Ryan Patch: 我认为MIT Mystery Hunt是puzzle hunt行业的开端。我们从沉浸式体验的角度出发，创造了感觉像在电影中的任务，并通过谜题来解锁下一个环节。寻宝游戏和puzzle hunt的区别在于，寻宝游戏是基于任务的，而puzzle hunt需要横向思考。 John Seale: 当我们开始设计puzzle hunt时，我们并不知道已经有其他的了，我们以为我们做的是前所未有的东西。puzzle hunt通常是基于地点的，参与者需要到不同的地点，解决复杂的谜题，通过线索和信息进行横向思考，以找到解决方案，从而到达新的地点。puzzle hunt结合了The Amazing Race和密室逃脱的元素，参与者通常以小团队的形式竞争，以证明自己的能力并尽快到达终点。
