This site has launched a major new section that has always been intended to be one of its primary focuses. This site talks about puzzle hunts frequently, but has so far always made the assumption that you had at least passing familiarity with them already. This may well not be the case, especially if you’ve only ever played exit games and want to know what other sorts of puzzle adventures there may be out there.Yay, now the Exit Games UK blog will also talk about not-in-a-room puzzlehunts.
I'm pretty sure more folks play escape-the-room games than know about walking-around (or driving-around) puzzlehunts. When I checked their site just now, the Real Escape San Francisco folks say that over 12,000 have played their Escape the Mysterious Room game. That's at least 10x the number of folks who've played in any particular local puzzle hunt. (And if you ask me to think of a puzzlehunt that had 1000 players, I'm going to say Real Escape's 1000 Treasure Hunters game… which suggests that the Real Escape folks are doing something right. Anyhow, what were we talking about? Oh, right…)
You can read more about puzzle hunts at the Exit Games blog.
