Work on the next hunt, which is the Fall 2016 hunt, takes place at [[Puzzle Plotting]].
  
===DUE DATE===

Useful general information is at [[How to run a hunt]].
ALL PUZZLES (except runaround and event puzzles) should be ready for playtesting by WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14.
 
  
===Testsolving Page===

If you are not a writer on the current hunt, please do not look at this wiki. If you can access any pages but this one without logging in, please tell edgarc@andrew.cmu.edu.  
[http://wavelet.ietfng.org/secret/puzzles/ Here] is the page for testsolvers,
 
which will (probably) eventually become the main puzzle page. As I work on the
 
system, this will be updated.

===Wiki Conventions===

How to make a [[new user account]].
Some things to keep in mind when adding a puzzle:
 
* Please put the answer on a separate page, linked from the bottom of the puzzle page (this allows other people on the wiki to testsolve puzzles).
 
* When creating the answer page, write something (anything at all!) in the "summary" box. By default, the recent changes page dispays the beginning of the text on the page; putting text in the summary box prevents that. (The same goes for any edit of an answer page).
 
* Please indicate on the main page when your puzzle is ready for testsolving.
 
  
==Guide/Intro Handout==

==Archive==
We're working on a handout to give out to Hunters [[GuidelinesHandout|here]].
+
[[2016 fall hunt]]
  
==Theme==
+
[[2016 spring hunt]]
The theme of the Hunt is "Soviet Alice in Wonderland". It'd be awesome if puzzles or their answers were themed appropriately. Runaround and event puzzles should definitely carry this theme.
 
  
In the midst of a Wonderland torn by Communist Revolution, the local equivalent of the KGB sends agents on a mission to hunt down the hidden leader of the anti-Communist forces. Clues gathered by field agents and interrogation of captured enemies will bring them ever closer to the mind-scrambling truth...

=== Attached Puzzles ===
 
The puzzle answers are restricted by the [[metapuzzle]]; only certain pairs of starting and ending letters are possible. They are:
 
* A..P [[Kraus Campo Puzzle]] - [[user:pmellott]] [[user:mglisson]] Ready for testsolving
 
* B..E [[Alphabets]] - [[user:Edanaher]] - ready for testsolving
 
* C..A [[StoryRhymes|"The Speaker is Out of Order"]] - [[User:Ghannema|Ghannema]].  Ready for testsolving.
 
* D..C [[Secret Message]] - [[User:Mrwright|mrwright]]. Ready for testsolving.
 
* E..E [[Tables]] - [[User:Cmartens|Cmartens]] - Ready for testsolving
 
* F..G [[wordsearch2|Wordsearch]] - [[User:mrwright]]. Ready for testsolving.
 
* G..A [[Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego puzzle]] -[[User:Cmartens|Cmartens]]
 
* H..R [[Logic puzzles]] - [[User:mrwright]]. Ready for testsolving.
 
* I..D [[Images around campus]] -- [[User:Ghannema|Ghannema]] -- Ready for testsolving.
 
* J..E [[Crossword clues with division problems]] -- [[User:Ghannema|Ghannema]] -- Ready for testsolving.
 
* K..N [[Duck Konundrum]] - [[User:gwillen]]
 
  
We probably also want a page of [[metapuzzle flavor text]].

[[2014 fall hunt]]
  
If you wish to claim a puzzle, create a link to the right of the letters.
+
[[2014 spring hunt]]
  
==Runaround==
+
[[2013 fall hunt]]
The hunt will end with an awesome [[runaround]], which should be planned out.
 
  
==Opening Meeting==
+
[[2013 spring hunt]]
The hunt will start with an equally-glorious [[opening meeting]], at which (if we can get him to) Dave will address the crowd, and for which we could see if Alan (if we can get him to) will write the dialogue.
 
  
==Propaganda==
+
[[2012 fall hunt]]
It was suggested that we advertize this even to non-KGB; if we decide to do so (I think we should!), we should probably design posters.

* Rattles (one per team, probably) -- NTB
 
* Stuffed white rabbit -- NTB
