MIT Mystery Hunt 2021/Students
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
[INSERT VISUAL DESCRIPTION OF ROUND]
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.
