A plethora of fun awaits those bereft of the baggage of religion, family duties, patriotic struggle, and political intrigue. Somewhere in-between trainspotting and carving a living out of a hostile wilderness lie the modern cornucopiae of puzzle hunts. Some are star-caliber. And hey, the Boston race wasn’t too long ago… Meanwhile, if you’re interested in this winter’s Mystery Hunt, let me know.
There is also Midnight Madness, a run-around-the-City-and-solve-puzzles-in-teams hunt. It’s a lot of fun, and I had the honor of coming up with the theme and backstory for the most recent instance.
In hindsight, it sounds a lot like The DaVinci Code (Cool! They have a web site with puzzles!)…

Only days after writing this, I met some friends who had just created their own boston-area scavenger hunt, just like Urban Challenge, only they saved $60 each and spent 20 hours organizing it. They would have loved to do U.Ch., had they but known.
