2015 Hunt

RMHS PI-DAY PUZZLE HUNT

Tuesday, March 10 - Tuesday, March 17

Celebrate 3.14.15!

Rules/Guidelines

    1. Students will compete in teams of up to four.

    2. There are six total puzzles. Puzzles will be difficult and creative, requiring teamwork, creativity, and persistence.

    3. The answer to a puzzle will serve as the clue you will use to find the next puzzle. Puzzles will often lead to locations throughout school. No puzzle will force you to leave the school building.

    4. When you finish a stage/puzzle, immediately email rmhs.piday@gmail.com with your solution to the previous stage.

    5. Hints to puzzles will be available upon request. Every team will be allowed to ask for 8 total hints throughout the competition, so use them sparingly. There is a minimum wait time of 3 hours between hints. Checking in by email is required in order to receive hints. In the interest of fairness, we will not release hints during school hours.

    6. These rules, competition information, and publicly-posted team standings will be available at sites.google.com/site/rmhspihunt.

    7. You are allowed to use any resource available to you (including calculators, textbooks, and the Internet).

    8. A grand prize will be awarded to the first team to finish. Second and third place teams will receive prizes as well.

Tips from your Puzzle Hunt organizers:

    • Pay special attention to the wording of each puzzle. Specific words and phrases are meant to lead you in the correct direction.

    • Many puzzles require thinking outside of the box—have your team brainstorm ideas, and test each one accordingly.

    • Work quietly and secretively! Remember: there is only one grand prize.

    • Most importantly, don’t give up! The puzzles are tricky, but we believe in you.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
