WTJU Puzzle Hunt

Each March, WTJU Puzzle Hunt is a huge, cerebral puzzle that spools out across downtown Charlottesville. It’s open to everyone and free to participate (though donations are encouraged).

Modeled on the Post Hunt in DC (back when the Washington Post used to do fun things), the annual WTJU Puzzle Hunt takes you on a wild afternoon running around trying to untangle mutliple diabolical, large-scale puzzles inserted into the urban landscape.

WTJU Puzzle Hunt is most fun with a team of your friends. Teams can be any size, but we suggest 3 – 6 people.

Puzzles will take you throughout downtown Charlottesville, eventually landing back at IX Art Park for the End Game.
