The term "puzzle hunt" was actually not invented by this thread. The closest event to the Czech puzzle hunts which is popular in the States is probably the annual MIT Mystery Hunt [1]. (Note that it is also older than the Czech variant of puzzle hunts.) Wikipedia categorizes it as a "puzzlehunt" and it has even a page about them [2], including one of the Czech ones.

- maxerickson 11y agoThat wasn't my meaning. I was talking about how people would describe it here, not arguing about what it should be called. If you walked up to someone in the street in the US and said 'puzzle hunt', many would not know the word, but if you said 'scavenger hunt with puzzles', they would get it right away. I was also curious if that comparison was at all accurate.
