Brown Puzzle Club

The home of the puzzlehunting community at Brown University.

What is a puzzlehunt (or puzzle hunt)?

A puzzlehunt is an event where teams of people compete to solve puzzles. These puzzles can be anything: word games, logic puzzles, video games, physical objects, or in-person challenges.

What do you do?

• We write yearly puzzlehunts! (See our archive.)
• We solve puzzlehunts together!
  • For big hunts (like MIT Mystery Hunt), many in our club hunt with a larger team known as Providence.
  • For smaller hunts, check out our Discord or listserv to hear when we're putting together our teams.
• We work on other cool events:
  • We wrote an entire puzzlehunt in 24 hours!
  • Several members of the club wrote puzzles or made art for the MIT Mystery Heist, which released on November 16th.
• We have General Body Meetings once a week: Thursdays, at 7pm, in Page-Robinson 401.

How can I get involved?

If you're a Brown student, join our listserv! You can also join our Discord through the Brown Student Hub.

If you're not a Brown student, support us by donating to our club; proceeds go primarily towards server costs and other expenses around hosting events like Brown Puzzlehunt or Puzzlethon.
