Horse is a puzzle from the Safari Adventure round of the 2020 MIT Mystery Hunt, presented as an interconnected web of hoofprints.
Puzzle Elements[edit | edit source]
Knowledge Required (Card Games) - The inset box references several Magic: The Gathering attributes; as such, it can be assumed that each hoofprint references a card from that game (as of the publishing of the puzzle).
Relational Web - The given web can be solved such that each blank is filled with a word from the enumerated wordbank and each card satisfies a set of relations with other cards in the web. Relations are given in the inset box; however, the nature of some relations must be determined while solving.
Marked Spaces - After filling out the web, the space marked in red will contain an answer.
Multiple Answers (Sandbox) - Like most Safari Adventure puzzles, this puzzle has multiple answers. They derive from the web having multiple solutions, each using a different available "Horse" card.
