Puzzle hunt

The process of deriving the final answer once the main part of a puzzle has been solved is known as "extraction".

Participants often use social chats like Discord and spreadsheets like Google Sheets to collaborate and organize information.

Pattern matching tools like Nutrimatic allow for search and completion for words or phrases.

Such hunts are typically not timed and offer no prize except the enjoyment of playing and the satisfaction of solving the challenge.
