Are there any activities that you've found work particularly well or particularly poorly for meetups?

A different location can help to focus and leaved beaten tracks.

Do you have examples of runaway successes or spectacular failures?

I had a spectacular success by preparing a complicated riddle which challenged everybody (a kind of combined paper chase/rally/puzzle). I had quite some fun preparing it and everybody in solving it (including unexpected shortcuts).

It was not for a LessWrong-Meetup but close.
