| Hunt Series Chronology | |
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
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
| Round Title | Number of Feeder Puzzles | Number of Metapuzzles |
|---|---|---|
| Round Name | Number | Number |
| Round Name | Number | Number |
State Diagram
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
Note: This section is optional.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bravo Awards | January 13, 2022 | Best Presentation | Won |
| Award Ceremony | Date | Category | Won/Runner-Up/Nominated/Honorable Mention |
| Award Ceremony | Date | Category | Won/Runner-Up/Nominated/Honorable Mention |
| Award Ceremony | Date | Category | Won/Runner-Up/Nominated/Honorable Mention |
Reviews and write-ups
Note: This section is optional.
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
- Retrospectives from individual hunt-runners should go here in list format. They should be listed alphabetically by last name of the author. The text attached to the link should be the full name of the author (or pseudonym if it was published under a pseudonym). If the post contains a title, it may be added after the name, but not as a link.
From solvers
- Reviews and summaries of the hunt from those who have participated in it should go here in list format. They should be listed alphabetically by last name of the author. The text attached to the link should be the full name of the author (or pseudonym if it was published under a pseudonym). If the post contains a title, it may be added after the name, but not as a link.
