The MIT Mystery Hunt is an annual puzzlehunt competition that takes place at MIT one weekend every IAP. The Hunt consists of a series of puzzles that teams work to solve throughout the weekend, with the end goal of finding a coin hidden somewhere on campus.

Mystery Hunt was launched in 1981 and is widely regarded as one of the oldest and most complex puzzlehunts in the world. It attracts over 1,000 people every year and has inspired similar competitions at universities, companies and cities around the world.

This year's Hunt will begin on Friday, January 17 at noon in Kresge Auditorium and last until the coin is found.

If you'd like to compete, form a team and then visit http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/ to register. If you don't have a team, you can also register as an unattached hunter.

Happy hunting!
