The Students make up one of the first available rounds of the 2021 MIT Mystery Hunt, with the first puzzles being accessible immediately upon entering the Projection Device, but with the final metas requiring much more progression due to the scattered nature of the puzzle givers throughout the entire map.

Description[edit | edit source]

A book lies open on a table. In it are four photographs showing the locations of particular students within the Projection Device, and the name of the puzzles they give access to. A selection bar at the bottom of the book shows there are 14 pages in the book.
Puzzle selection menu for the Students round.

Navigation Puzzle[edit | edit source]

Click to revealThe book shows each NPC puzzle giver and their immediate surroundings. Solvers must locate these NPCs. By talking to the NPC, the corresponding puzzle is unlocked. Since there are many NPCs in this round (although not all NPC's are available from the start of opening the hunt, and more are unlocked as teams progress through hunt), it's also a viable strategy to just talk to NPC's in the Projection Device while exploring or walking to various locations on campus, and use the pictures only for locating the last few NPCs.
