| Microsoft Puzzlehunt Chronology | |
Puzzle University, also known as Microsoft Puzzlehunt 2023 or Microsoft Puzzlehunt 23, was an online-only puzzle hunt that was open to completely non-Microsoft-affiliated teams, unlike most iterations of the Microsoft Puzzlehunt which have a requirement on the number of blue-badges (Microsoft employees) per team and are traditionally run on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington.
Puzzle University is available as a fully-functional static site at https://puzzle.university, including unlocks and simulators for all interactive puzzles.
