[OT] Puzzle Hunt

[Ali Lloyd]

Some time ago I wrote a puzzle hunt for no particular reason other than to
amuse myself - it has a couple of bits that are explicitly LiveCode related
but mostly it should be solvable without LiveCode knowledge. Since I've
titled it LiveCode Puzzle Hunt 2024 I thought I'd better 'release' it now -

For those that don't know what a puzzle hunt is, it's a bunch of puzzles
which lead to answers that are a word or phrase, and (in this case) there
is a metapuzzle that 'unlocks' at some point which ties together the
answers to all the other puzzles to give a final answer to the hunt. Per
Wikipedia, "Puzzlehunt puzzles are usually not accompanied by direct
instructions for how to solve them; figuring out the necessary approach is
part of the puzzle." If solved correctly, it should always be clear that
the answer you have is *the* answer to the puzzle.

If anyone fancies trying to have a go, I recommend teaming up - especially
if you've never done puzzlehunt-style puzzles before. Equally if you're
just interested feel free to sign up and put as much effort in as you want.
If there is any point at all to me having done this (which there isn't)
then it's for people to have fun solving it. On that note, there will
probably be a hint system at some point but in the meantime feel free to
message me if you're stuck and want a hint. Also you can just see the
puzzles here (https://alilloyd.livecodehosting.com/puzzlehunt/puzzindex.html)
if you don't want to sign up.

I hope the festive period treats you all well!
