The MIT Mystery Hunt is an annual puzzle hunt competition occurring over the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. The hunt challenges each participating team to solve puzzles which lead to a "coin" hidden somewhere on campus. The winning team gets to write the subsequent year's hunt. Kickoff will be in Kresge Auditorium on January 12th at noon, and registration and other information can be found at web.mit.edu/puzzle.

Happy Hunting!

The MIT Mystery Hunt (taking place January 12-15, 2018) is an annual IAP event in which teams compete to solve interconnected puzzles and find a coin hidden on campus. Setec Astronomy (the team that wrote the 2017 Mystery Hunt) will lead a pre-hunt tutorial on how the hunt works, followed by a workshop with tips on how hunters can improve their solving. All are welcome at either or both parts!
