puzzle hunt

A puzzle hunt is an organized game where teams solve a series of interconnected puzzles, each leading to clues or answers. These puzzles can vary in style and complexity, often combining logic, pattern recognition, wordplay, and research. The ultimate goal is to progress through the puzzle chain to find a final solution or treasure. Puzzle hunts are popular in academic, corporate, and hobby communities, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun, competitive environment. They typically unfold over hours or days and may be held in person or online.
