Tacoma Puzzle Hunt

05/03/2024

Summer is almost here, and I'm sure many of you are looking forward to the sunshine, warm weather, and Tacoma Puzzle Hunt!

Unfortunately, due to the other projects I have been involved with over the past several months, I have been unable to devote the time necessary to create another Hunt for this summer. I'm sorry for the silence, but life has been pulling me in different directions recently, and it's been difficult to keep up with everything. Rest assured, however, that I plan to do my best to devote the time and resources necessary to bring back an even better event to Tacoma next year.

In the meantime, keep those gears in your heads turning, and I look forward to seeing all of you again at the next Tacoma Puzzle Hunt!

Today’s the day! We are getting set up and excited to see you all for the big event! Come on down to Tollefson Plaza at noon and get ready to solve puzzles on this beautiful but very Washington day!

A big shoutout to for helping feed our volunteers for the event!
Maybe you want to be just as lucky and have a pizza for your team. Well here's your chance to win one! Just let us know what number this photo represents (hint: it's not 2), and we'll randomly select a team this Sunday from the correct responses to enjoy a pizza at the event.

Good luck!

I know many of you have been wondering if there's going to be another event this summer, and I'm sorry you haven't heard from us recently. You may have also noticed the website is down.
Due to uncertainty about my job and staying in the area, it was unclear if another Puzzle Hunt would be feasible.

But that has been resolved, and it looks like you're stuck with me for now! We're currently working on the logistics of running another Hunt and should have an update for you in the coming weeks.

So stay tuned for more information. And in the meantime, enjoy the pictures from last summer I neglected to post then.

Thank you to everyone that came out on Sunday for an amazing event! We had over 100 people voluntarily participate in mental and sometimes physical challenges (a.k.a. torture).
Another big thank you to Puget Sound Pizza for keeping our volunteers fed.

Congratulations to the Show Biz Kids for taking home the $400 grand prize!
Tuna's Parents weren't far behind and were awarded with vouchers to another of our sponsors: Brainy Actz Escape Room Tacoma

And finally, we had Hoof Hearted winning $100 for their speed in answering all the first half puzzles correctly.

Stay tuned for lots of pictures!
