BAPHL 22: Bogus Academic Professors Having Lunch

August 27th, 2023 and September 10th, 2023

In preparation for your first day, please complete the following homework: Introduction to BAPHLships. This won't be graded, and it is entirely for your own benefit. But, remember, your education is why you enrolled, right?

Common Student Questions

What is BAPHL? Really?

BAPHL is the Boston Area Puzzle Hunt League. It is a recurring series of puzzle hunts that take place in the Boston area. You can read more about it and see past BAPHL events at BAPHL.org.

When is this one taking place? And where is it taking place?

BAPHL 22 will be split into two parts because of the volume of puzzles: Sunday, August 27th from 11am-6pm EDT and Sunday, September 10th 11am-6pm EDT.

Where is this one taking place?

BAPHL 22 will take place along the six new stops of the GLX, three on each day. It is also accessible by car, bike, and feet. It's 2.7 miles if one were to walk it directly, ignoring all BAPHL stops and location puzzles, and probably double that with those considerations. No location puzzle or interaction will require a T-pass, but it might come in handy. On Sundays, local parking is free and does not require a permit.

How much does it cost?

$60 per team. If this would be a financial hardship, please contact us at. See email address at the bottom of this page.

How many people can I have on my team?

There is no official policy, but we highly recommend 3-5 solvers. This is an on-paper hunt and only so many people can share a packet of pages at once.

Why isn't this page on BAPHL.org?

We're having trouble getting that site set up for this BAPHL, so we're using this for now

Who's running this?

We are puzzlers from various usual teams, primarily II&F. We ran BAPHL 18 and BAPHL 10

Can you tell me when tickets are available?
