Organiser's Description
Welcome to Puzzlerun! Get ready to run (or walk) and solve puzzles along the 5km loop. A Puzzlerun works a bit different than other runs or obstacle courses you may have done before, so read carefully.
Step 0: Form a team of up to 4 players (purchase one ticket per player). At least one player on your team will need a working smartphone or tablet that can access the internet on the day (the more the merrier!). You'll use your device to input answers, get hints, and see your times as you go. If no one on your team has a smartphone on the day, your team will be unable to participate.
Step 1: Arrive. Once you arrive at the venue, make your way to the starting area. Feel free to ask questions to anyone wearing a Puzzlerun hi-viz vest.
Step 2: Stretch. As your wave time approaches, make your way to the starting area to stretch and get started. When your
wave time arrives, open up the webapp and hit 'GO!'.
Step 3: Go! Run or walk 500 meters to the first puzzle station. When you get there, type the four-digit code from the sign into the webapp to get started with the puzzle (this stops your 'running' timer and starts your 'puzzling' timer).
Step 4: Solve the puzzle. Type your guesses and get hints in the webapp. When you solve the puzzle, you'll see a checkmark in the webapp – well done! Get moving to the next puzzle station.
Step 5: Finish strong. Your time stops when you finish the 10th puzzle after 5km. Get your medal, take some selfies, and celebrate!
How does the timing work? The webapp's timer automatically switches from 'running' to 'puzzling' when you type in the four-digit code on the sign. It's like 'checking in' to the station.
The webapp's timer automatically switches from 'puzzling time' to 'running time' when you've typed the correct answer.
It's like 'checking out' from the station.
It's all set up to be as simple and smooth as possible - and your time can always be seen at the top of the webapp. When you're all done, you can see your times broken down by each run and puzzle!
