I've you've never heard of a puzzle hunt, you've come to the right place! A puzzle hunt is a competition in which teams solve a series of puzzles. In most puzzle hunt puzzles, you get a bunch of information and you have to extract an English word or phrase from it. You usually get no instructions as to how to solve the puzzle. You have to use that clever brain of yours to figure things out yourself :)
Bragging rights.
No, but there are a lot of puzzles. Without a team, you might find place lower on the leader-board. And you might feel a little lonely.
I sure hope so. That's kind of the point of these things. If you get stuck, here is some advice: https://www.mit.edu/~puzzle/resources/haveyoutried.pdf
By solving them! After each round's meta, I will give you access to the next round of puzzles. Every three days, another round of the hunt will be publicly released for those who are unable to progress through solving.
Email me! This is my first puzzle hunt to write, so I'm still learning! I will try to fix any problems quickly.
When the hunt ends the leader-board will be frozen. You will still be able to ask for hints and submit answers for a week after the hunt is over. Solutions will be released then.
The puzzle hunt was written by me, Purple People Eater. I am a high schooler who has enjoyed taking part in several puzzle hunts over the past few years. I've had so much fun playing many online puzzle hunts that I decided it was about time to give back to the puzzle hunt community. This is my first full puzzle hunt.
