I’m thinking about holding an all puzzle event In Oconomowoc this Fall. There would be about 15 or so hides with none of them being found without first solving increasingly difficult puzzles (easy for the kids and then they get harder as you solve them).
What kind of interest would there be in something like this?I had four options when I submitted this but the last one “Bring it on, I’m there” seemed to get lost when I posted it…

At first I thought this was maybe because you forgot to hit “Add Option” for the last one. But when I tried to redo the poll, all I got was the three options too.
Max number of options configuration setting is set at 10 so this should not be an issue. Sounds like another bug for the list…
I hope you aren’t seeing these bugs in your sleep….. 😉
-thanks for checking on this; always nice to have someone looking over your shoulder (unless you are at work that is).I really like the idea.
2 options to maybe use.
#1 Have hints in separate caches. Maybe even just giving a little, and that would be closer than just wanting the whole answer.
#2 Have the solutions in caches, just make it longer or harder to get to.
I would love to attend!!

8) Oooohhhh! Puzzles!!!! Love them, especially the ones I put out.
Bring it on, I’m there!
I thought about having the first few hours hint free then bringing out the hint books (or outright solutions) for people to pick up and finish those they could not figure out.
Truth be known I have just over half the puzzles already competed and ready to be assigned to a location…. 😉 I’ve been tossing this around my head for a few weeks now.
It would have an underlying Pirate theme and be called:
“A puzzling Event: Captain 7’s Lost Bounty!”
But I’m still in the gaging popular opinion stage.
ARRR a pirate theme eigh? Then ye best come to this neck o’ the woods and check out me Shipwreck to Fantasy Island ya scurvy dog… 😆I think ye need to be findin yerself in these here parts. Belly of the Beast and Three Lock Box be local hides…Ye Scallywag!
there are puzzles and then there are puzzles. i love solving the ones that have some sensibility to them, math, logic. but the puzzles that have no earthly clue (like pictures of people)–forget it.

The ones I have in mind are solvable (granted you may have to struggle with some of the tougher ones). If I do this it looks like I’d surely have to provide some answers; perhaps an hour or two into the event….. Still thinking.
We’d love to but being pregnant and driving that far isn’t in our future. 🙁
Ok.. I real suck at puzzle solving, but I am great at Critical thinking. So how can THAT be!!??!! That’s why I am trying this Perplexed Puzzle Cachers event, to learn a little bit more about how to go at solving puzzles. I know that I THINK too hard and oversee the easy stuff. So a puzzle event would be kewl, to learn a bit more about how you all figure them out. 😉
I call dibs on Marc_45140 as my caching partner for that day LOL
I looked at a few of Marc’s puzzles today. Yeiks! His is so not the direction most of mine would go. I tend to do more visual and divergent thinking kinds of puzzles.
