Touch Grass Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!) was the scavenger hunt of MIT Mystery Hunt 2023. It also later featured in Admiral Boötes' Cosmic Discovery Expedition: Further Galaxies, though since the scavenger hunt was already in the Mystery Hunt, the answer was given freely to all teams.
Solve Path[edit | edit source]
This is a scavenger hunt. Submit enough tasks (scaling with team size) to get the answer. As a nice touch, for the mystery hunt version of the puzzle, the letters are found on the Braille dot positions corresponding to the word "GRASS", though this isn't strictly necessary to notice. Additionally, the answer did not feed into the meta, but solving the scavenger hunt provided teams with two free answers, as well as potentially provide a way for teams to understand that answers in this round were multiline and correct spacing was important.
