Hey folks!
Don't think we'd forget about the Puzzle Hunt this year!
You can find the PDF to the fourth annual PaizoCon Puzzle Hunt pinned in the Puzzle Hunt channels on the PaizoCon Discord server!
What Is a Puzzle Hunt?
A puzzle hunt is a set of puzzles, each of which can be solved individually to reach an answer that is a word or phrase. The exact instructions for each puzzle might not be apparent at first, so you’ll need to think cleverly and logically to solve them!
The puzzles’ answers are then combined in some way (that you have to figure out) in a final puzzle that leads to an ultimate solution! If you think you have the right solution, you could win a prize!
How to Get Help!
First, you can use any internet resources at your disposal to solve the puzzles.
Second, you can ask the puzzle masters or your fellow solvers for help on the Discord channel or in this thread. Please use spoiler tags in either format when revealing hints or puzzle answers!
To tag spoiler text on Discord, simply highlight the text and an option to use the spoiler tags should appear over (it’s the eyeball).
How to Collect the Prize!
Email your final solution to joe.pasini@paizo.com with the subject line “PaizoCon 2020 Puzzle Hunt.” Include the email address associated with your Paizo.com account. And if you’re correct, you’ll receive $5 in credit to the Paizo.com store! (If you get it wrong, however, Joe will nudge you in the right direction.)
One prize per person (not account), and prizes will be awarded after PaizoCon is over, once all account emails have been collected. We will no longer accept answers after June 1, 2020.
Find the Secret Bonus Puzzle!
The secret bonus puzzle is hidden somewhere within the puzzle hunt, which reveals a certain phrase. Try to find it! There are no prizes for submitting the answer to the secret bonus puzzle, except our unwavering respect.
