I'll take any opportunity to thank devjoe who maintains an index of all MIT Mystery Hunt puzzles as a labor of love at: https://devjoe.appspot.com/huntindex/

If you like Puzzle Hunt puzzles, you might enjoy my upcoming game, Outsider, which contains a MIT-style Puzzle Hunt puzzle. You can complete the game without solving it, but the solution uncovers a whole new layer in the story: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider

Recently came across this:

>People pay money to go to the gym, run marathons and take part in events like Iron Man and Tough Mudder – activities that previous generations would have thought were insane.

>Some people alive today are probably fitter and healthier than any in history. And some people are not, and there is a huge range in between. Liberating people from physical toil has led to a much wider range of physical fitness.

>Maybe something similar will happen with intellectual fitness. Cognitive games and puzzles and competitions will become very popular. Adults will employ personal tutors and coaches to help them win. Who knows what the intellectual equivalent of Tough Mudder will be.

>Some people will end up smarter and cleverer than any in human history. Some will not. And there will be a huge range in between.

>(from https://substack.nomoremarking.com/p/are-we-living-in-a-stup...)

And my first thought is that puzzle hunts are already here for those who are looking for a challenge!

Exactly. Also they've apparently forgotten the existence of hugely popular escape rooms OR the entire Mind-Sports Olympiad competition.
