Auburn Puzzle Party 4: Auburn Puzzle Patrol was the fourth installment of an annual puzzlehunt held each autumn in Auburn, AL. In the 2009 Eighties-themed Auburn Puzzle Party 3, “Blue Team” (consisting largely of Math GTAs at Auburn University) won the hunt and the right to plan the 2010 game. So planning began, and after Eric Harshbarger‘s Puzzle Marathon II the 2010 theme was announced: Auburn Puzzle Patrol.
In this game, Teams of around 8 Heroes competed for the right to become the first ever Auburn Puzzle Patrol superhero team, by solving various puzzles hidden around the Auburn, AL area. By finding the codes from the elusive Puzzle Patrol Badges at the end of each puzzle, teams earned points. At the end of the day, Black Team had the most points of any team, and won the game!
