Mystery Hunt 2010

Last weekend was MIT’s annual mystery hunt. There were a number of cool puzzles, as always, but I just wanted to highlight this “Be Kind Rewind”-esque one. For this puzzle, we had to “Swede” a popular movie and upload the resulting 3-4 minute clip to Youtube to submit. We weren’t allowed to say any of the main words in the title. See if you can guess what movie we were assigned…

Evans and I did the video editing on that bad boy. iMovie is pretty impressive!

While I’m at it. Here’s another video my team had to make for the Hunt a few years ago. It’s the trailer for a hypothetical sequel to the movie Wordplay. Greg Schroll did most of the editing on this one (hence it’s higher quality…), although I did suggest the music that plays, and the (spoiler) laser pointer idea.

    Well, if you decide you don’t like your current career, you have a promising alternative….Thoroughly enjoyed the movies, and even guessed the title of the first one. Is it “Mary Poppins”? Or could it be ” The Singing Nun”? Or perhaps, “The Taste of Food”? “The Sight of Sunsets”? “The Touch of Fabrics”?….
