used for the t-shirts. It was a super cool shirt and after consider it for a bit it worked absolutely perfect for an animated image. I’m loving this loop!
I have several hundred tokens loaded on three different POAP NFC discs that will be placed around the event. Just bring your phone near the disc and tap the center — you’ll get directed to a link to mint your token!
If you want to get ready for the day, download the POAP Home app to be ready for iOS and Android. Using this app you can also upload photos from the event to POAP Memories to share with others that hold the same token.
I’ll also be sharing my You Met Me POAP as well as a one for my How to Newsletter Session.

Minnebar 19 "How to Newsletter" Session POAP
I made a special POAP just for folks that attend my How to Newsletter session at Minnebar 19! If you join this session I’ll have a NFC card in the room you can tap to add this fun one to your collection!
We Met at Minnebar 19 POAP
Are you going to be at Minnebar 19 this Saturday? Come and introduce yourself and I’d love to share my You Met Jamie Thingelstad at Minnebar 19 POAP token with you! I’ll have it loaded on my IYK card easily redeemed with a tap.
We wrapped up our weekend by watching Dog with some delicious Calico Popcorn made with ghee. Great movie and touching story. 🍿
Finished 1.66 mile walk in 40.4 minutes (24.34 min/mile). Casual walk with Lucky around the neighborhood. Minnehaha Creek is very low. 🚶♂️
The Anomaly at Puzzleworks
We (just barely) completed “The Anomaly” at Puzzleworks today. This is the newest room they have — just opening up about a month ago. Yes we were here just yesterday to do The Dungeon. 😊
This newest room had some new dynamics.
- The room was divided into three segments with 20 minutes to complete each segment. If you finish the segment before that you get a time bonus. If you don’t have it finished in 20 minutes they clue you to the answer and move you to the next room. We finished the first room with a few minutes to spare. The 2nd and 3rd rooms we finished with just seconds left.
- Each of the rooms were puzzle heavy. There was only one single lock in the whole experience. The puzzles worked well to handle in parallel. We had five people but eight could easily be engaged.
- The experience was interactive with a computer. So as you completed things you put them into the computer and worked through a menu system. That was cool and worked well.
- Given the way the clock worked you don’t just get a time — you get a score based on how you did. We scored 63,550 which actually put us in 17th position on the top 20 leaderboard.
It was a little odd to us that the game didn’t have a final time since that is how all previous 67 rooms we’ve done have operated. We have done a couple of rooms with a point system, but it was always in addition to the clock. The puzzles were challenging and the experience worked extremely well. Definitely a great room and a fun, new experience. Room 68!
Schooling the next generation on Air Hockey.
Created the designs for three different POAPs for Minnebar 19 next week. Have a very cool one for the event, made a special one just for my session, and of course a You’ve Met Me one to share at Minnebar!
