SNAP 21

SNAP stands for Seattle Nearby Adventures in Puzzling and is a day long event similar to a scavenger hunt or Amazing Race on a small scale. You go from place to place in a notable Seattle/East side area and solve puzzles which allow you to move on to the next place/puzzle. Teams are ranked based on the time it took them to go through the event. We placed in the top 25% I think, but we were 3rd for most of the time. We got mired down on the one puzzle we found a bit unfair, as it expected us to read french to solve the puzzle in the end.

I wanted to call out especially that I thought the theming of the puzzles overall and the quality of the puzzles (with the one exception) were amazingly good. I hope that I can still participate in such a quality event next time it comes around. Thanks to the organizers, for putting it together. My 10 bucks admission was well worth it. And my cellphone says I walked 4 miles, so that's ok too.
