NES

NES is a team that participates in both the MIT Mystery Hunt and online hunts. The team was founded in 2019 as N3XT, named after Next House in MIT. NES placed in the top 20 for both the 2021 and 2022 Mystery Hunts.

History
NES's membership primarily consists of residents and recent alumni of Next House. In 2019, they competed in the 2019 MIT Mystery Hunt as N3XT. In 2020, they merged with another small Next House team to become NES. For online hunts, NES teams generally have the initialism NES, often thematic to the hunt theme. In addition, one subteam of NES generally competes as Needlessly Eating [object beginning with S]. For hunts that allow teams to submit an personalized image, this subteam includes a picture of a person eating all previous objects that have been needlessly eaten from past hunts.
