'''ARCADIA''' ('''A Regs-minus Carolina and Duke Invitational of Academia''') is an annual college set written by members and alumni of the North Carolina Research triangle (i.e. [[Duke]] and [[UNC]]) in collaboration with others. It is aimed at 2.5 [[dots]] on the collegiate difficulty scale, and typically becomes available for [[mirror]]s in the early to mid-fall. The first two instances of ARCADIA were praised for pursuing innovative clue and answer ideas while staying accessible to a wide range of players.
