Super Team Awesome

Formed in 2007, the team first placed in the top 10 in the 2017 MIT Mystery Hunt, and has placed in the top 10 in three additional hunts since then. The team is based around a cultural club at MIT, the Association of Taiwanese Students (ATS). A subset of Super Team Awesome hunts and writes for Puzzle Potluck as The Puzzle Potluck Crew.
History[edit | edit source]
Super Team Awesome was founded in 2007. The team name is derived from "team awesome", the team name that some of the founding members had won under in a 2006 Simmons Hall orientation hunt. The acronym of Super Team Awesome (STA) is also a reversal of the MIT club acronym, ATS. Super Team Awesome also serves as a reunion for ATS members, allowing the team to grow over time.[1]
