Some teams have achieved notoriety within the puzzling community from writing one or more major hunts, by performing well in hunt leader-boards, by representing a specific university or location, or by having a unique gimmick. However, there is no notability requirement for teams to be listed here.

Since team sizes for [[MIT Mystery Hunt]] are typically an order of magnitude larger than those for any other recurring hunt, large Mystery Hunt teams often divide into subteams for other hunts. Subteams and naming conventions for subteams should be listed in the "notes" column where relevant.

Teams, as they appear in puzzle hunts, are groups of solvers working together to complete a hunt. Below is a list of teams that are known to either be active, or that have been active in the past.

Some teams have achieved notoriety within the puzzling community from writing one or more major hunts, by performing well in hunt leader-boards, by representing a specific university or location, or by having a unique gimmick. However, there is no notability requirement for teams to be listed here.

Since team sizes for MIT Mystery Hunt are typically an order of magnitude larger than those for any other recurring hunt, large Mystery Hunt teams often divide into subteams for other hunts. Subteams and naming conventions for subteams should be listed in the "notes" column where relevant.
