MIT Mystery Hunt 2020/Big Top Carnival

Big Top Carnival is the seventh round of the 2020 MIT Mystery Hunt unlocked after 45 feeder puzzles are solved.

Description


The round is themed after circuses (hence the usage of the term "Big Top", referring to a circus tent) and the concept of a traveling carnival, an amusement park-like attraction with many similarities to a circus. The round's puzzle themes incorporate both inspirations, though more use circus imagery.
