Design a Custom Puzzle Hunt
You want to put on a puzzle hunt for a birthday or party and have no idea how the clues hang together. This designs the whole thing for your group, age range, and location: the flow, how teams progress, and five puzzles spanning observation, wordplay, and logic. For anyone organising the event and wanting it to actually work on the day.
