WHY2025 limited edition enamel mug
We've received some reports about the Special WHY Mugs not reaching expected quality. We are working on the issue and will update you on this page
wiki.why2025.org/Tea...
If you bought 1 or more mugs, please add your experience, so the teams involved will have a clearer picture of what is happening.

We hoped for mission "Plausible Deniability" to be done today, but a few more hours are required tomorrow to make everything spotless.
Saturday 16th we'll start at 10:00 in the morning. If you're in the area, your help would be very much appreciated!
4 gators on a truck driving through the fields
After seeing the Manitous moving to fresh grounds, the gators followed suit and managed to hitch a ride to new adventures and unknown territories, leaving Geestmerambacht behind in a cloud of dust. The next chapter in their journey and ours, in a world that will never be the same, after #WHY2025
A herd of wild Manitous
Part of the herd of Manitous
Having roamed the fields at #WHY2025, a herd of wild Manitous try to take a rest while shielding their precious offspring from the harsh reality of being forced to migrate the next feeding ground in only a matter of days. Their lowered forks ready to defend or attack at any moment
#teardown
A teardown Angel at the lunch buffet on the field where the last pieces of evidence of WHY2025 are being removed
WHY2025 was awesome, clean-up is in the final stages. Now LUNCHTIME!
Here we see, in the wild, one of the awesome tear-down Angels. They are foraging after another morning of hard work on the fields of WHY2025. This species of hackers tends to leave fields cleaner than when they first arrive #angel
The text "teardown help needed" written in bright glowing green letters on top of a screenshot of the timeline, and in the background the inside of the empty infodesk/chaospost tent
Last day of teardown today! With the promise of food (and perhaps another exclusive afterparty?)
If you can spare your Friday to help clean up the last loose ends at Geestmerambacht, we can achieve "Plausible Deniability". It would be like we were never been there 😀
Many hands make light work! 💪
Empty lawn chairs, pretty lighting on the field and lasers shooting overhead at WHY2025, no people to be seen
The party is over, but the field is not yet empty
Got some spare time on Friday? Help out with the last bits of cleanup in Geestmerambacht to spread the load over as many volunteers as possible and there will be food! Continue the patat/friet-discussion on the field (yes, this might be a hint 😉)
Car filled to the brim with boxes of ice cream
Today and tomorrow (Thursday/Friday) there is still a lot of tear-down in progress. If you are in the area, any help would be appreciated. All the tasks (both light and heavy) are handled from heaven.
Someone dropped off ice cream/popsicle for all volunteers ❤️
Two volunteers tagging drive plates, with a third one standing on one pretending to surf.
HELP US :) We have two more days of tear down to go, and a lot of the hard workers here have been here for 14 days.
Fences have to be taken down, volunteers have to get food and water in them, trash has to be removed from the field.
If you have some spare time today or tomorrow, please help us!
The main bar will host an Angel party today at 22:00 and the bars are open till noon tomorrow. Enjoy! #angelappreciationpost

An awesome camp with gorgeous deco doesn't mean you are free to take it. After all these days of being excellent to eachother, it seems some people have forgotten about this rule #1
All the love for the hard working volunteers ❤️
Stay hydrated!

WHY2025 is starting, it is a beautiful day!

If you get 3750 people together for the best outdoor hacker camp of 2025 in The Netherlands, a power outage in the general area is not what we want.
Sending love to the people at Liander who are working on fixing our power
