Up Late
Up Late is a team that participates in the MIT Mystery Hunt. The team was formed in 2000, with a group of friends from Next House. The team name is a reference to how hunters will stay up late to do puzzles, and while phone callbacks were a thing, allowed the team to respond with "Hi, we're Up Late!".
