Note that because of the scope of this question, Option 2 has been split for ease. So if you'd like to support Hunt puzzles + ARGs + Escape Rooms but not Rally-yes, just support 2A and 2C, but oppose 2B.

Option 1 : Hunt Puzzles and similar only

This option limit our primary scope to Puzzle Hunts and Hunt puzzles. Some future delineation may be required to decide where exactly this line falls, but by and large, the primary scope of the wiki would be Hunt Puzzles.

Option 2 : Inclusion of Escape Rooms

Hunt puzzles, plus Escape Rooms and similar.

Option 3 : Inclusion of Rally-yes

Hunt puzzles, plus Rally-yes and similar.

Option 4 : Treasure Hunts and ARGs

Hunt puzzles, plus also Treasure Hunts, Alternate Reality Games, and similar.

Option 5 : Stand-alone puzzles

Hunt puzzles, plus other standalone puzzles of all types.

Option 6 : All of the Above

  • Support, with caveats (and also deprioritize until later) I think ultimately, this is probably the option that creates the least questions of "what is a X puzzle?". But for that matter, I would say that the individual notability criteria for the different types of puzzles has a fairly wide range. For instance, we can catalog as many individual hunt puzzles as we can, but maybe for treasure hunts/rallyes/ARG's, it might make sense to only have pages for the top-level franchise, or second-level "hunt"-equivalent (i.e. not one page per clue). Escape rooms could be per company, I suppose, since we probably couldn't get much sourced material for each room. There are also other types of less-hunty puzzles (e.g. logic puzzles could be per genres, plus it could be integrated with "hunt puzzles that use a certain genre" elements. Puzzle games (most likely at a game-level page, not a page per level), mechanical puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, I guess should be evaluated on notability.)--phenomist (talk) 03:40, 8 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
