The 2021 [https://silphpuzzlehunt.com/puzzles Silph Puzzle Hunt] was the 4th Puzzlehunt run by the Silph team. The story takes place in the Pokemon universe - the solver plays the role of a goon for an unnamed team in Round 1, going to various Puzzlestops on a map. As puzzles are solved at the Puzzlestops, new Puzzlestop locations are revealed, until finally the Round 1 Meta is unlocked. After solving the round 1 meta and remembering your task, solvers unlock the second round. Round 2 has a similar structure, but with the more specific task of interacting with Candela, Spark, and Blanche - the three team leaders in the popular mobile game Pokemon GO. Round 2 is comprised of 21 puzzles, which feed into 3 different meta puzzles, one for each team leader, and one final [[metameta]] puzzle.
