We’ve lost contact, but strange scriptures in the mansion’s rooms seem to offer clues to his location. Unlike standard puzzles like crosswords and sudoku, our puzzle hunt features a wide variety of interesting mechanics. Each puzzle introduces new ideas and twists, requiring teamwork, intuition, and creative thinking. Can you navigate the mansion’s strange architecture, rescue Rupert, and find the fabled 10th room in this 9-roomed mansion? |

| Estimathon (E104) | The Estimathon is a fun team-based contest merging math and trivia! You’ll attempt a number of Fermi problems, ranging from “Number of prime numbers less than 1 million” to “Top speed of an ostrich in miles per year.” |
| Plank Countdown (E105) | Craving the thrill of the Mathcounts Countdown Round? Want to challenge both your mental math and core strength at the same time… while planking? If you're up for an exciting and fun experience, join us for our Plank Countdown tournament! |
