The Harvard Puzzle Hunt is an annual day-long puzzle solving competition run by the Harvard Radcliffe Science Fiction Association. In the style of the MIT Mystery Hunt, our hunt features a variety of word, logic, physical, and other puzzle types. Our hunt is specifically designed to be accessible to beginning puzzle solvers, while also being enjoyable to those with more experience. We particularly encourage Harvard freshmen to give our hunt a try! The hunt takes place during Harvard's Freshman Week, generally on the second Friday after Labor Day.
