Puzzle Hunt 2009

'Terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, and bananas!'

Puzzle Hunt is back! The global financial crisis continues, but more importantly, what is going on at the Big Banana?

Dastardly terrorists are taking over what they believe to be Australia's "biggest" landmark. But what for?

The Melbourne Uni Puzzle Hunt is an involving, mentally stimulating challenge spread over a week, with a set of puzzles released every day. It combines team work, problem-solving ability, mental agility, and the ability to consider something from several angles into one massive event.

Entry is entirely free, and you can check out the puzzles from the past five years from the links on the left of this page.
