Solution to ⊥IWPE: Fencing (Event #3) ⚔️

Back to Puzzle

Answer: FACIAL

by Alan Huang

This event took place on Saturday 4-6pm EST. Teams were told to send 1-4 members who liked crosswords. Once the event started, teams were directed to a website where they could play crossword games with other hunt participants.

Teams have to solve a significant amount of a crossword in order to get the answer. Once they solve a large portion of the grid, they can see the following along the top-left / bottom-right diagonal: "NOW CALL IN FACIAL", so teams call in FACIAL as the answer.

Here is a stream of the fencing tournament:
