DC’s Premier Puzzle Hunt Returns October 1

Game Genius will host its 4th annual District Hunt, a thematic outdoor adventure challenge through the city, from October 1-10.

This year’s literacy edition, The Wordsmith’s Wriddle, introduces a whodunit mystery within a secret society known as the Commission of Vowels. One of its own members went rogue and betrayed the group, so they are recruiting the public to help figure out what happened.

Everyone is welcome to play, and teams of 2-5 are encouraged to sign up together. Once registered, players can participate in two ways: join opening day and race against other teams, or start after opening day and finish the game at their own pace.

Event proceeds support literacy efforts across the region. In 2022, Game Genius has partnered with over 40 local organizations to celebrate their impact while providing a unique experience. “The whole purpose of the hunt is to offer a fun game that showcases D.C. and those who make it special,” said Peter Williamson, the Executive Director of Game Genius. “Every year gives us an opportunity to create new relationships and encourage collaboration across the region.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
