December Reward: Sudoku Hunt
🕑 Added 2020-12-01 19:54:32 +0000 UTCHello, everyone. Thank you for supporting us here! It's time for our monthly reward.
Every so often we think you deserve the pinnacle of sudoku solving, a sudoku hunt. This year, with Christmas coming up, we asked Akash Jain (Udukos) to see if he could construct a hunt, and he teamed up with Stéphane Bura to create "Tracking the Cryptid", an epic sudoku hunt. We thank them, and their test-solver Yohann with all our heart.
Remember that (1) in a puzzle/sudoku hunt, you may not get clear instructions - you sometimes have to deduce them; (2) if you discuss details of the hunt or ask questions, you will be spoiling someone else's fun - though the Discord server has a "puzzle-hunt" channel, where "spoilered" (hidden) questions can be asked and answered. Each puzzle page has links to playable puzzles at git.io.
Have fun, and feel free to send us your one-word answer and to let us know what you thought of the hunt! Merry Christmas! Simon & Mark (crackingthecryptic@gmail.com)
Puzzle level: Not that easy apparently
NB On 3rd December we uploaded a very slightly updated version of the hunt into this message in response to feedback to make it even more awesome :)

I only just finished this puzzle hunt because I wanted to solve it on paper and I only recently bought a printer, but now that I have finished it, I tip my hat to the creators. It was good fun and beautiful logic from start to finish.
I’m a little sad. I worked on the puzzle hunt but only got two of them complete, but I can’t see the solution video because I’m not at the tier that can see videos. Is there not a way to post that to everyone who was able to try the hunt?
