For those of us looking for a puzzle hunt with a twist, the Iron Puzzler might be for you. The first 24 hours is devoted to teams creating two new puzzles. The other teams will then attempt to solve and rate at a four hour competition the following day. At the start of the game, teams are given a list of three secret "ingredients," one of which must be incorporated into their clue. More information can be found at the Iron Puzzler website.
