5 Successes
- First time attendee discount. We had 11 of 41 teams sign up as first-time attendees. I think this was a great way to introduce people to group puzzle solving and get them interested in the hobby. It could be considered a failure as we almost lost money on the printing costs, but to me (Amy), it was worth it.
- Solving milestones. Like Alice Shrugged in the 2014 Mystery Hunt, we had a goal of making sure that teams of all ability levels got to feel like they made significant progress. We had 17 of 32 Varsity teams and 2 of 9 IM teams finish the endgame, but more importantly, 29 Varsity teams and 5 IM teams solved at least one city meta. I (Nathan) would have liked the IM numbers to be even higher, but considering how many IM teams were first-timers, I think we did a pretty good job.
