This hunt ran from April 4th, 2020 7:00 PM EDT to April 11th, 2020 7:00 PM EDT
Teams can be of any size, but we suggest teams of 4 or 5 for this hunt.
The introductory round of the hunt will be automatically available to all. The rest of the rounds will only be available through ALL puzzles from each previous round (back-solving is encouraged). A new round will be unlocked publicly every 3 days. All puzzles will be released when the hunt ends.
Each answer will be an English word or phrase. Solutions are not case-sensitive.
To submit an answer for the puzzle, fill out the google form on the puzzle page. You will be asked for your team name, email, and solution submission. Those who solve the meta will get an email shortly with the link to the next rounds of the hunt. Because we are judging meta answers by hand, please do NOT submit an answer unless you are nearly 100% confident that you are right. We will only respond to 25 submissions to each puzzle. If you genuinely feel that you need more submissions, email us.
To see if your submission is correct, select the "view accuracy" button on the Google form.
You can ask for as many hints as you want. Just email us. In the email, tell us the name of the puzzle, your team name, and a brief description of your progress on the puzzle. We don't want to give you hints on things that you've already figured out!
You are encouraged (in fact, required) to use the internet to research information for each puzzle.
If you have any questions, have a hint request, or need to contact us for any other reason, email us at thegreatfoodpyramid@gmail.com
Keep in mind that we are a small team with limited operating hours. Give us at least 24 hours to respond to all emails.
