Casually promotes his merch

I’m throwing a party for about 50 people with various activities, one of which is a puzzle hunt. Because of the various activities and people involved, I’m not sure exactly how many people will be actually doing the hunt. Do you have any tips for organizing a large group like that for the puzzle hunt portion, in the possibility that EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM wants to play and arrives perfectly at the same time? The puzzle hunt itself is very linear with a final code being solved with physical pieces picked up along the way from other puzzle locations. Most escape rooms I’ve done have around 4-10 people so I was considering breaking everyone down into groups of max 10 and somehow staggering every group’s starting time with the rule to return each puzzle how they found it so the next group can enjoy it. (Planning on having at least 1 copy of each puzzle in case something gets lost/broken) I am not sure how to estimate how long the hunt/each puzzle would take for each group since I obviously know the answers already. So I’m not sure if I should plan to have each group fully do the hunt, stalling other groups with other party activities while they wait, and compare end times for ranking. That sounds disgustingly long to me. So I’m wondering if I could stagger start times so subsequent groups start playing after a brief head start from the previous group. How would I navigate possible traffic jams or clever teams passing each other? Also, with such a large group, how can I make sure everyone has fun and can participate if they want? In escape rooms I’ve done, I know some people do nothing and some people really wanna solo everything. How do I balance HOW players work together? Make each team have a captain to look out for each other?

When I click "Make my puzzle!" nothing is happening...

I made a scavenger hunt for an unknown number of children of various ages and wanted to keep it at around 4 hours once. I ended up designing all the puzzles to be very difficult with extreme shortcuts. Sudokus where you can get away with just solving one line, a multiple choice series of riddles where you can probably look at the multiple choices and pick the ones that spell a word, etc. There ended up just being one clever kid show up and it took almost exactly four hours with very gentle nudges that let him still feel like he had outsmarted the whole thing.

thanks!

Thank you God for scavenger hunts 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍. I heart them in Jesus name amen 🙏

"friggin be ready" 😄

I have been looking for such things for hours and finally found the perfect tool. Thank you!

Thank you for this video!

I want to do a treasure hunt but I want players from all 50 states to participate for a grand prize. I definitely need your help to make it happen

Please do more videos

<3

:)

Thx this really helped for my scouting event❤❤

!

Great Puzzle and as always, great tutorial. I have recently been watching videos on the Jejune Institute and the Latitude Society. It is basically a very detailed scavenger hunt but the creator calls the adventures "Urban Playground Movements" or "Alternate Reality Games." I don't think I have ever seen such detailed and immersive scavenger hunts. I was just wondering if you have ever created a scavenger hunt like those? They seem to be very similar to the movie "The Game" with Sean Penn.

Thank you!!

Found your videos whilst researching ideas for a Scout adventure I need to plan for our next camp. I'm only four videos into your playlist but you've already tripled my ideas base for this project! Excellent work and I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much.

Nice video on tips for SH’s. but kinda uncool to slam apple B’s like that.There’s a lot of good workers at that restaurant.

I love this. If I were to use this in my own hunt, how would you recommend ensuring the hunter fold it the correct way, instead of backwards?

I nearly had a family member drive away even though I told them their property lines were the boundaries of the adventure! They thought(correctly) that the clue referred to their favorite diner, but they didn't even consider the diner memorabilia they had displayed in their home before grabbing their keys.

Great channel! How do you make a clue that leads to this cipher and what to do to solve it?

Aw, sadly the Puzzled Reality site is no more... But thanks for sharing these tips :)

how do I know is the letter I or J?

Well done! I would definitely not be the one volunteering for stupid stuff.

❤ really fun explanation of The Grand Hunt. I’d love to make it to one.

This was a great recap. Thanks!

Awesome video! How do you start a hunt like this without being present? It seems very complicated to wrangle strangers into forming teams and starting the game at the same time.

Great Video. As a fan of scavenger hunts and as a person who has thrown similar hunts over the years, I love it when you post new videos. They are always very instructional and entertaining. I think I have watched all of your videos multiple times and I do not remember you mentioning the use of vellum paper to disclose the final location on the map. Very creative and it is similar to the your black light idea. I do not know if you have incorporated the following idea before in any of your hunts, but I like the concept/gambit of building the map itself during the hunt vis-a-vis a jigsaw puzzle. There are custom jigsaw puzzle websites out there that will let you upload a picture and they will create any size jigsaw puzzle. The idea is that the participants receive parts of the jigsaw puzzle at each location throughout the hunt, and at the second to last location, the participants will recieve the final pieces of the jigsaw puzzle which will obviously fill in the remainder of the map and disclose the final location. Chris, keep up the great work and I always look forward to your videos.

When I was a kid, my sister made a treasure map for my brother's birthday. We had to go through the cave (just a a Playschool tunnel), jump over the lagoon (over a blue blanket), things like that. This was my first introduction to adventure gaming, and I think it may have changed my life haha

Can i use it to cipher my passwords

Yes.... Yes of course UA-cam has a channel devoted to exactly what I need. LEGEND

I love it, I'll use this at work

Thank you ❤

perfect man, thanks

This is brilliant, I'm going to use this. They're gonna have to wrap it around the handrail on the bus and it'll tell them where to get off :D

now how do I teach this to someone I want to surprise with a treasure hunt...? 😅 First time I'm seeing this kind of cipher, pretty cool.

I am really glad you are back. I always look forward to your content and I can't stress enough how valuable your insight is for all of us amateurs out there.

This is very clever! Think I'll use this in my first con. adventure for my friends.

Nice. Thanks for doing this video. Keep it coming

I love how he’s so genuine “I’m gonna go play in the snow” hell yeah who doesn’t want to play in some snow

Finally new content in this channel

Ugh, so true about Tucson drivers. If the weather's not perfect, they're awful.

How does one lock the wheel in place, especially in the paper version?

LOVE your videos Chris! Thank you for sharing! =)

Can you share some details about your business insurance? Thnx.

Thank you for your channel, I designed a scavenger hunt for my brother's birthday last year using ideas you share and now I'm back one year later to design another one :)

Thank you so much!
