In this session, we will talk about how to construct puzzle hunts, including calibration and theming of puzzles and crafting a successful meta-puzzle to tie everything.
Description:
Puzzle hunts are a combination of scavenger hunt and puzzle solving. They can be used to encourage teamwork and learning across diverse groups of students, employees, and others. In this session, we will talk about how to construct puzzle hunts, including how to calibrate your puzzles to your audience, create puzzles within the disciplines or topics you want to convey, map your puzzles to your themes, and craft a successful meta-puzzle to thematically tie everything together. Based on feedback from last year, we will be working on puzzles during the session.
