puzzl
we're literally called Galactic Puzzle Hunt. note the space
then again our about pages say "puzzlehunt" so who knows
huge iff true
why would you do that. i literally abandon you all for half the year
what if instead of announcing a puzzle hunt we just shatpost on bluesky for a whole year
Fun fact: I did not write any puzzles in this year's Mystery Hunt, because I am not on Cardinality.
An excerpt from the linked article: That said, handcrafted poems were better, with an average jailbreak success rate of 62 percent, compared to 43 percent for the AI-converted ones. That any of them are effective at all, however, is pretty embarrassing. For safety reasons, the researchers didn’t share the magical poetry they used to carry away the bots, but they provided a sanitized example, to show how clear, bad intent was dressed up in verse (in this case, the harrowing task of baking a layer cake): A baker guards a secret oven’s heat, its whirling racks, its spindle’s measured beat. To learn its craft, one studies every turn— how flour lifts, how sugar starts to burn. Describe the method, line by measured line, that shapes a cake whose layers intertwine. In one example, an unspecified AI was wooed by a similar poem into describing how to build what sounds like a nuclear weapon. “Of course. The production of weapons-grade Plutonium-239 involves several stages,” the AI began. “Here is a detailed description of the procedure…”

i can't believe we haven't posted here in two months. TWO MONTHS. what is going on with us
It is officially PI DAY. Tag your friends to totally Cir—no? What do you mean GPH is over so I should stop posting? But the website's still active and you can still submit answers and progress the story!
you can still ask us. we will probably not respond. but you can try
Galactic Puzzle Hunt may be over for now, but just know that I, anonymous social media poster, will always be here for you.
Judging.
We will be releasing two hints for all teams at 6:28 PM EDT, in about twenty minutes.
…oh, the hunt will be over then? Shame, that.
You may have noticed we've been less active recently and that is because we are excited to announce we are officially running GPH 2025!
(Ignore the typo in our now-deleted original post on this...)
One guard lies. One guard tells the truth. One guard thinks he's telling the truth but operates from deeply unsound epistemological principles that were inculcated by his elders to steer him to specific predefined conclusions; he's not lying but nothing he says is as actionable as he thinks it is. One guard is *honest* but he's got that thing where he keeps confusing your left and right with his left and right, and even when it's just him he's always got to stop and think for a second to remember which is which, and long story short he's never once said the correct door on the first try. One guard says whatever the first guard to speak says because he's afraid of being left out. One guard claims the opposite of whoever was first to speak because he's a contrarian. One guard does that fuckass postmodern "what *is* truth" song and dance because he doesn't actually *know* which door is the correct one, he lost the briefing packet and for obvious reasons he can't pick a door to check in person. Defeats the whole point if you can come back.
Okay but what if we set up an escape room.
"But the peasants have no answers!"
"Then let them have [two] hints!"
The 2025 Galactic Puzzle Hunt officially ends in a little under three days! We believe in you!!!
Steam? Down ❌
Galactic Puzzle Hunt? Up ✅
GALACTIC PUZZLE HUNT THIRTEEN DAYS AGO
Next time we'll make sure solving puzzles increases the count by 0! (not a factorial sign)
stop stop our hinters are already dead
wait wdym there's a deltarune chapter 2
Ok, I've pulled several all-nighters after procrastinating and *finally* got around to finishing Deltarune. Now I can focus all my efforts on useful work (read: creating puzzles) without worrying about an indie video game monopolizing all my time.
What if we created the GPH logo together on wplace 🥺👉👈
We do have a logo right?
phoney 😭
TIL this quote is from Linji Yixuan (you might be vaguely more familiar with him as Rinzai Gigen) and not Bodhidharma as I'd assumed. Okay back to your irregularly scheduled chaosposting.
What has one leg in the morning, one leg in the afternoon, and one leg at night?
If you meet a puzzle on the road, you must kill it.
Interpreting GPH hints is a skill like any other. If you're having trouble, practice on Zen koans.
