What is Puzzle Hunt?
The Microsoft Puzzle Hunt is a quasi-annual Microsoft tradition dating back to just before the turn of the century. The hunt is a team puzzle competition that challenges each team to solve a large number of original puzzles of all different kinds. The answers lead to a hidden treasure concealed somewhere on campus. Teams spend the weekend solving original and unique puzzles created by a group of past puzzle solvers. Participants will generally enjoying being puzzled by anything from traditional puzzles like crosswords, cryptograms, jigsaws, wordplay and logic problems to wandering around campus to find landmarks or puzzles that have to be solved on location.
