The Massachusetts Mysteries
About
The Massachusetts Mysteries are a series of puzzle hunts that will take you through different neighborhoods in the Greater Boston area. For each adventure, you and your team will need to use the landmarks around you (and your brains!) to solve the mystery.

The Big Dig, one of the USA’s most ambitious public works projects, transformed an elevated highway into a tunnel, burying it deep beneath downtown Boston. Construction lasted from 1991 to 2007, finally culminating in a new central highway – an artery that runs directly through the heart of Boston.
However, recent news suggests that it wasn’t just the I-93 that was buried. A mysterious advertisement in the classified section of last week’s paper claims that untold treasure lies hidden beneath downtown Boston.
After sending a letter to the mysterious author, you received a packet containing a series of puzzles. You and your fellow investigators also have a map of where construction occurred during the Big Dig. Armed with this knowledge, you plan to find the prize, quit your jobs, and abscond into early retirement on a tropical island.
Best of luck!
