Help Us Bring Curiosity to the World

G4G “gathers” together the most brilliant and inquisitive minds in recreational mathematics, magic and illusion, puzzles and games, skepticism, science, literature, and especially the intersections of these subjects. Our events create opportunities to share ideas and make new connections. From our incredible community comes an outpouring of insightful papers, creative activities, clever objects, and intriguing presentations, which we strive to share with the world through our websites and social media.

G4G is financially supported by our community; people like you who want to share Martin Gardner’s legacy of curiosity with the world. Please consider making a donation today!
