In a puzzle hunt, teams work together to solve a series of puzzles, which involve lateral, logical and creative thinking! For our soft launch, UW Puzzle Society will begin by gathering as one big team to solve our way through some puzzle hunts over the quarter. </div>

If you’ve never heard of puzzlehunts before, here’s a very brief summary: in a typical puzzle, you receive some information and have to extract an answer out of it, which is almost always an English word or phrase. Puzzles can come in many different forms;
the only real commonality is that you usually receive no direct instructions, so it’s up to you to figure out how to make sense of the information you’re given.</div>
