Q: Can we break the physical puzzles?
A: Generally yes. Please don't do anything unsafe — in particular, it you see something papery, you may not want to heat it. Contact us if you think you're being instructed to do anything unsafe.

Q: Can we use Google?
A: Definitely.

Q: Can we try to use metadata in the puzzle files or the source code of the puzzle to get extra information?
A: Yep.

Q: Can we try to hack the hunt site to get extra info?
A: Please don't :(

Q: Can we ask other teams for help on a puzzle?
A: Please don't. If you're not having fun, please let us know and we will help!

Q: Can we have a hint?
A: Click "Ask the Oracle" on the top right to ask yes / no questions. If you need more help, please contact us.
