FREE! FUN for ALL AGES!
SOLVE the PUZZLES for a chance to WIN GREAT PRIZES!

"PUZZLE WHAT?"
PuzzleHunt is Manbites Dog’s third annual FREE participatory performance event, in which hundreds of people attempt to solve puzzles located throughout Durham Central Park and other nearby sites.

"WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?"
PuzzleHunt is fun for all ages. You can play to win, or play for fun -- or you can just enjoy the performances, take pictures of the giant puzzles, and explore the park. It's up to you.

"BUT I'M NO GOOD AT PUZZLES!!" Puzzles range from easy to moderate difficulty. No esoteric knowledge or extraordinary skills are required to solve them. The final puzzles are more challenging, but still solveable. Working with a team (4 is a good number) is also very helpful. Most teams will be able to solve at least SOME of the puzzles, and many will solve them all.

more sample puzzles and hints, and other updated information!)
