I'm confused by the distinction between "scenes" and "safaris". Personally I'd like it if everything were called a safari, cuz going on a safari sounds like muc

  That is partially historic. The name scenes comes from the phrase "mob scene" (I didn't know what else to call it) When I was first working it out in my head, I wanted something where people can do the same thing at the same time in the same place (like a mob). But as it evolved, each scene didn't have to be time and place specific. A safari came later. I wanted to group scenes together like a list, or trail that I can check off as I completed it, or that others can complete as a walking tour since scenes can be location specific. As you can see, safaris are still less mature than other parts of the site. I'll have to do more work to make the two more distinguishable. What's a "random challenge link"? You click on it, and every time, you see a different scene?

    Random challenge -- yes, exactly. I'm thinking it would be good for people who are really bored. Also, it's good for new users who are trying to get an idea of what kind of things are on the site. Terminology probably does need work, I think the history is holding it back a bit... as you can see I'm calling your things "challenges" or "things" because "scenes" just doesn't work for me.
