2012 Mystery Hunt Introductory Workshop

Thursday Jan 12, 7-8 pm, in 6-120

• How do I start solving a puzzle when there's no instructions?
• I solved most of the puzzle, so where do I find the answer?
• What's a metapuzzle?
• What are the common tricks that puzzles use?

Wondering about the answers to any of those questions? Come to the 2012 Mystery Hunt Introductory Workshop!

This workshop is aimed at new hunters and other people with limited puzzle solving experience. We will be explaining common puzzle lore and giving illustrative examples of puzzles from previous hunts. The goal is to give new teams a boost so that every team can solve a dozen puzzles and a metapuzzle.

This workshop is being organized by several members of Metaphysical Fungus, the writing team of the 2011 Mystery Hunt. For questions contact Noah Snyder at nsnyder gmail com
