Imagine thousands of people running around Miami looking for a bus terminal so they can tell a bum there the word “Booger”. Imagine standing on a beach, looking at a pair of giant dice while a rabbit runs around saying “What’s up Doc?” Imagine giant inflatable pool balls sitting in various locations around town, without explanation.<\/p>\n

Weird dreams? Well, sort of. It’s what you’ll see at the Herald Hunt<\/a>. The Herald Hunt is a fantastic puzzle game put on by Miami Herald masterminds Tom Shroder and Dave Barry<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to go to the Herald Hunt this year, but a couple of friends of mine did. One of them, Andy Wenzel did a fantastic job documenting the Hunt this year, on his website TropicHunt.com<\/a>. (Why “Tropic Hunt” and not “Herald Hunt”? Tropic Hunt was the original name, until the demise of Tropic Magazine, the magazine supplement to the Miami Herald).<\/p>\n

Be sure and check out TropicHunt.com<\/a>! <\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: Andy (The TropicHunt.com Guy) Wenzel and I worked on a special write-up of The Hunt which incorporates “24”<\/a> in the form of a report from Chloe. Hope you like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
