Palantir Puzzle Hunt was a puzzle hunt that ran annually between 2011 and 2020 by the software company Palantir. The hunt is initially run internally within the company and is later rehosted in various college campuses in the US, including in MIT (attracting both MIT and Harvard teams), UC Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, University of Washington, and UT Austin. These were walking hunts that used the ClueKeeper app. The 2019 hunt was only hosted internally, and the 2020 hunt was held remotely online. Hunts are typically a single round with between seven and nine feeders with a metapuzzle at the end.
