While BAPHL's have mostly been chronological, BAPHL 14 was postponed until after BAPHL 15 (which had the theme of "searching for BAPHL 14"), and BAPHL 17 was not held. (The number was reserved by someone on Random). Hunts typically follow a structure where there are 3-4 locations, and at each location teams receive 4-6 puzzles. Each location may have their own standalone meta as well. Teams can advance to a new location once they have solved some number of puzzles from their current location. Additionally, in order to balance out the location stations, different teams may have different location orders to visit. The most recent BAPHL was BAPHL 22 in 2023. |
