District Hunt 2025

Burying the Lede: Every 25 years, eight symbolic objects are chosen to define the culture of Washington, DC. Reports about this ritual also suspect a connected treasure, which has been quietly protected for centuries by a trusted network of individuals. But in 2025, something’s changed. With misinformation on the rise, the protectors are wary of whom to trust and have called for help. Teams are invited to demonstrate whether they are worthy of preserving history.

Poster's Take: Not sure of the specifics here but generally teams of 1 to 8 solve puzzles over a 1 or 2 day period at various spots in Washington, DC. The first clue is given online on Friday 10/3 with the main kickoff the following day at Keegan Theatre. There are three levels to the hunt, which get progressively more difficult. Puzzlers can solve the whole thing on Saturday 10/4 or stretch it out over the weekend if they would like. Total solve time estimated between 2.5 and 6 hours.
