Hunt is over. Thanks to his wonderful grandparents, Alex got to play at home while Dina and I hunted.
- We hunted with ACME, though, at some point, realizing it was an evil hunt, we switched to VILE. Though, someone did suggest we rename ourselves
Uninvited. - I had a lot of fun. I liked the hunt overall. I wish we were a bigger team so we could’ve seen more of the hunt. I was a bit disappointed at times because of our lack of manpower / progress. Dina had less fun than I did. I find it interesting the way our tastes in hunts differ.
- I felt I contributed a lot more this year. Maybe this hunt was easier, maybe the puzzles suited me better, maybe it’s because the team was smaller, maybe I’m getting better as I hunt more.
- Had some fun times. Best. Interaction. With. HQ. Ever. I request a call from HQ:
Me: Hello. This is VILE.
HQ: Your answer for “Choose Your Weapon”?
Me:Ensheferator(Sheffi, the puzzle constructor was in the room)
HQ: Pardon?
Me:Ensheferator
HQ: Uhm…
Me: Would you like me to spell that?
HQ: Uhm… Sure.
Me: Ensheferator:L. O. A. D. E. D.
HQ: Yes! That is how you spellEnsheferator. That is correct.
That’s the first time I ever heard them repeat a guess out loud. - I’m peeved that they schedule the hunt wrap up meeting at the same time as the Pats game.
- We figured that the easiest way of sharing videos with our remote solvers was uploading them to YouTube :-)
