This winter, Rebecca is the project manager and will be designing puzzles for The Mystery League’s puzzle hunt, part of The University of Chicago’s Winterfest. Winterfest aims to bring students together in collaborative, arts-focused events to fight isolation due to the Chicago winter and Covid-19.

“This puzzle hunt from The Mystery League will combine deduction, creative problem solving, and some old fashioned running around, as teams of players race to solve several puzzles per day, along with a week-ending meta-puzzle. Puzzle hunts combine the triumph of breaking a code, the thrill of a good mystery novel, and the adrenaline rush of a playground game of tag. You’ll need to read your emails carefully to find embedded cryptic messages. Perhaps you will order something from a mysterious online store and receive a clue. That text message from an enigmatic stranger could lead you to a social media account that has the next puzzle. Spend a week collaborating with friends as you race to be the first to finish.”
