Puzzlehunt

A puzzlehunt is a Puzzle Game where teams compete to solve a series of puzzles at a particular site, in multiple sites and/or via the internet. Groups of puzzles in a puzzle hunt are often connected by a Metapuzzle , leading to answers which combine into a final set of solutions. Some famous annual puzzlehunts are:

the MIT Mystery Hunt ( Cambridge, Massachusetts , USA), the first of its kind

the Microsoft Puzzle Hunt ( Redmond, Washington , USA )

the Miami Herald 's Tropic Hunt ( Miami, Florida , USA)

the Maze Of Games ( Indianapolis, Indiana and Columbus, Ohio , USA)
