Mystery Hunt

Hello scummers!

Some of you may have seen puzzle sites like oddpawn, thisisnotporn, notpron, and our very own aneninen's E.B.O.N.Y.

You may be less aware of what is probably the best puzzling event around, the MIT mystery hunt. It's a pretty incredible 3 day event where teams of 30-100 people compete to solve some pretty diabolical puzzles generated by the prior year's winners.

Last year's hunt had a really fun nautical theme. I participated myself as a team of 5 (including two toddlers), and we actually did pretty well, but since we only solved a very small proportion of the 150+ puzzles, I didn't get to see the whole thing.

They recently made it so that the game can be continued, and it's entirely remote.

I'd like to see if there's interest in putting together a mafiascum pseudo-team to try to solve the puzzles of last year's hunt. If anyone is interested, we can make a PT and I'll register us.

If there isn't a limit on the number of team members then I'm in.

No limit, even for the actual game.

I'll just register for everyone and put the UN/PW in the PT.
