Congratulations, you've reached the FAQ page for the CUCaTS puzzlehunt 2023! Here are some questions you might have:
What the hell is CUCaTS?
CUCaTS is the Cambridge University Computing and Technology Society.
What's a puzzlehunt?
The Puzzlehunt is a team puzzle-solving and treasure-hunting competition. Your team will navigate its way through a mental and sometimes physical obstacle course of challenging and fun computational, mathematical and linguistic puzzles scattered throughout Cambridge, seeking to cut its way through to the goal before everyone else. No preparation is necessary, just come along on the day!
What kind of puzzles are we talking about?
Take a look at some of the puzzles from previous puzzlehunts in our archive.
When?
The puzzlehunt kicks off at 5pm on Friday the 23rd of June and typically lasts for 24 hours.
Where?
We'll meet up in front of Online and conduct a brief briefing before unleashing you guys on the puzzles!
Who?
Teams may be made of up to three members. It is envisaged that most participants will be @cam.ac.uk (affectionately known as Camacuks) and it is encouraged that each team should have at least one Camacuk. However, teams not meeting this criterion may be allowed to compete by prior agreement (drop us an email). If you're looking for more team members, hit us up and we'll try to match you up!
I'm #hyped! How do I sign up?
Register your team on the registration page.
Will there be free food?
There will be pizza on tap at an undisclosed location at midnight, and a friendly post-puzzlehunt meal!
