Mittens also includes a "super quiz" of questions relating to AGS and adventure games. It began at the first Mittens - those who wish to participate and those lucky enough to score get to choose from an array of prizes supplied by other Mitteneers. In 2003, Helm won a foam hand. In 2006 AGA got the highest score & won a special boxed edition of Ben Jordan 1 and a signed Mittens poster by La Lore. Grundislav is the competition leader - he has won the competition consecutively since 2007 (except in 2009, where no quiz took place) - claiming his "knowledge of random trivia" is to blame. He is yet to be beaten, scoring 50%, 25% more than 2nd place in 2011. | Mittens also includes a "super quiz" of questions relating to AGS and adventure games.

In recent years, as the locations have become less rural - the Mittolympics & notorious arm wrestles have been extinguished - with sight-seeing, game & video making now playing a major role in activities and traditions. | ||
Noteable are the "Melt The Limit" productions and the string of Ben Jordan fan films. Various attempts to make games (involving Mitteneers for the duration of the event) have occurred but few have been successful. Smaller sister events to Mittens (such as Brittens and Lapaset) have seen short games produced by attendees. | |||
