Ever since he was young, Colby's had big dreams of winning the tri-state cookoff. After years of training (hours of YouTube videos), Colby's ready for the big leagues.
Before appearing on TV, he'll need to answer a series of skill-testing questions in the form of a 4-page application. Colby's pretty confident on these... but just in case, can you help him recall his past experiences, submit the application, and win the cookoff?

Colbyโ€™s Curious Cookoff is the perfect balance of cute and clever, and it is a monumental addition to the puzzle hunt canon. Perhaps most impressively, itโ€™s a proof-of-concept that puzzle hunts can be both accessible and interesting, and I believe it will be enjoyable to complete novices as well as to puzzle hunt pros. Boxarooโ€™s in-person escape room Storytellerโ€™s Secret is one of my all-time favorites, and seeing their sleek design sensibility, technical prowess, and innovative meta structures translated to the digital medium was an absolute delight.
