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[edit | edit source]
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.
