Puzzled Pint are actually smaller-scale, easier versions of what are called puzzlehunts!
Compared to Puzzled Pint, many puzzlehunts are more difficult, much longer, and use a greater variety of gimmicks and mediums than Puzzled Pint (for example you only expect to see a small set of ciphers or types of puzzles at Pint). You should expect to primarily work on puzzlehunts in spreadsheets as well. If you're interested in getting into puzzlehunting as a whole, there are many beginner-friendly hunts available to those who have only had Puzzled Pint experience! Below are some puzzles we (GC) recommend for both novice and experienced puzzlehunters alike. Or ask us about them at the next Puzzled Pint!
If you're also interested in getting connected online or finding a puzzlehunting team, we would recommend the Puzzle World Discord server!
