Crazy John 29.4.
Wappu is soon here and, with it, the highly anticipated Crazy John event!
Two days before Wappu, on the night of the 29th of April, after the sun has set on the Fuksipeijaiset, Otaniemi is filled with riveting Wappu action as the Crazy John (Hullu Jussi) event starts! This year, each team collects stamps from checkpoints (kind of like in a pub crawl) to earn the official Crazy John overall badge! The number of overall badges that you receive is determined by the number of checkpoints you have visited. People who have visited 5 checkpoints get one badge, 10 checkpoints earn you two badges, and if you have visited more than 15 checkpoints, you will get three badges! The badges are linked to one another, so you should definitely try to get all three. In addition to the overall badges, the team with the best attitude and spirit is rewarded ceremoniously with a Wappu basket during the Declaration of the Wappu Frenzy! So be quick when completing the checkpoints, but also remember to keep your spirits high!
Crazy John starts with the Great Launch of the Mystical Yöjäynä at 9pm in the Alvari Square. In the Great Launch the whole community is able to cheer their representative teams to their nightly adventure. After the Great Launch the participants of Crazy John can start their own adventure through Otaniemi.
The fun doesn’t stop after visiting the checkpoints, however, because Pelmu is organizing the official afterparty, the Wappu Festival! The event is free and open to all.
So gather yourself a team of 4-10 people and claim your spot in this crazy adventure around Otaniemi! You don’t need to have a team assembled beforehand: you can pick up the checkpoint sheet in front of the AYY Central Office on the same day after the Fuksispeksi.
If you think you’ve already visited enough checkpoints during the years and have had your fill, you should definitely come and hold a checkpoint yourself! If your group of friends or association has an idea and the passion to organize a checkpoint, let us know through the link below by the 25th of April:

Crazy John is worth experiencing just for the fantastic prizes! Each active participant will be awarded at least one overall badge, and the best checkpoint and the team with the best spirit are both rewarded with awesome Wappu baskets as well as a bus ride to Ullanllinanmäki on Wappu Eve on the 1st of May. The keepers of the best checkpoint are also awarded a free AYY rentable sauna space for one day (has to be used by the end of the year).
The winners will be declared from the roof of Smökki during the Declaration of the Wappu Frenzy on the 30th of April

Humans vs Zombies Otaniemi 10.-12.5.
The set is ready, the props are on point, just missing one crucial thing… We’re recruiting the freshest talents to join our crew in the making of the next big full-length zombie feature film! Are you the new face of the surviving humans or the eye-catcher in the undead horde? Lights, camera, action! (Disclaimer: The production company is not liable in the case of actual living death.)
Humans vs Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Humans can in turn protect themselves by hiding, fleeing or fighting back (using socks or foam gun darts to ”stun” zombies). Exciting missions and quests will be available every day. Since teamwork is often the best strategy players are guaranteed to meet new people. HvZ is created for campuses like Otaniemi, so we couldn’t have a better area for the game!
Participation is completely free of charge. The organizers will provide the game scarf and special items for you. All you have to do is sign up, show up and play.

Junk bike collection 6.4.-1.5.
The Otaniemi junk bike collection is here and it’s bigger than ever. This year, we’ll be collecting abandoned bikes in the Otaniemi area not only from properties owned by AYY and Hoas, but also from ACRE’s buildings.
All bikes will be marked with a colorful bracelet between the 6th and 8th of April. All bikes that still have the bracelet intact will be collected during May. So remember to remove the bracelet from your bike as soon as possible! Please also tell your friends and roommates who aren’t in Otaniemi during the collection period to make sure the bracelet is removed from their bicycle. Is your friend on an exchange? Help them out!
All collected bikes that are in good condition will be sold in September. Then is your chance to buy yourself a working bicycle at an affordable price.
