Shardhunt was a puzzlehunt run by 17th Shard. The hunt was run from 28th July 2023. There were 3 rounds and 30 puzzles in total. The theme of the hunt was exploring a large library based on The Library of Babel, with several puzzles requiring the use of an interactive library. Every puzzle was shown as a book, and the 3 rounds are 3 floors of the library. The meta to each round was unlocked at the start of each round. 410 teams joined the hunt, and 103 teams solved the final runaround, finishing the hunt.
The hunt was preceded by Shardhunt 0, a little-publicized puzzle hunt hosted on a Discord server and a thread in the 17th Shard forums.[1]
