MORENO VALLEY – October 29, 2026 -- Starting Friday, October 30, you can step into the hit horror game Dead by Daylight without a controller: the Moreno Valley Museum & ArtSpace opens the world premiere of the Dead by Daylight Immersive Experience, with tickets from $30.09.

The 45-minute adventure is based on the asymmetrical multiplayer game from developer Behavior Interactive, in which four Survivors race to repair generators, power exit gates, and escape a killer. More than 70 million players have entered the game's Fog in its first decade. Here, guests work as a team to help Survivors get out.

Three acts use floor and wall projection to put guests in the game

The show runs on 360-degree wall and floor projection, surround sound, and motion-tracking technology that responds to every step guests take.

Boston – October 29, 2026 -- People with Parkinson's can now order WellPD, an FDA-cleared and CE-marked wrist-worn device from Empatica that tracks tremor, dyskinesia and bradykinesia at home, along with sleep and activity.

A companion app pulls those measurements into daily summaries. The aim is to help users see how their symptoms fluctuate, spot changes around medication doses and talk through those patterns with their care teams.

Symptoms shift by the hour, and memory is a poor logbook

Parkinson's symptoms can vary from one hour to the next, including as medication takes effect or wears off. In an appointment, recalling when changes happened, how long they lasted and how they affected daily life can be hard.

Kasendorf – October 29, 2026 -- Dog owners can now ask feeding, allergy and behavior questions in the Wuffio app and receive a personalized answer within a short time, tailored to their dog's age, breed and weight.

The app replaces generic web advice with tailored answers

Felix Tierwelt UG developed Wuffio as an alternative to online forums and search engines, which often give unspecific recommendations. The company says the app takes an evidence-based, advisory approach and is built on more than 2,000 personal consultations. Content is written without unnecessary jargon.

According to a user-survey evaluation cited by the company, more than two-thirds of dog owners regularly have questions about healthy nutrition and health problems. Most of them turn to the internet, which tends to leave them more uncertain than informed.

Munich – October 29, 2026 -- Diesel now averages 2.289 euros per liter across Germany, more than 20 cents above Super E10 at 2.084 euros, according to current figures from motoring club ADAC.

Petrol gets cheaper while diesel climbs

Compared with the previous week, Super E10 fell by 2.6 cents per liter. Diesel rose by 3.4 cents over the same period. Petrol had already become cheaper the week before, despite rising oil prices.

Brent crude trades at roughly $114 a barrel

The price of North Sea Brent is up from last week. ADAC links the diesel increase to the higher oil price, the tense situation on international diesel markets, and growing demand for heating oil as the colder season begins.

Filling up shortly before noon costs less

ADAC advises drivers to refuel shortly before 12 p.m. when possible, since prices are lowest then. At noon they rise sharply, then slowly fall again.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – October 29, 2026 -- Geico offers the lowest average premium for teen drivers at $153 a month, according to a new Quote.com report on teen car insurance rates. Teens carry higher driving risks than any other age group and pay the highest rates as a result, though discounts and experience can bring those rates down.

Travelers' average is nearly triple Geico's

Quote.com ranked the top 10 insurers for teen drivers by average monthly premium:

• Geico: $153
• State Farm: $178
• Auto Owners: $223
• Nationwide: $229
• American Family: $253
• Allstate: $318
• Farmers: $387
• Liberty Mutual: $398
• Progressive: $400
• Travelers: $443

These are averages, so individual quotes may land much closer together. Melanie Musson, a car insurance expert with Quote.com, notes that "car insurance quotes are highly individualized."

ATLANTA – October 29, 2026 -- Tickets for the first three Sumo Championship League (SCL) events of 2027 start at $19 and go on sale at noon ET on November 11.

Three arenas open the 2027 season

The league's opening schedule starts on Jan. 9 at Mullett Arena at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. It continues on Feb. 13 at Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, and on March 6 at accesso ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington. SCL describes the stops as Phoenix, Dallas and Seattle-area markets.

Nine more events for the 2027 season are in active negotiation. SCL says it will announce them in the coming months.

Austin kicked off the league's first season

SCL held its inaugural event in Austin and launched its first season in October 2026. Stops in Chicago and Ontario, California, were announced earlier.

MIAMI – October 29, 2026 -- A new survey of 2,000 adults in the United States and Canada finds that 81% miss the sense of wonder they had as kids more than the free time they had back then. Club Med, the all-inclusive resort operator, commissioned the study from Wakefield Research as the first edition of its Art of Free Time Report 2026.

Obligations beat enjoyment for most adults

Some 87% of respondents say obligations take priority over things they want to do for enjoyment at least some of the time. For 41%, that happens most or all of the time. Club Med calls this distance between wanting more fun and making room for it the "Joy Gap."

Berlin – October 29, 2026 -- Ex-smokers gain an average of 4 to 5 kilograms in the first year after quitting, and the cause is metabolic rather than a lack of willpower.

Two effects disappear when the last cigarette goes out

Nicotine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which raises energy use. While smoking, the daily basal metabolic rate is estimated to be about 7 to 15 percent higher, equal to roughly 100 to 250 extra kilocalories per day. After quitting, resting energy use drops back to normal.

Nicotine also acts as an appetite brake. It works on receptors in the hypothalamus that control hunger and satiety, so appetite rises noticeably after quitting.

INDIANAPOLIS – October 29, 2026 -- Visitors to the 2027 Indianapolis Home Show, running January 15–24 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, can walk through a remodeled 1960s-style ranch house instead of a new build. It is the first time in more than 100 years that the show's signature Centerpiece Home puts renovation front and center.

A 1,900-square-foot ranch grows to roughly 2,600

NARI Central Indiana, the local chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, is presenting the project. The group will recreate a 1960s-era ranch inside Exposition Hall, then reimagine and expand it from 1,900 square feet into approximately 2,600 square feet of modern, fully furnished living space.

The one-story layout is deliberate. Organizers point to growing interest in single-level living for its convenience, accessibility and flexibility for homeowners of all ages.

DALLAS – October 29, 2026 -- The new Wolfbox MegaFlow 200 Pro, a rechargeable cordless air duster, costs $139.99 and replaces disposable cans of compressed air with a handheld unit whose speed is adjustable from 1 to 100.

Its brushless motor reaches an airspeed of up to 87.5 m/s (196 mph). A built-in smart display shows the selected speed setting.

Gentle dusting and one-press turbo cover different jobs

At low settings, the duster can clear dust from keyboards, PC cases and other electronics. Around the house, it can clean air conditioner filters or move dust from behind furniture.

At higher settings, it can clear small debris from equipment and tight corners in a garage or workshop. A one-press turbo button jumps straight to maximum airflow.
