I love doing puzzles and regularly participate in the MIT Mystery Hunt. I also love writing puzzles! I've designed several puzzlehunts and escape rooms.
I helped Teammate write the 2023 MIT Mystery Hunt, where I also designed the character and art for the Ascent round, vaguely based on "biblically accurate angel" memes and the Tower of Babel. The puzzles I am most proud of constructing are Book of Fixed Stars, a puzzle which utilizes Arabic, and Fountain.
My current puzzle obsession is the new wave of Chinese-language Mystery-hunt-style puzzlehunts written and run by Chinese universities' puzzle clubs!
