Hi, everyone, I’m back! Part 1 - The Big News A lot of you have known for a while, but I will be putting together a team of Sharders to compete in the MIT Mystery Hunt this month. If you like puzzles, logic, math, or having fun solving things with other people, then we are accepting people at any skill level/age. If you’ve never solved a puzzle before, we’d be happy to have you. 17 people have signed up already and most of them will be around for the whole competition, so you’ll be in good company. The Mystery Hunt is a competition that takes place from the 17th to the 19th of January. Teams compete to solve puzzles of any kind (logic, typical formats like crosswords or dropquotes, or other formats like lists of clues, photographs, gifs, patterns, Bob Dylan lyrics formatted as scientific papers, license plate numbers, etc) across the two days. We’re not expecting to be competitive or win (any team under 20 people is considered ‘small’) but if you want to have a good time and this seems interesting then we’d be happy to take you onboard. It’s completely fine if you need to miss any of the individual days because you’re busy or because of religious observance. Just as long as you can make some of the event and want to be a part of it. For some idea of what these puzzles are like, I’ve run Sanderson-themed hunts in the past here, here and here, and talked about our past competitions in this thread. The MIT Hunt is the grand-daddy of puzzlehunts, though, so expect much more (and many more) ambitious puzzles. We’ll also have an on-site team in Boston (at MIT), so if you’re in the area you’re free to meet up! If you’re planning to do this it will be convenient for me to know early. Part 2 - Smaller (But More Relevant) News As practice for the Hunt, I have put together a Sanderson Puzzlehunt! Since this is intended as a practice run for the Hunt, you will complete it as one team using the Discord server we used for official competitions in the past. If you want to sign up this is a good way to see how the team operates and what kind of stuff happens in a (smaller) Hunt, or to see if this kind of thing interests you. Because we need to start and finish it fairly soon, signups are now open in this thread and we will start tomorrow (7th of January) at 6pm EST. I may push it back a little if things aren’t ready to go, but not by much. Signups will remain open after the round begins. The theme of the round will be revealed when the first wave of puzzles go live. You can sign up to either competition below. @Calderis @Jaywalk @Rushu42 @Sorana @xinoehp512
