mezzacotta Puzzle Competition Chronology
← 2013

The mezzacotta Puzzle Competition was a puzzle hunt run in 2016, run by the organizers of the CiSRA Puzzle Competition, which had run four seven times previously between 2007 and 2013. It follows the Australian hunt format, with five puzzles were released each day for five days, with the metapuzzle also released on the fifth day. The theme of the hunt involved the Discworld series. Two teams scored the maximum of 130 points (solving all 25 feeder puzzles and meta within a day of release). Between these two teams, Octarine Herrings were the first to finish all puzzles. Unclean Axis was the first team to solve the metapuzzle, winning the meta prize.
