What is this?
Puzzlethon is an event where we write, test, and publish an entire puzzlehunt in 24 hours!
It’s light-hearted, low-stakes, and a great way to get into writing puzzles if you’re a Brown/RISD student.
We’ll also be livestreaming the event. If you’re curious about taking a look behind the scenes to see what goes into writing a puzzlehunt, check it out!
Making a puzzlehunt requires all kinds of people with many different skillsets: we need writers, programmers, artists, testers, and more.
If you’re interested in participating in Puzzlethon (and you’re a Brown or RISD student), fill out this form! If you’re interested in spectating Puzzlethon, watch our livestream when it goes live!
What’s a puzzlehunt?
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.
For a (much larger) example, take a look at last year’s Brown Puzzlehunt.
When is it?
Writing will start on November 22nd, at noon ET.
Puzzles will be released on November 23rd, at noon ET.

Why are you doing this?
A few reasons:
- It'll be fun! We like making things.
- It's a great way for new writers to learn puzzle-writing.
- We're testing our websockets. Very important.
