π Vegout HQ Happenings πWoohoo! Happy grand finale of the year! How has your year been? As I write this, I am slowly withdrawing from the exhilarating triple whammy of November known in my household as Thanksgiving, my partner's birthday, and our 13th anniversary. We also saw the amazing Cirque du Soleil's ECHO show with my in-laws. Super random trivia! Without looking it up online, can you name where Cirque du Soleil is from? a) France b) Canada c) United States This year has been a music-focused year for my partner and I. We had a great run with our band doing live shows all around the San Francisco Bay Area following the release of our new album. The band is now on a short hiatus as I join my choir for holiday concerts and my partner workshops new songs to spice up our future band setlist. With all the excitement, Vegout Voyage has temporarily taken a backseat. Though it's arguably the least business-savvy decision to miss out on all the year-end sales, I'm grateful I get to set my own deadlines. I'd also like to celebrate all of Vegout Voyage's milestones this year with you: from the production and release of Armchair Iceland, to navigating the challenges of tariffs and restrictions with interactive books, which ultimately opened new doors for me to the worlds of handmade crafts and tabletop games. I'm still chugging along with the website redesign as time permits, which includes a new introductory mini-game and some spin-off "side quests." I'm also excited to announce that Vegout Voyage now has its very own branded shipping box! And, drumroll please, you, yas YOU, are the first ones to see it! Did I mention I printed a puzzle directly on the shipping box? I couldn't resist! As always, thank you for being here, for spending time with moi, and for all the Amazon reviews. I wish you happiness and a bright new year. Cheers! π¦ Think you got what it takes to crack the new Mini Voyage? π¦This is the new design that will be printed on future Vegout Voyage gift boxes. Can you decipher the hint and solve the puzzle? π¦ Answers to the previous Mini Voyage π¦ |

βοΈ Think you got what it takes to crack the new Mini Voyage? β°οΈ I thought it'd be fun to play a physical-activity-themed game seeing that many people are out and about around the holiday break (and yes, I am now realizing January might be a tad too late, mea culpa π« ) Based on the clues, match each of the four people to one activity that suits them best.
