Puzzles
Puzzle hunt contributions — the kind where the answer is always one word and you feel very smart when you get it.
Puzzle hunts are a genre of collaborative, marathon puzzle competition in which teams solve large numbers of interconnected puzzles over 24–72 hours. Each puzzle has a hidden answer — usually a single word or phrase — discovered through lateral thinking, pattern recognition, and a dangerous amount of caffeine. Below are puzzles I've written and contributed to various hunts.
