The MIT IAP Mystery Hunt is an annual puzzle competition held at MIT during the January Independent Activity Period (IAP). The competition challenges each team to solve a large number of puzzles which lead to a coin hidden somewhere on-campus. This site is here to entice you to join the fun, to help you find puzzles on the web, and to help with administration during the hunt. Feel free to look around.
