Puzzled Pint

Puzzled Pint is a monthly, casual, social puzzle solving event. It is held every second Tuesday in 35+ cities around the world,[1] with every location using the same puzzles. The global monthly attendance exceeds 1500. It follows the pattern of a conference-room style puzzle hunt, with teams receiving packets of 4-5 puzzles, usually with the answers feeding into a final Metapuzzle.

Most cities rotate the location to a new bar every month. The Friday before each event, a location puzzle is posted to the website. Solving this puzzle will lead players to that month's “secret” location.

Puzzled Pint is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run event,[2] with a goal of introducing new players to the world of puzzlehunts. The emphasis is on the casual nature of the evening. The puzzles are not as advanced or numerous as day-long or weekend puzzle events, and hints are always free. An archive of all previous puzzles is on the website and available under a flexible Creative Commons license so that they may be repurposed for other events and activities.
