The Life - An inviting puzzle hunt
A fun and playful puzzle hunt for the online treasure hunters

Get ready for a brand-new puzzle adventure with "The Life" – a virtual hunt designed for all skill levels! Whether you're a seasoned solver or just dipping your toes into the world of puzzle hunts, this challenge is meant to be fun, inviting, and just the right amount of trickiness. The goal? Unravel the clues, crack the code, and be the first to submit the correct passcode or keyphrase. And if you do, there’s a $50 PayPal prize waiting for you!

This hunt will test your ability to piece together hidden connections, follow subtle hints, and think outside the box. Everything you need is right in front of you—if you know where to look. Unlike BOTG (boots-on-the-ground) hunts, "The Life" can be solved from anywhere, making it a perfect challenge to take on solo or with friends, no matter where you are. The thrill of discovery is yours to enjoy from the comfort of your home!

Unfortunately, unlike prior hunts on retro13 there will be no leaderboard. I stopped paying for the system that tracked that. This time you can just email me when you have the final answer.

Retro13 Mechanics

Retro13 puzzles tend to have similar puzzle solving concepts as prior hunts I've made. Also these puzzles will have clear steps, sometimes identified by the map, compass and the final coin. Not all puzzles will be specific which step is which. Further finding a step might include multiple discoveries. In general though these puzzles want to be solved and want to give you confirmation along the way such as being able to solve ciphered text by finding the proper key to move forward.

Ready to Start?

Are you ready to dive into "The Life" and see if you can crack the code before anyone else? The puzzle is live now, so don’t wait—download it, start solving, and claim your spot as the winner! Who will be the first to unlock the answer? Time to find out. 🧩💡
