The Free X-Tunnel is the Birthplace of the Cypher Univercity movement, which began in February of 2010 with the 1100 Hunters and God Cipher Divine, word spread like wildfire and a tradition was born. Every monday night since then, Emcees travel far and wide to Master the ancient Ceremony of "Cypher! Cypher!"

In 2012, the Cypher became a movement that spread to university campuses across NC: Central, ECU, APP, UNCC, A&T, UNC, UNCA.

I love the concept of this attraction, but being located on a university campus should clue you in on whether or not TRUE freedom of expression is allowed. If not, the commemorative plaque at the entrance will make sure you know that you're free only to express things that the university allows.

Love it! Been a long time since I attended but enjoyed the random 11pm visit on a Wednesday.;). Maybe NCSU will be on the venue for my youngest son. He enjoyed the "tour", seeing the dorms, seeing the campus students enjoying the evening, skateboarding and hanging out. Go Pack!
