The MIT IAP Mystery Hunt is an annual puzzle competition held at MIT during the January Independent Activity Period (IAP). The competition challenges each team to solve a large number of puzzles which lead to a coin hidden somewhere on-campus. This site is here to entice you to join the fun, to help you find puzzles on the web, and to help with administration during the hunt. Feel free to look around.
A description of how the hunt was started, along with some of the traditional administrative aspects of the hunt.
The 2009 Mystery Hunt has concluded, with team "Beginner's Luck" finding the coin at 3:02am on Monday, January 19th, 2009.
The 2010 Mystery Hunt will begin January 15, 2010.

Typos and broken links are (probably) not puzzles, but a side-effect of many different groups maintaining these pages over the years. Please feel free to report any sorts of problems you might find. puzzle at mit dot edu
