WTJU’s Cville Puzzle Hunt

WTJU’s Cville Puzzle Hunt is a huge, cerebral puzzle that spools out across downtown Charlottesville. Everyone reading this is invited. It is free.

Modeled on the Post Hunt in DC (back when the Washington Post used to do fun things), the 4th annual Cville Puzzle Hunt will take you on a wild afternoon running around trying to untangle five diabolical, large-scale, multimedia puzzles inserted into the urban landscape.

This year’s clues are all themed around the American Revolution. The event is whimsical and challenging, and the clues are based around real historical people and themes. Thanks to VA250, Virginia Humanities, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and CACVB for sponsorship!

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

After preliminary announcements at 2:30 p.m., the Hunt kicks off with an opening clue at IX Art Park. Puzzles will take you throughout downtown Charlottesville, eventually landing back at IX Art Park for the End Game.

You’ll need a smartphone and some creative thinking to solve the puzzles.
