Yuki is a team that participates in online hunts. A small subset of the group also maintains YukiHunt, a tutorial website designed for introducing beginners to puzzle hunts.

History

Yuki was founded in 2018 for Galactic Puzzle Hunt. The team name is named after the dog of two of the members.[1]

In 2019, 3 members from the team created YukiHunt v0 as a community site to create and host puzzles, and for players to play and rank them. A year later, the same group pivoted and released YukiHunt v1, now entirely beginner-focused. At the time, there were few introductory hunts or resources, so the group created the site to give a more guided experience even for new players playing alone.

In GPH 2022, Yuki was the only team to discover an easter egg during the hunt, and was awarded a special green-colored certificate which can be seen in wrap-up.[2]
