Show HN: A Cryptic Hunt Website
Hi HN!, We're a group of High Schooler's who have made a website for an international cryptic hunt we have been organizing.
Everything has been built from the ground up and has been open sourced. We'd love feedback on our work.
And if it interests you, feel free to register and try a level or two!

We're particularly proud of our frontend, since we have used a framework we built ourselves!

- gus_massa 5y agoI didn't look at the github repo, but are the questions there?
- deleteeez 5y agoNo, they are in our database.
- grzracz 5y agoThe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog :) I see what you did there
- deleteeez 5y agoWell you are close, the question ain't over yet ;)
- webmaven 5y agoTen or more years ago a web search (I think for something like Python lambdas) popped up something like this. After I solved all the puzzles the payoff was an interview at Google. However, I would have had to take time off work and get myself to a Google office in another state for the interview, and even if I got a job offer (hardly guaranteed) I'd have to move. I was pretty pretty pissed off, it felt like a complete bait-and-switch. I mean, if you're going to the trouble of setting up an elaborate puzzle gauntlet as a recruiting tool, shouldn't you at least pay for travel and lodging to get to the in-person interview? Not to mention that, as I found out later, my lack of a degree would have disqualified me from receiving an offer.
