Puzzles in Alice-Land
Jan. 26th, 2014 02:27 amComments on some puzzles from the 2014 Mystery Hunt that I found noteworthy:
( spoilers, of course )
Other puzzles I worked on and enjoyed, but don't have any comments on: Across the Hall, Cross-Pollination, A Puzzle with the Answer NOWHERE MAN, Wandering Stars, Marking Territory, the Red and White Knights meta, Let's Meet in the Middle, and the Caucus Race meta.
One thing about a smoothly-running Mystery Hunt is that you don't spend a lot of time getting frustrated with whatever you're working on and idly skimming through the other puzzles to find one that looks interesting, and your team doesn't have a huge backlog building up of unsolved puzzles to begin with. Which is great! But it means there's a huge number of puzzles you don't even see. While I was looking through the puzzle pages to write up these comments I found whole sequences of puzzles I didn't recognize. Perhaps I'll go back and give some of them a try at some point.
Great Hunt, everybody!
