Past Puzzle Hunts

Since July 2020, Solving Fun has been organizing and creating custom online puzzle hunts for various events. They are particularly adapted as a fun social activity to be held during an otherwise serious online conference. Participants are usually split into teams of 3-5 people, they gather in breakout rooms and solve puzzles collaboratively.

If you’d like to spice up your online meetings, with a novel/custom/puzzling/clever/entertaining/social activity like these ones, feel free to contact us! We work in English, Spanish or French.

Recent puzzle hunts we organized are visible in the subsections of the Past Puzzle Hunts tab in the top bar (except for the public events, the sections with puzzles are password-protected and available only to the participants of the events). Below is a short description of all our past events, in reverse chronological order.
