The guide depicts the standard format for all hunt pages currently on and to be added to this wiki. While some hunts may require additional information, or reduced coverage in the described areas, we recommend future page creators begin with the following as a base. |
|||
|hunt_name = Hunt Name |
|||
|image = File:MIT.png |
|||
|image_width = 200px |
|||
|image_caption = Put an image relevant to the hunt here |
|||
|running_team = [[If Applicable]] |
|||
|num_teams = Number |
|||
|winning_team = [[Team or Individual Name]] |
|||
|num_rounds = Number |
|||
|num_puzzles = Number |
|||
|location = Hunt Location |
|||
|start_time = Start Time (Local to Hunt, or UTC if International) |
|||
|first_finish_time = Finish Time (Local to Hunt, or UTC if International) |
|||
|end_time = End Time (Local to Hunt, or UTC if International) |
|||
|hunt = [[Hunt Series]] |
|||
|prev_hunt = [[LINK|Previous]] |
|||
|next_hunt = [[LINK|Next]] |
|||
|hunt_link = |
|||
|kickoff_link = |
|||
|wrapup_link = |
|||
}} |
|||
The introductory section of the article should include the '''Name of the Hunt''' in bold, along with a brief description. Barring unavailability, the first sentence should include what number entry the hunt is in its series, if applicable, and the date on which the hunt officially began. |
|||
The following information should be included in some way in the introduction: |
|||
* Running team or organization. |
|||
* Basic theming and surface plot details |
|||
* Any particularly unique elements of the hunt as a whole that differentiates it from other entries in the series. |
|||
Details of late game plot, and raw numbers/figures (such as attendance numbers or puzzle count) should be avoided in this section, as they have a better home in other sections. |
|||
==Opening Notes== |
|||
Unlike rounds and puzzles, most of a hunt page's information will be included in the opening notes. This section should cover the time period the hunt ran, the team that ran it, and a description of the hunt's theme and basic structure. Only certain pieces of information require links, such as hunt teams, the series of hunts that the individual hunt belongs to, and any references to other hunts. |
|||
State diagrams, as seen in [[MIT Mystery Hunt 2020]] and others are being created by wiki members and will be added over time. |
|||
==List of Rounds== |
|||
A list of rounds should be provided in table format. This table should include links to the rounds' individual pages and a count of the number of puzzles (and metapuzzles if applicable) that each round contains. |
|||
== |
==Plot== |
||
A summary of the hunt's plot (if it has one) should be detailed here. Avoid mention of any puzzle or metapuzzle answers here, and make sure to use spoiler tags for material relevant to puzzle/metapuzzle mechanics or puzzle-relevant round structure. |
|||
This is where the majority of the information about the hunt should show up. A template has not yet been created, but once it has, it should be used for all hunts. A proper hunt template should contain the following information: |
|||
* Running Team |
|||
* The number of Active Registered Teams |
|||
* Winning Team (and source team if the winning team is a variant or sub-team) |
|||
* The number of Rounds |
|||
* The number of Puzzles |
|||
* The Timeframe (Start, First Finish, End) |
|||
* The Physical Location of the Hunt (if it has one) |
|||
* Links to previous/following Hunts in the Series |
|||
* The Hunt's State Diagram (image) |
|||
==List of Rounds/Puzzles== |
|||
Some hunts may require additional information, but all hunts should have this information at a base level. |
|||
Depending on the size of the hunt and whether or not rounds get their own pages, this section may be populated with a list of all puzzles, or a list of all rounds. |

== Unlock guide == |
|||
Notes on how unlocks worked during the hunt, particularly with regards to ordering and puzzle width, should be listed here. This includes the following: |
|||
* Number of puzzles unlocked at a given time |
|||
=Example: MIT Mystery Hunt (2020)= |
|||
* Unlock order if it isn't 'in reading order' |
|||
* When particular story/site updates occur. |
|||
Some information may be spoiler-tagged, particularly if it contains key information about how a particular puzzle is solved or a secret mechanic in the hunt. |

Longer hunts may benefit from a state diagram or similar flowchart to represent how solvers would progress through the hunt, and how the basic unlock structure functioned.

'''MIT Mystery Hunt 2020''' was the 40th iteration of the [[MIT Mystery Hunt]], with kickoff occurring on January 17th, 2020. Run by Left Out, the hunt began with a live wedding ceremony of two of the team's members, before proceeding into the customary opening skit. The hunt revolved around a fictional theme venue known as Penny Park. Due to a decline in popularity, the park was on the verge of shutting down. In an attempt to get it back up and running again, the newlyweds, mascots of the park, and owner of the park all recruited the attending teams to fix problems within the park's regions, thereby generating something known as Buzz, which would in turn draw more people to attend. |

The introductory section of the article should include the Name of the Hunt in bold, along with a brief description. Barring unavailability, the first sentence should include what number entry the hunt is in its series, if applicable, and the date on which the hunt officially began.
The following information should be included in some way in the introduction:
- Running team or organization.
- Basic theming and surface plot details
- Any particularly unique elements of the hunt as a whole that differentiates it from other entries in the series.
Details of late game plot, and raw numbers/figures (such as attendance numbers or puzzle count) should be avoided in this section, as they have a better home in other sections.
State diagrams, as seen in MIT Mystery Hunt 2020 and others are being created by wiki members and will be added over time.
Plot[edit | edit source]
A summary of the hunt's plot (if it has one) should be detailed here. Avoid mention of any puzzle or metapuzzle answers here, and make sure to use spoiler tags for material relevant to puzzle/metapuzzle mechanics or puzzle-relevant round structure.
List of Rounds/Puzzles[edit | edit source]
Depending on the size of the hunt and whether or not rounds get their own pages, this section may be populated with a list of all puzzles, or a list of all rounds.
| Round Title | Number of Feeder Puzzles | Number of Metapuzzles |
|---|---|---|
| Round Name | Number | Number |
| Round Name | Number | Number |
Unlock guide[edit | edit source]
Notes on how unlocks worked during the hunt, particularly with regards to ordering and puzzle width, should be listed here. This includes the following:
- Number of puzzles unlocked at a given time
- Unlock order if it isn't 'in reading order'
- When particular story/site updates occur.
Some information may be spoiler-tagged, particularly if it contains key information about how a particular puzzle is solved or a secret mechanic in the hunt.
State diagram[edit | edit source]
Note: This section is optional.
Longer hunts may benefit from a state diagram or similar flowchart to represent how solvers would progress through the hunt, and how the basic unlock structure functioned. This can be done through various sources, including Create.ly, Visual Paradigm, other drafting software, or by hand. Final designs may be remade in a different medium for consistency.
Accolades[edit | edit source]

Some hunts may have accolades from various puzzle awards ceremonies. These can be reflected in a table as seen below:
| Award | Date of Ceremony | Category | Result |
|---|---|---|---|

Reviews and write-ups[edit | edit source]
Note: This section is optional. A template will be coming soon to standardize these sections.
The puzzle community often discusses hunts after they've been completed, and as a result, blog posts summarizing/reviewing hunts and retrospectives from the writing teams are common. These do NOT include short-form reviews from social media in general, nor do they include official end-of-hunt wrapups (as those will already be listed in the hunt sidebar).
Lists of these should be formatted as follows:
From the organizers[edit | edit source]
- Retrospectives from individual hunt-runners should go here in list format.
