FAQ
What is this? How do I solve these puzzles?
This is a puzzlehunt! In short, a puzzle in a puzzlehunt will give you some information, and your goal is to extract an answer (in the case of these puzzles, an English word or phrase) out of it. Other than that, the only real commonality is that the puzzles usually don’t have any direct instructions – it’s up to you to figure out what to do. You can read a more detailed explanation of puzzlehunts here.
If you’re new to puzzlehunts and would like to see some examples, we recommend looking at Galactic Puzzle Hunt, Teammate Hunt, or the recently released Island Puzzle Hunt.
